You can also get the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 7 for $499.00 and the 512GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 7 for $699.00, both $100 discounts and available in all colors. In total, these sales are solid second-best prices on the iPad mini 7, coming in just about $20 higher when compared to the all-time low prices we saw during Prime Day over the summer.





Deals on cellular models are a bit rarer on Amazon, with one color of the 128GB cellular iPad mini 7 on sale for $549.00 and a few colors of the 256GB cellular iPad mini 7 on sale for $649.00, both $100 off.

You can also pair a new iPad mini with the Apple Pencil Pro for $99.00 on sale right now on Amazon, down from $129.00.

I’ve had one in the past and I’ve returned it. I want to have a reason to buy one but I want a higher brightness to use outside. Anyone else on the same boat and found a decent workaround? I’d like to use as an ereader/Apple News magazine reader.

I use mine as an e-reader indoors and out, with Libby. I find it capable and usable with changing from Sepia to Dark mode and back, depending on conditions.

Also, not as part of my reply to you, but I absolutely love this device. The size and weight are perfect for me and I have yet to find anything about it lacking, annoying, nor unusable.

I've concluded it varies unit by unit.
Some or brighter than others, depending on the panel supplier.
So your best bet would be to order and then compare in the store.
 
Once it has 120hz it’ll be worth it.
But they just may sit on that until the iPhone fold, and never give the mini its 120hz for quite awhile.

Does anyone know if the mini 8 with the A19 Pro is coming out soon? Like others above have mentioned, 120Hz and higher brightness would be great but I REALLY need FaceID. Fingerprint readers don't work well with me, especially during winter. Wait, does anyone know if the mini can be unlocked when you're wearing your AppleWatch? That could solve my problem.

Thank you. The only issue I have had is the screen brightness. Otherwise I am a huge fan. I’ve had the original, the 2nd gen, the 5th gen and the 7th. I’ve keep most for a while except the 7th.
