[MacRumors]

In the wake of announcements for a new iPad mini and new iPad, Expercom has introduced the first cash discounts on these 2021 tablets. Expercom typically is the first Apple reseller to have solid discounts on its latest products, but shoppers should note estimated shipping times can stretch as far as six weeks.

Anyone know historically how long it took for Amazon and/or Target to list iPads to order? Did they hold preorders?

If you have an Apple Card you get 3% cash back making it the same price as the discount.

An Authorized Apple Retailer.

I picked up my AirPods Max with a discount from them back when they were fully priced everywhere else.

Why are the bezels on the new iPad mini so FAT? It looks ridiculous. Shrink the size like on the iPhone.

 

[DarthDon]

same me. speechless... ipad mini; half-done, iphones with minor upgrades, iwatch the same. IOs and IpadOS nothing... why actually did they that show? they instead of just throwing that stuff at the homepage? steve come back...

lets hope there will be a nice mac session later this year to cover that shame...

they change that now in 10 yrs.
sad - lost chance. i was waiting for that for a long time. but c'mon, that looks terrible! and 512GB is missing! 64GB is actually a joke in 2021...

I think the sad part is that they actually have the balls to call it an all-screen display.

Why do you consider the mini half done? And really why do people expect from iPhone or Apple Watch updates? Transparent devices that display holograms? A foldable phone?

 

[Maconplasma]

I love that wallpaper. Hopefully someone uploads it on the web at some point.

If you’re able to get the education discount from Apple (which pretty much everyone can), the 64GB model is $449. Plus they’re giving us $225 for our old Mini 5s.

 

[DocMultimedia]

Yep, I ordered my new iPad with the discount. Good deal for Apple stuff.

 

[anthorumor]

The storage sizes makes zero sense except financially to Apple. Where’s 128Gb? Maybe they should up the free iCloud storage on all 64Gb 2021 devices.

 

[DarthDon]

I think the sad part is that they actually have the balls to call it an all-screen display.

they actually have the balls to show all of that...

the moment there will be a "at least good" working Phone with linux (ubuntu etc) i am actually done with apple. notebooks after mbp 17" where a joke, ipads after few years no updates (even if you pay 2 grands for it), iphones with that ugly notch - now this...
my imac is already working great with ubuntu since they fu** around with icloud. (i have nothing to hide but i dont like them to mess with my stuff)

could please someone reanimate steve 😭

64 gigs is 2021 a joke. 512 a must. and apple watch shows that with just monor design updates they have no clou to do something pretty anymore. and with iphone - look at the market - there are lots of pretty phones out there. notch is gone for years out there. smaller facetime cam, speaker hidden with small slut - its all possible. and that iphone 5 concept in 2021... hollow is actually possible but $$$, folding is crap.

Because if they were smaller you wouldn’t be able to hold the device without accidentally tapping the screen. It works on the iPhone because you hold it with one hand where you cradle it, you don’t grip the edge like picking up a notebook.

Fat? It’s an iPad you need a small amount on the sides just like other iPads of this design. To the edge wouldn’t work well

512 is overkill for most people. I’d say the sweet spot is 128 for base model. But apple knows the 64 gig base upsell because 64 is so little and 128 is enough for the majority.
