The 2024 iPad Mini balances portability with powerful specs that enable it to run Apple Intelligence. But if the $499 list price seemed a bit too steep, this Best Buy deal slashes it by $150 for Cyber Monday.
That means right now you can get the 128GB iPad Mini with the A17 Pro chip for just $349. It’s an incredibly rare deal, and if you’re planning to add a tablet to your Apple ecosystem, this is the time to dive in.
The tablet has an 8.3‑inch Liquid Retina display, great for reading, streaming and gaming. Plus, it supports the Apple Pencil Pro. The upgraded A17 Pro chip gives the iPad Mini a new lease on life, making it a capable device for several years to come. Elsewhere, you’ll find USB‑C charging via a port that can handle 10 gigabits per second speeds and Wi‑Fi 6E support for faster connectivity.
CNET’s iPad expert, Scott Stein, said in his review, “The 8.3‑inch iPad Mini is a fun size. It’s the same design as last time, but it’s tiny‑feeling and easy to tuck away.” He added, “It’s kind of a big phone, kind of a small computer and kind of low‑priced for an Apple product.”
If the iPad Mini isn’t for you, CNET’s experts are rounding up the best Apple deals still available this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Be sure to give it a look -- but don’t wait too long. These deals are running out quickly.
