Update: This deal has been de-listed, but I expect it to return on Black Friday (or earlier)
The best Black Friday Apple iPad deals are being released at full speed now. First we saw the 10th gen iPad drop to $250, then the iPad Pro M4 for $850, then the iPad Air M1 for $360, and now this. Right now, Target is offering the 6th generation Apple iPad Mini for only $299.99 after a massive 40% discount.
This marks the first time the iPad Mini has dropped under $300. Although there's a newer model currently available, the 6th gen iPad Mini has plenty of power and features under the hood that keep it up to date. This is just one of Apple's Black Friday deals, so check out the rest if you're in the Apple ecosystem.
Apple iPad Mini 6th Gen for $299.99
The iPad Mini may be the most diminutive tablet of the bunch, but that doesn't mean it's hindered in any way. This is the most compact and portable iPad measuring 7.7" long, 5.3" wide, and only 0.25" thin. It weighs in at just over 10oz. It's actually not that much larger than an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The compact form factor still packs in an excellent 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. It's powered by an Apple A15 Bionic processor, which is still superior to the A14 Bionic found on the 10 generation iPad. It's also equipped with a USB Type-C port for supports the Apple Pencil 2 for better workflow. If you're looking for a powerful yet pocketable iPad, this is your pick.

Should I Wait for Better Prices on Black Friday?
Black Friday is the best opportunity to score some great deals on electronics, and Apple devices are no exception. You might be wondering just how low these prices can go. If you're interested specifically in the 5th generation Apple iPad Mini, I believe this will be the lowest price. There's even a chance that this deal will sell out and not return. However, if you're not yet sure which iPad to get, there will be more deals on other models by the time Black Friday is upon us. I'll add any new iPad deals to this list as I find them. The Apple Store is also hosting its own Black Friday Sale with their own set of discounts, although usually not as good.
