Earlier this week, Apple announced the first major revision to Apple’s travel-friendly tablet product line since 2021. Prices for the iPad Mini start at $500, and all configurations and colors are available for pre-order on Amazon ahead of the tablet’s launch on October 23rd. Storage capacity starts at 128GB for the entry-level model and goes up to 512GB. Color options include Space Grey, Blue, Purple, and Starlight.

With the release of the new iPad Mini next week, Amazon has reduced the price of the 2021 iPad Mini to $380.
