Avid Apple users know that the brand recently released the 7th generation iPad Mini, an improved version of the popular small-sized tablet. As they know, Apple’s new releases usually start with deep discounts on older models, and the iPad Mini is no exception.
Amazon is currently offering 30% off (or $150 off) the 6th generation iPad Mini, reducing its original retail price of $500 to $350. This is the lowest price we’ve seen so far for this ultraportable tablet.
Our editors selected this model as one of the best tablets for kids, but noted that adults will also appreciate its “amazing feature set.” It would be hard to resist a tablet that adds virtually no weight to anything: backpacks, suitcases, briefcases, etc. At just 0.65 pounds, the iPad Mini fits the bill and is the perfect choice for watching videos, reading, and browsing the Internet while traveling or commuting long distances. The 10-hour battery life is impressive for a tablet that fits in the palm of your hand.
The iPad Mini’s screen is certainly smaller than other Apple tablets, but its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display packs impressive visuals into a portable package. Like other iPads, this model features Apple’s signature True Tone display, which automatically adjusts color and brightness to match the surrounding light. Additionally, Apple’s A15 Bionic chip offers strong performance and fast-loading graphics, which is why our editors like it for gaming, too.
Best of all, the tablet pairs well with Apple’s range of accessories, many of which are also currently discounted. Add an Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to your tablet, to turn your iPad into a notebook. Meanwhile, Apple’s Smart Folio case offers front/back protection, Smart Wake technology, and can also be folded into a convenient stand.

If you’re looking for a tablet a little larger than the iPad Mini, several other models are currently on sale on Amazon. We’ve found the 9th generation iPad is discounted by 30%. This sale isn’t as deep as other discounts we’ve seen on this model, but getting Apple technology for less than $250 is a deal worth taking advantage of. And if you’re looking for a newer model, the 10th generation iPad and iPad Air are also slightly discounted.
