Right now, Amazon and Best Buy are offering the current generation Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro) for only $399.99 shipped after a $100 (20% off) discount. That matches the best deal I saw during Black Friday 2024. If you're looking for an iPad that's both powerful and pocketable, this is your best pick.
2024 Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro)
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. The compact form factor still packs in a gorgeous 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. The new iPad Mini was released in October of 2024 and features some pretty significant improvements over its predecessor, including a more powerful A17 Pro processor, double the base storage capacity, an updated faster Wi-Fi 6e protocol, a USB Type-C port that offers faster charging, and compatibility with the newer Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and upcoming support for Apple Intelligence.
