A couple weeks ago we saw $100 price drops finally make a return across Apple’s latest iPad mini 7 lineup, and those deals are back again today. This is on par with the best prices we have tracked on the new A17 Pro-equipped miniature iPad lineup and today Amazon is giving folks another chance to score one at the lowest we have tracked since release back in October. Pricing kicks off at $399 shipped with $100 discounts across all storage capacities as well as the Wi-Fi + Cell models.
Amazon is now offering the 128GB model at $399, the 256GB at $499, and the 512GB configuration at $699, down from the regular $499, $599, and $799 sticker prices, respectively.
- 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 deals also carry over to the Wi-Fi + Cell variants in all three storage capacities as well, but you will of course be looking at a bit more of a premium on the always-connected options:
- iPad mini A17 Pro 128GB Cell $549 (Reg. $649)
- iPad mini A17 Pro 256GB Cell $649 (Reg. $749)
- iPad mini A17 Pro 256GB Cell $849 (Reg. $949)
While I have made the argument in the past that, for some, the more affordable M2 iPad Air models are a more powerful iPad solution that, when on sale, get very closer in price to the MSRPs on the iPad mini 7. But pricing has jumped back up on most of the M2 Air configurations at this point, and the mini A17 Pro is now $100 under the previous sale prices.
That said, the mini is well, mini. Some folks love the more compact form-factor and would just prefer the more manageable, casual Apple tablet experience anyway.
This time around, the 7th generation minis features a 30% CPU boost and a 25% bump in graphics performance alongside the Apple Intelligence compatibility the A17 Pro chip provides. They also saw a nice little boost in RAM – they now start at 128GB instead of 64GB, and remain at relatively affordable prices tags, especially with deals like today’s.
