Apple’s smallest iPad was launched back in September 2021, which means that it has a little over seven months on the market. It arrived with tons of hype and a design that resembles Apple’s higher-end iPad models. However, it isn’t as affordable as we wished, as it arrived with a $499 and $649 price tag on its 64GB and 256GB storage models, respectively. However, Amazon has recently made this tablet even more attractive, as it is making it a bit more affordable.

Amazon is currently shaving up to $100 off the price tag of Apple’s smallest iPad model, which means that you can take the 2021 iPad mini home for $549 after receiving a 15 percent discount. This deal is available on the Wi-Fi-only model with 256GB of storage space in starlight and Space Gray. If you want other color options, you will find yourself paying $599, which is still cool, considering that this will get you $50 savings.

However, you can get a new iPad mini for less if you can live with 64GB storage space, as this model is now available for just $409 after the latest 18 percent discount that will get you $90 savings. Either way, you will get the same 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone and wide color, the same Apple A15 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, Touch ID for secure biometric authentication, stereo speakers, Wi-Fi-6 support, and up to 10 hours of battery life.
