Macworld As a minimalist, I’ve long wanted to replace the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 I use for work with a slimmer and more portable iPad. Following the iPad Pro M5’s debut, I came across a heavily discounted M4 model.

Apple is planning to release new entry-level models across its iPhone, iPad, and Mac categories early next year, with an all-new affordable MacBook the most notable addition to the lineup.

Treating yourself to top-rated Apple products has never been cheaper. Amazon Black Friday deals are coming in hot, and Amazon has dropped the price of the 11-inch Apple iPad with the A16 chip to just $279.

Apple never does Black Friday sales on its site or in its retail stores, instead quietly passing discounts through Amazon. For example, the iPad Air 11-inch with M3 chip, 128GB storage and WiFi connectivity just hit an all-time low of $449 from the usual $599 price tag.

For $150 more, the iPad Air comes with a lot more tech at a sub-$500 price. To be exact, the iPad Air is currently on sale for $449. Base iPad, on the other hand, comes in at $299.

Apple's new M5 iPad Pro was unboxed by Russian YouTuber before release, but the company bricked it over-the-air, turns it into an expensive paperweight.
