Apple’s smaller iPad delivers remarkable performance. While it may not be the most exciting tablet in the collection, it remains outstanding—especially with a $100 reduction.

As of Jan. 9, the Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, 128GB, WiFi) is being offered at a discounted price of $399 at Amazon and Best Buy. This amounts to a 20% cut from the original price of $499.

The seventh-generation iPad Mini, launched in the fall of 2024, includes expected yet appreciated improvements from its predecessor, such as a new A17 Pro chip, enhanced RAM, a base storage of 128GB, and Apple Intelligence. Measuring just 8.3 inches, it is portable enough for reading, streaming, and casual browsing while on the move. If you’re not looking for a standalone e-reader, the iPad Mini stands out as the ideal tablet for reading, being only an inch larger than a Kindle Paperwhite.

Mashable’s reviewer Stan Schroeder states, “If you’re new to the iPad, and you want the most compact one around (or any compact tablet), the new iPad mini 7 is the best option.” Though it may not be revolutionary, it’s a reliable device for the cost, particularly when discounted.
