We’re still a few days from launch, butAmazonhas already come out with the best iPad mini deal onApple’s 2021 tablet we’ve seen yet.
Just days after Walmart cut the cost and immediately sold out, Amazon has now price-matched to offer thenew iPad mini for $459.99. That’s $39 less than the recommended price of $499 and the best iPad mini deal you can find on the new tablet ahead of release on Friday.
We rarely see new tech get any sort of discount prior to release, so this really isn’t to be ignored if you’re looking to pick up the new iPad mini. Given the September launch, we were fully expecting we’d have to wait until this year’sBlack Friday iPad dealsbefore the first discount became available. Lucky us!
Today’s best iPad mini deal
iPad mini (2021):$499$459.99 at AmazonSave $39– Amazon has swooped in and price-matched Walmart’s earlier iPad mini deal, so you can now get the upcoming tablet for $459.99. Any price cut prior to the launch of new tech is always a surprise, so definitely take advantage of the $39 off if you’re looking to upgrade. We don’t expect it to stick around for long at Amazon, given Walmart sold out in a matter of days.
As one of the two new Apple iPads that were revealed in this month’s showcase (alongside thenew iPad 10.2), there’s considerable excitement around theiPad mini 6.
