Before Black Friday begins, Labor Day sales are a great opportunity to shop around for discounts, including on Apple devices.
Considering the recent price hikes, deals on these popular items feel like mighty important finds. Amazon's been offering a few standout Apple deals in its Labor Day sale, with this price cut on the iPad Air 13-inch catching our eye.
As of Sept. 2, Amazon has marked select colors of this iPad Air down to $949, a $100 discount from its full price of $1,049. The available colors on sale at this price are starlight, purple, and space gray, so you can scoop up your favorite and save some cash.
This M4 iPad Air has climbed the ranks of our best iPads list to earn the top spot as the best pick for most people. Mashable's Samantha Mangino writes that it's "fast, moves smoothly between apps, and has a stunning high-definition display." Plus, with the M4 chip, "the iPad Air got a boost, now scoring 13,176 on the Geekbench 6 test, up from the previous model's score of 11,464." This model also offers ample space for your favorite apps, photos, and more, with 256GB of storage.
On top of that, its Liquid Retina display (with P3 wide color, True Tone, and ultralow reflectivity) makes what's on the screen really shine in sharp, vivid detail, and it even comes with a nice camera. Thanks to its 12MP Center Stage front camera and 12MP Wide back camera, FaceTime calls and photos will come through clear and detailed.
