6th-gen iPad mini in purple
Apple/CNET

The sixth-gen iPad Mini might not be the latest in the lineup these days, but it still has a lot to offer. The new 2024 iPad mini doesn't bring all that much new to the table which means the previous-gen model is still one of the best tablets of its size. It's still more than capable and a great tablet for consuming media, and it's even better when you can find one with a discount. Right now Amazon is slashing the price to just $350, one of the best prices yet.

The catch? There are a few. First, we don't know how long this discounted price will be available. Secondly, this $149 savings is only available on the iPad mini with the purple finish. Thankfully it just so happens that's the one you should choose anyway -- it really is stunning. Thirdly, your new iPad won't arrive until after Christmas so don't go this route if you're looking to buy one as a gift.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The iPad Mini has a gorgeous 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display paired with all-day battery life. Both front and back cameras offer 12-megapixel sensors. While 64GB of storage might not be the most you'd find on other tablets, it's still plenty for light use. If you stream all your content from Netflix and other services, storage isn't something you'll likely need too much of anyway.

The iPad Mini runs the latest iPadOS 18 software and offers features like Touch ID for quick biometric authentication and secure online payments, as well as support for the Apple Pencil and other accessories.
