Amazon Deals of the Day: Apple’s M3 iPad Air Just Dropped to a New Low Price of $449

Amazon sells a wide range of products, with new ones arriving every day across multiple categories, including home essentials, tech gadgets and furniture. The retail giant also cuts prices as much as it adds products. We know deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren’t) is time-consuming, so we compile the top markdowns daily for you. 

Today, we spotted a record-low price on the M3 iPad Air from Apple. We also found a record low on the DJI Mic Mini lavalier microphone transmitter. And the JBL Go 3 portable Bluetooth speaker is a nice $10 off. 

Apple has a lot of buzz right now with the launch of the new iPhone 17 lineup, AirPods Pro 3 and the Watch Series 11. But that doesn’t mean Apple’s older tech isn’t still exceptional quality, like the M3 iPad Air. In this iPad Air, the M3 chip ensures it won’t struggle to play all your favorite games or run the most capable apps. It has a gorgeous Liquid Retina display screen, too. It also includes fast Wi-Fi 6E support so you can stream content and download apps, no problem. We’d even go as far as saying it’s the best iPad Air that Apple has ever made. 

This M3 iPad Air is normally listed at $549. But right now you can score one for $100 off, bringing it to a record low price of $449. This price is for the 128GB model in all color options. 

DJI is most popularly known for its drones. But the company has also made waves in the audio market with its microphone lineup. The DJI Mic Mini is an ultralight wireless lavalier mic. It’s designed to be compatible with iPhones, Androids and cameras. Even though its a tiny size, it delivers clear audio along with features such as noise cancelling, automatic limiting and up to 400 meters of stable transmission. This mic is perfect for vlogging, streaming and filming wherever you go. The compact receiver and transmitter are easy to set up, so you can focus on your content instead of fiddling with gear.

Normally, this DJI Mic Mini goes for $89 but right now you can pick it up for just $59. That’s 34% off and a new record-low price, beating the previous record low seen during July Prime Day.

Taking a speaker on the go is essential for things like roadtrips, weekend getaways, family gatherings and more. The JBL Go 3 mini portable Bluetooth speaker has many features that make it one of our highly reviewed speakers for its size. It’s barely half a pound so it is light enough for you to carry around or throw in your bag wherever you go. The pocket-size speaker has a rugged, boxy design and is made with a durable fabric. It’s IP67 waterproof and dust-proof, so you can take it outdoors with few worries. The battery life is approximately 5 hours and can be charged with a USB-C cable. And it comes in a few different colors and prints you can pick from.

This speaker is fairly affordable at $40. But Amazon has slashed 25% off that price, bringing it down to just 30 bucks. It’s not a record-low price, but it’s only $5 away. 

With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world’s largest online retailer has to offer each day and gathers the best deals for you to check out.
