Amazon Takes $100 Off iPad Mini 7 With Return of All-Time Low Prices, Starting at $399

There is nothing about the iPad Mini that involves some expensive challenge of "miniaturization"

It's larger than every single iPhone and has the same guts

How many display lines do you think exist that can produce the curved corners that Apple does?

I’m not saying it’s a worthy trade off, but these are custom displays that only get made for the mini line. You have to pay for that.

Have both the M4 13" iPadPro and iPad Mini 7. Use both extensively. Wouldn't want to be without either.

Me too and I doubt I’ll never not own both a large and small tablet at the same time.

The pricing discussion is ridiculous. Of course it's overpriced relative to the development and production cost. Vastly overpriced.

Apple prices relative to the value you all ascribe to the product. And the Mini is most likely out of balance compared to other Apple devices (i.e., higher price/value ratio compared to other consumer devices) because it's mostly targeted at (and bought for) business use - there the price is less relevant...

I’ve had the 11 in air 5 but sold it, just felt a little awkward for my use cases of browsing and reading. I ended up getting the mini 7 the last time it was on sale and I actually really like it!

Good price. Apple should have priced it at the current sale price. Not expecting any further discount in the near future. Good that the sale price is for all the colors.

Bought my Mini 7 to basically be a high-functioning Kindle, and it excels in the role way better than I expected. I downsized from a 7th gen, and rarely miss the extra real estate.

Best Buy also has the iPad Air 11-inch (M2) for $499.99 and the Apple Pencil Pro is $99.99.

Buying an iPad used to be really easy. Now it’s so complicated with different models on different release cycles. I need a new iPad but don’t know which model to choose.

As much as I like the 9” form factor, I truly despise how weirdly the app icons are laid out. Even if I get past that quirk, I cannot stand 60 hz devices in 2025. Launching a $500 iPad with 60hz is an instant no from my side at least. A 90 hz should be the bare minimum standard at this point.

No matter how many other iPads I try, I always come back to the mini. Does almost everything a bigger unit does, but ultra-portable.

There needs to be a mini pro with OLED. I want the form factor but not willing to make the compromise on the display.

$399 for an iPad Mini

Or as I like to call it... "what the MSRP is supposed to be"

Still too much. $300 for base model is ideal.
