This is a device that used to cost at least $599 back in the day, mind you, although in the spirit of full disclosure, we should mention that hasn’t actually been the case in a fairly long time. Instead, major US retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy have sold the iPad Air (2022) at $100, $150, and yes, $200 discounts in an entry-level 64GB storage variant a bunch of times in recent months, giving bargain hunters plenty of opportunities to save big bucks before discontinuing the two-year-old slate.
That being said, $200 discounts have been pretty rare sights, typically disappearing extremely quickly after popping up at one or several of the aforementioned retailers. Right now, Walmart is the only one charging $399 for a fifth-generation iPad Air in a single purple colorway, which strongly suggests you have but a few hours (at most) to score this exceptional deal before it inevitably goes away (possibly, for good).
