We're just a few short days away from the official launch of Amazon Prime Day 2025. This year, the retailer has blessed us with four shopping days instead of the normal two and we're not mad. Prime Day offers some of the year's best sale prices so it's a great time to score that tablet you've been considering or making some much-needed kitchen upgrades. However, there's already an excellent sale price on a super portable tablet from Apple if you don't want to wait until Tuesday.

As of July 6, the Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB) is on sale for at Amazon for $399, marked down from the standard price of $499. That's a 20% discount that takes $100 off the price. It also matches the all-time low price at Amazon.

On Mashable's list of the best iPads, the Apple iPad mini earns the top spot as the best option for reading. In part, that's thanks to its smaller size, measuring 8.3 inches. Plus, you'll get 128GB for storing all your book downloads. This compact size will be great for packing along on upcoming summer travel.

In Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino's review, she states, "iPad Mini isn't just a glorified e-reader, it's still a versatile tablet. Like any iPad, you can read on it, but you can also stream your favorite shows — a level of flexibility that a Kindle simply can't match."

Consider the iPad mini to be a multi-purpose device, great for streaming your favorite summer shows from bed and compact enough to come along on your next vacation.

While it's still $100 off, snag the iPad mini before the chaos of Prime Day kicks in this coming week. Order soon and you can even shop the Prime Day event from your new iPad.
