The latest iteration of Apple’s iPad Mini is experiencing a significant price reduction as part of Cyber Monday’s deals. Amazon and Best Buy have slashed the price of the tablet’s base Wi-Fi configuration to $349, representing a $150 discount – the lowest price offered since its initial launch last year. Furthermore, the 256GB Wi-Fi model is available at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $449, marking another record-low price point. This seventh-generation iPad Mini boasts Apple’s A17 Pro chip and compatibility with Apple Intelligence, alongside support for the Apple Pencil Pro and enhanced Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds. The device retains the familiar 8.3-inch 60Hz LCD display, portrait-oriented webcam, and overall design of its predecessor. Notably, it’s the first iPad Mini to be compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, which magnetically attaches for pairing and charging, offering an action-based squeeze functionality. The tablet’s processing power allows for smooth multitasking using iPadOS 26’s multi-window system. Its small size positions it as a convenient option for reading or as a portable device when space is a constraint. Best Buy and Amazon also offer the 256GB model at a discounted price of $899, representing an all-time low for the iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) model. These price reductions underscore the competitive landscape within the tablet market and offer consumers a compelling opportunity to acquire a premium tablet experience at an attractive cost. |
