If you’ve been delaying getting a new tablet because of Apple’s recent price hikes, Prime Day is the best time to take the leap. Apple’s iPad mini with an A17 Pro chip is on sale for $499 right now, a savings of $100 off its MSRP and bringing it back to its original price before the RAM surge.
The iPad mini brings you everything you want from an iPad just in a smaller size that actually fits in one hand, your purse, or a jacket pocket. It’s light enough to use for reading, comfortable enough to carry with you on a trip, and perfectly capable of handling a wide range of tasks. Do you need to send an email, stream a movie, or take on an unexpected work call — done. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display looks sharp and vibrant, and the A17 Pro chip keeps everything running fast and smooth. The iPad supports iOS 27 with the new Siri AI, all-day battery, a 12MP front camera with Center Stage, and Wi-Fi 6E as well.
You may have read rumors that a new model is on the way with a bunch of upgrades, including an OLED ProMotion display, new design, and an A20 Pro processor. That’s true, but we also think it’ll come with a price hike of at least $50, if not $100. Apple raised the prices of its latest iPhones and Macs without any major upgrades, so we think the new iPad mini could start at $699.
So go shell out $499 and grab this tablet with 128GB of storage space while it’s still on sale. Because it might be the lowest price you’ll ever be able to spend on a new iPad mini.
