On By Littum

The best Black Friday Apple iPad deals are being released at full speed now. First we saw the 10th generation iPad drop to $250, then the iPad Pro M4 for $850, and now this. Right now, Amazon offers the 6th generation Apple iPad Mini for just $299.99 after a massive 40% discount.

This is the first time the iPad Mini has dropped below $300. Although there is a newer model currently available, the 6th generation iPad Mini has plenty of power and features under the hood that keep it up to date. This is just one of Apple’s Black Friday deals, so check out the rest if you’re in the Apple ecosystem.

The iPad Mini may be the most diminutive tablet of the bunch, but that doesn’t mean it’s hindered in any way. This is the most compact and portable iPad, measuring 7.7″ long, 5.3″ wide and just 0.25″ thin. It weighs just over 10 oz. It’s actually not that much bigger than an iPhone 15 Pro Max .The compact form factor still packs in an excellent 8.3″ Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color and ultra-low reflectivity. It is powered by an Apple A15 Bionic processor, which is still superior to the A14 Bionic found on the 10th generation iPad. It also features a USB Type-C port for non-legacy charging and supports Apple Pencil 2 for better workflow. If you are looking for a powerful yet pocket-friendly iPad, this is definitely your choice.

Should I wait for better prices on Black Friday?

Black Friday is the best opportunity to get some great deals on electronics, and Apple products are no exception. You might be wondering how low these prices can go. While we have no direct feedback from Apple, we have years of our own historical price trends to back up our predictions. At this point, Black Friday is close enough that there is certainly no harm in waiting. I don’t think the iPads will drop in price longer are iPad 10th Gen, iPad Pro (M4), iPad Mini (6th Gen) and iPad Air (M1). I think iPads can still fall in price are iPad Mini (A17 Pro) and iPad Air (M2). If Amazon isn’t your preferred supplier (or if it runs out of stock), I expect these deals to be available at Best buy and Walmart likewise. The Apple Store is also hosting its own Black Friday sales, though those deals won’t be nearly as good as the third-party retailers.
