iPad mini 6 deal: Rare $40 discount drops prices back to all-time lows
Since its debut, deals on the iPad mini 6 have been incredibly hard to find. The diminutive tablet retails for $499 and has rarely deviated from that price, even around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
However, Amazon is giving you the chance to save close to $40 on one right now with the entry level model falling to $460 there. That’s a match for the lowest we have ever seen it go so it’s little surprise that shipping times are already extending into the new year. That being said, you can and should still lock in this low price while you can.

With the sixth-generation model, iPad mini is seeing a complete design overhaul. The device now has an edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display, similar to those found on the iPad Air 4 and latest iPad Pro models, and its screen size has increased to 8.3 inches without the overall footprint increasing.
Gone are the ‘forehead and chin’ bezels, replaced by an all-screen design and Touch ID built into the top button. The device has also gained support for Apple’s more advanced Apple Pencil 2.
It’s just as significant an upgrade on the inside, too, with the jump to Apple’s A15 Bionic chip. The new SoC allows for 40% faster performance in terms of raw CPU and an 80% boost to GPU performance compared to the previous-gen iPad mini. iPad mini 6 also has USB-C connectivity and 5G support in the cellular models making it the best iPad to use on the go.
