  "account": "In June, Apple had to increase the prices on its MacBook and iPad lineups due to rising RAM and component costs. Since the price hike, discounts have been scarce, making today's deal on Apple's 11-inch iPad Air an unexpected bonus. The retailer is offering the 2026 iPad Air M4 for $649, which is $100 less than its original price of $749. This is the lowest price point since Apple raised its prices in June, making it a significant discount compared to its starting cost of $599.",
  "summary": "The 11-inch iPad Air just received a $100 discount on Amazon — that's the lowest price we've seen since Apple's summer price hikes.",
