On this page, we're tracking the best iPad Air 5 deals using live widgets that link directly to retailers in your region showing the best prices at any given time. The latest iPad Air 5th gen was released in March 2022, so it's still relatively new, but we're already seeing some fantastic deals on this Air tablet that offers more Pro-like performance than ever.
The official iPad Air 5th-gen price from Apple now starts at $599/£669. This is (unfortunately) a markup from the original retail price of £569 for those in the UK due to rising inflation, but luckily we're seeing frequent deals popping up here and there. One of the best prices we've ever seen was $519 during Amazon's Early Access Sale in October last year, but the 64GB model currently sits at $551 on Amazon.
This latest iPad Air is equipped with a powerful M1 chip, able to handle anything you throw at it.

The latest iPad Air features Apple's powerful M1 chip and an improved 8-core GPU. The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina screen boasts a stunning 3.8 million pixels, while you also get ultra-fast 5G connectivity and a front camera with Centre Stage for video conferencing. Apple says it's 60 per cent faster than its previous 2020 iPad Air, and considering it's still significantly cheaper than the iPad Pro, what's not to love? See our full iPad Air (5th Gen, 2022) review for more details.
The starting price for an entry-level iPad Air 5 is around $599/£669 for the WiFi-only tablet with 64GB of storage. Cellular 5th-gen iPad Air models however start much higher at $749/£719. These days 64GB of storage isn't exactly generous, although it might be just fine if you benefit from cloud storage. Content creators will probably want to opt for the 256GB configuration, which is priced at $749/£819 for the Wi-Fi model and $899/£869 for the 5G cellular version.

Which is the best iPad Air to buy?
The 2020 4th gen iPad Air is still widely popular and available, but for the best value for money, the new 5th-generation iPad Air (2022) is a worthwhile upgrade. It doesn't offer much difference in terms of design, but it has the same M1 processor as the 2021 iPad Pro models for superb performance.
With a stunning 10.9-inch Liquid Retina IPS 1640 x 2360 LCD screen with a wide colour gamut, great speakers and very reasonable battery life, the iPad Air 5 is very similar to an iPad Pro lite, but at a more affordable price – just.
This iPad Air also supports the 2nd gen Apple Pencil, sports a 12 MP, f/1.8 dual-pixel main camera and a 12 MP f/2.4 ultrawide selfie camera and comes in five colour options.
