Save up to $144: As of Oct. 25, you can get a refurbished iPad Air (3rd generation) for as low as $354.99 at Woot.
The 2019 iPad Air (3rd generation) still has a lot to love in 2021.
When it came out, it was the ideal choice for deal seekers looking for an option between the iPad mini and iPad Pro. And as of Oct. 25, today’s deal seekers can score it for even cheaper: You can get a refurbished iPad Air (3rd generation) for as low as $354.99 at Woot.
If you’ve never owned an iPad before, it can be tough to distinguish just what makes this 3rd generation iPad Air such a great deal. For comparison purposes, the original first-generation iPad (from 2010) also retailed for $499. And you didn’t get nearly as many features as the 2019 iPad Air.
The 2019 iPad Air has a 10.5-inch Retina display with thinner bezels than previous generations and a fully laminated screen and wide color P3 palette to boot. While it doesn’t come with Face ID like Pro models, you do get the benefit of Touch ID, which works just as well.
It’s not going to replace your smartphone as far as its camera goes. But its seven-megapixel FaceTime HD camera is capable of recording 1080p HD video and its eight-megapixel camera with f/2.4 aperture on the back takes decent photos — and that’s something.
It is also compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil, still has a headphone jack, is equipped with stereo speakers, and supports the Smart Keyboard. And did I mention it’s got a powerful A12 Bionic chip on board? It’s well worth its original $499 price tag — so the $349.99 price drop at Woot is basically a steal. Take your pick from multiple color, storage capacity, and connectivity options while you can.
