As Amazon latest major sales period comes to a close, there are still some massive bargains being discovered.
For example, you can get almost $100 off the 5th Gen Apple iPad Air in the US, which now costs $499.99 instead of the usual $599.
That's for th 64GB Wi-Fi-only model in Space Grey. There are also discounts on other colours and storage variants, with a couple of Wi-Fi + Cellular versions available with money off too.
There's one thing to remember though – as the deal seems to be part of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days promotion, you will need to redeem it before the clock strikes midnight today (Wednesday 11 October 2023). Otherwise you might turn into a pumpkin, or something.
You'll then have to wait until the end of November and Black Friday. And even then there's no guarantee that Apple devices will be available as part of future deals.
