iPad 11-inch at USD 299: the budget all-rounder
Amazon’s June Apple tablet sales bring back the popular iPad 11‑inch offer at USD 299 (approx. RM1,380) for the 128GB Wi‑Fi model, a USD 50 (approx. RM230) iPad price drop compared to its standard list price. According to AppleInsider, “the popular USD 299 iPad 11 deal is back for June, with Amazon slashing prices on Apple’s entire tablet range.” Blue, Pink, and Silver colors are included, and there are USD 50–52 (approx. RM230–RM240) savings on the 256GB and 512GB versions as well. This makes the 11‑inch iPad a strong entry point for students, families, and anyone who mainly streams, browses, and handles light productivity. You’re not paying for pro features you may never use, but you still benefit from a modern design and plenty of storage choices. If you want Apple tablet sales that focus on value, this is the most affordable pick in the lineup right now.
MacBook Air M5 discount: 15-inch power for less
If you’ve been holding out for a MacBook Air M5 discount, the current 15‑inch deal is one of the strongest yet. Apple’s latest 15‑inch MacBook Air with an M5 chip, 10‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16GB of unified memory, and 512GB of storage is now USD 1,099 (approx. RM5,080) at Amazon and B&H Photo, down from its USD 1,299 (approx. RM5,990) retail price. That USD 200 (approx. RM920) reduction is described by AppleInsider as “the steepest available” as retailers compete ahead of Prime Day. Midnight is the main discounted finish, and B&H notes limited supply at this price. This model suits users who want a slim, fanless laptop that can handle daily productivity, coding, and light creative workloads without stepping up to a MacBook Pro. If you value portability but still need a 15‑inch screen, this is the most compelling MacBook Air M5 discount available right now.
iPad Air 13-inch M2 with 5G drops below USD 1,000
For buyers searching iPad Air deals at the premium end, the 13‑inch iPad Air M2 with 5G and 512GB of storage has fallen to under USD 1,000 (approx. RM4,630) at Amazon, its lowest price in more than a year. PC Guide notes this discount makes it “a great opportunity to score it for way less than its list price” and highlights that it is built for Apple Intelligence, powered by the M2 chip, and fitted with a large Liquid Retina display. With Wi‑Fi 6E and 5G cellular, this model is tailored to travellers, remote workers, and digital nomads who want a tablet that can double as a laptop replacement when paired with a keyboard. It’s expensive compared to the base iPad but provides laptop‑class performance, generous 512GB storage, and all‑day battery life. If you want an iPad price drop on a serious work machine, this is the standout offer.
Which Apple deal is right for you?
These three deals cover distinct budgets and use cases, making it easier to choose the right Apple device without overpaying. The USD 299 (approx. RM1,380) 11‑inch iPad is the safest pick if you want a baseline tablet for streaming, casual gaming, and note‑taking, or an affordable family device. The discounted 15‑inch MacBook Air M5 at USD 1,099 (approx. RM5,080) is ideal if you need a primary computer with a larger display, long battery life, and enough power for productivity and some creative work. Meanwhile, the iPad Air 13‑inch M2 under USD 1,000 (approx. RM4,630) targets people who prefer tablet flexibility with laptop‑level performance and 5G connectivity. Think about whether you need a keyboard-first laptop or a touch-first tablet and how often you’ll work on the go. Then match that priority to the deal that offers the best trade-off of price, performance, and portability.
