A iPad mini deal knocks a sweet $120 off the cost of the 7th-generation tablet. That’s up to 25% off, the best price we’ve ever seen for the ultra-portable computer. And the sale includes a range of colors and storage capacities.
The special price is timed to be part of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days but is also available from rival retailer Best Buy.

iPad mini deal: Mini but mighty
The iPad mini 7, released last October, sets itself apart by being ultraportable. It fits in the palm of your hand while packing an 8.3-inch screen. That makes it a brilliant way to read ebooks, play games, skim through Instagram, etc. Really, anything you use your phone for now is better on a larger screen.
And the mini is more than a phone — it’s a full Apple tablet. At the same time, it’s lighter and more portable than other models, but still offers the full iPad experience.
Among the major changes of the latest model is support for Apple Intelligence. This suite of AI-powered tools can fix users’ grammar, as well as generate pictures based on user instructions. And more AI features are on the way.
The most recent iPad mini works with the Apple Pencil Pro, a top-tier stylus that debuted last year. The tiny tablet boasts a 12MP Ultra Wide Front Camera with support for the excellent Center Stage, Touch ID in a side button, two speakers and Wi-Fi 6E.
iPad mini deal: $120 off!
While it usually sells for $499, the iPad mini is available now for $379 from multiple retailers. As far as Apple deals go, that’s a very good one. While an argument could be made that the tablet is ordinarily overpriced, considering the iPad 11 sells for $349, but that’s immaterial right now. You can get the mini at the best price ever.
Still, you need to shop now. Both Amazon and Best Buy knocked $120 off the cost of the 128GB version — 25%! — for those who put in an order soon. And this iPad mini 7 sale applies to all colorways: black, blue, purple and silver.
Buy it from: Amazon or Best Buy
Even better, the deal also includes $120 off the variants with 256GB or 512GB of storage, plus the versions with built-in 5G cellular-wireless networking, too.
But don’t dawdle. We don’t know how long this iPad mini 7 sale will last. You might have the rest of the week, or it could be over tomorrow. How much inventory the two retailers have in stock could play a large role in the duration of the sale.
iPad mini 7 is tiny but boasts an 8.3-inch screen. iPadOS makes it a powerful computer, and it beats even the largest iPhone for watching video or playing games.
