Deals on the new iPad mini A17 Pro, or iPad mini 7, have been mostly hard to come since we saw some discounts closer to launch back in October. While Best Buy is still offering some notable trade-in value for folks flipping the previous mini 6 (or other iPads), both Best Buy and Amazon are landing today with straight up $100 price drops on almost all configurations. The deals start from $399 shipped for the 128GB model – the most affordable of the lot, but you will find the discounts across all three models today as well as the Wi-Fi + Cell variants too. Scope out the details below.
As of right now, Best Buy has the straight up $100 price drops on just about every single configuration of the new A17 Pro model. We are expecting Amazon to get in on the price matches here at some point today, but at the time of writing we are only seeing the $100 price drop on the higher-end 512GB model and select colors of the entry-level at $399 there.
- iPad mini A17 Pro 128GB $399 (Reg. $499)
- iPad mini A17 Pro 256GB $499 (Reg. $599)
- iPad mini A17 Pro 256GB $699 (Reg. $799)
The new iPad mini 7 landed last October as the long-awaited upgrade to, what is for some, the most manageable and desirable iPad form-factor. It takes the mini footprint up a notch from the previous A15 chip to the A17 Pro that is said to deliver a 30% boost in CPU performance and a 25% jump in GPU power, as well as compatibility with Apple Intelligence. They, as you can see from the deals above, also start with the 128GB of setup this time around.
