The 32GB model is available at Amazon for $299, but only in Gold as of this writing.
iPad Air (4th Gen) | $572
Apple’s brand new iPad Air might not be billed as the highest-end model of the bunch, but it has the newest and fastest processor and cribs the sleek design from the pricier, perk-packed iPad Pro.
