Summary
Apple bumped up prices on several of its devices in June, and we haven’t seen a good discount on the iPad Mini since. Just ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Big Deals Days, however, both Wi-Fi only and cellular-connected models are 499, the 256GB model is 649.
The iPad Mini is slightly cheaper again during Prime Day
With a 100 discount, the Apple iPad Mini is temporarily back to its pre-RAMageddon price.
This base configuration of this tablet often sold for around 500 for a tablet from late 2024 is still too much. But it’s the best price since late June, and if there’s a new version coming out later this year, it might be significantly more expensive.
We reviewed this version of the iPad Mini when it launched in 2024, and while we appreciated the processor upgrade and Apple Intelligence features, it felt lacking in some of the quality-of-life improvements found in the larger iPads that launched around the same time.
