Avid Apple users know that the brand recently released the seventh-generation iPad Mini , a revamped version of its popular pint-sized tablet. As they also know, new Apple releases typically usher in deep discounts on older models, and the iPad Mini is no exception.
Right now, the sixth-generation iPad Mini is 30 percent off (that's $150 off) on Amazon making it $350 instead of the original retail price of $500—the lowest price we've ever seen on this ultra-portable tablet.

While our editors selected this model as one of the best tablets for kids , they noted that adults would appreciate its "incredible set of features," too. It's hard to resist a tablet that adds virtually zero weight to your backpack, suitcase, briefcase—you name it. At just 0.65 pounds, the iPad Mini absolutely fits the bill, making it a great option for watching videos, reading, or browsing the internet during travel days or long commutes. The 10-hour battery life is impressive for a tablet that can essentially fit in the palm of your hand.
While the screen on the iPad Mini is certainly smaller than that of other Apple tablets, its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display still packs impressive visuals in a portable package. Like other iPads, this model has Apple's signature True Tone display, which auto-adjusts color and brightness to match the ambient light. Plus, Apple's A15 Bionic chip delivers powerful performance and quick-loading graphics, so our editors also like it for gaming .
Best of all, this tablet pairs nicely with Apple's suite of accessories, many of which are also currently discounted. Adding an Apple Pencil , which magnetically attaches to the tablet, transforms this iPad into a notebook, while Apple's Smart Folio case offers front/back protection and Smart Wake technology—and it can even fold into a handy stand.

If you're looking for a tablet that's a bit bigger than the iPad Mini, several other models are on sale on Amazon right now. We spotted a notable 30 percent price cut on the ninth-generation iPad . Although this sale isn't quite as steep as other discounts we've seen on this model, scoring Apple tech for under $250 is a deal worth taking advantage of. And if you would prefer a newer model, we found slight discounts on the tenth-generation iPad and the iPad Air , too.
