Apple’s latest iPad Mini is the best iPad option for those needing portability above all else, and right now it is available at a massive $100 discount. Down to $399 at Amazon, this is a match for the lowest we’ve seen Apple’s diminutive tablet go since its late 2024 launch. The deal comes just before Amazon’s 2025 Big Spring Sale, but you don’t have to wait until it officially starts. As a matter of fact, this might run out of stock before the event even begins. It’s also a good time to get it if you’re worried about price increases on Apple products due to tariffs, too.
Despite being small, the current iPad Mini is powerful thanks to its speedy A17 Pro chip. That chip also enables Apple Intelligence features, if that’s your bag. Other specs include 128GB of storage and a stunning 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. It also has fast Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and support for the fancy Apple Pencil Pro. It has a 12-megapixel ultrawide front camera that includes Center Stage for video calls and a 12MP wide back camera to help you scan documents clearly or take photos with your iPad.

As well as the base 128GB model, there are deals available on multiple colors and storage configurations, and some cellular models can also be found with deep discounts. At the top of the range is the 512GB model that is down to $699 from $799, providing the same $100 saving, or the cellular-enabled version discounted to $849 from $949.
We’re big fans of this little tablet, but we know that it isn’t going to be the right model for everyone. Be sure to check out our list of the best iPad deals if the iPad Mini isn’t quite your speed. There are special discounts available across the entire tablet lineup right now.
Why this deal matters
This deal cuts $100 off the price of the latest iPad Mini less than six months after its launch in October 2024 — an opportunity that doesn’t come around often. The new iPad Mini is fast yet small and light, and it might just be the perfect Balatro device. If a new tablet is on your 2025 wish list, now is the time to strike.
