Forget the iPhone Duo: M4 iPad Air sees significant 21% discount

As pre-orders for the high-priced iPhone Duo approach, tech enthusiasts are being encouraged to consider the 2026 M4 iPad Air as a more cost-effective alternative. Amazon Australia has launched a rare 21% discount on the 11-inch model, reducing the price to AU$987. While the iPhone Duo carries a premium price tag of AU$3,499, the iPad Air offers significant performance upgrades, including the M4 chipset and improved connectivity, making it a powerful tool for multitasking and creative work. Although the display remains capped at 60Hz, the tablet provides a superior canvas for entertainment and productivity compared to foldable smartphones. By pairing a standard iPhone with the discounted iPad Air, consumers can achieve a more versatile setup for significantly less money than the cost of the new foldable device. This deal represents the largest price reduction for the current-generation iPad Air since its release earlier this year.
