How much does the new iPad Air cost?
\nThe iPad Air saw a noticeable price hike when the redesigned model was introduced in October 2020, going from a starting price of \u00a3479\/$499 to \u00a3579\/$599, representing an increase of \u00a3100\/$100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, that wasn\u2019t the case this time around, with identical pricing to the iPad Air 4 range for the Wi-Fi variant \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s \u00a310 cheaper in the UK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cellular models are a little more expensive this time around though, likely down to the inclusion of upgraded 5G connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
