Apple’s 2021 iPad mini is down to $399.99 on Amazon, a sweet $100 discount off its usual retail price. You can get the 64GB Wi-Fi + Cellular variant with a similar $100 off.

Featuring an A15 Bionic chip and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple’s smallest iPad can be your perfect travel companion.

iPad mini 6 is your ideal couch companion

Announced in H2 2021, the 6th gen iPad mini features a design language similar to the iPad Pro and Air lineup. It has squarish edges with an 8.3-inch display surrounded by relatively little bezels from all sides. The A15 Bionic chip ticking inside has enough power to handle your photo and video editing needs on the go.

At the front, you get a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage support. This ensures you stay in the frame when on a video call. There’s another 12MP snapper at the rear that can record 4K videos. In the Cult of Mac‘s iPad mini 6 review, we found it the perfect tablet for casual use and couch companion. iPad mini 6 supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, so you can use it for sketching or jotting down class notes.

Similar to the latest iPad Pro and Air, the iPad mini comes with a USB-C port, which makes charging it much more convenient.

Despite its compact form factor, the iPad mini has enough juice to last through a day of use. And with light usage, it can easily last up to 3-4 days on a single charge.

Save 20% on the iPad mini 6

At $499, the iPad mini 6 is relatively expensive, especially when you can get the M1 iPad Air for $100 more. After a $100 discount, though, it becomes much more affordable and provides great value.

If you are always on the move, consider buying the cellular model. With 5G connectivity, the iPad mini 6 will provide great mobile data speeds. The entry-level Wi-Fi + Cellular variant costs $649, but Amazon has currently discounted it by $99 to $549.99.

The deal is unlikely to last for long, so grab the iPad mini 6 variant you want before stocks run out.
