Slash $100 off the most portable iPad in Apple's lineup
SAVE $100: As of Jan. 9, the Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, 128GB, WiFi) is down to just $399 at Amazon and Best Buy, down from $499. That's a savings of 20%.
Apple's smallest iPad packs a surprising amount of punch. It may not be the most exciting tablet in the brand's lineup, but we still think it's pretty great — especially when it's on sale for $100 off.
As of Jan. 9, you can get the Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, 128GB, WiFi) on sale for just $399 at Amazon and Best Buy. That's a savings of 20% from its list price of $499.
The seventh-generation iPad Mini, released in fall 2024, packs some predictable (yet welcome) upgrades from its predecessor — including a new A17 Pro chip, a boost in RAM, a new starting storage capacity of 128GB, and of course, Apple Intelligence. At just 8.3 inches, it's compact enough to slip in your purse and whip out for on-the-go reading, streaming, and casual scrolling. In fact, if you prefer not to buy a separate e-reader, we think the iPad Mini is the best tablet for reading (it's just an inch bigger than a Kindle Paperwhite).
Mashable's reviewer Stan Schroeder writes, "If you're new to the iPad, and you want the most compact one around (or any compact tablet), the new iPad mini 7 is the best choice." It won't knock you off your feet or anything, but it is a very solid device for the price, particularly when it's on sale.
