Apple has discounted several of its iPad models as part of Amazon’s Spring Sale, but one of the best deals to check out is on the iPad Mini 7. The compact tablet is currently $100 off (20%), bringing the base model down to $399 from $499—the lowest price we’ve seen.
This limited-time deal applies to the Wi-Fi model with 128GB of storage, and all four color options—including the new Blue finish—are eligible for the same discount.
Why Buy the Apple iPad Mini 7?
Apple introduced the 7th generation iPad Mini (review) last year as an incremental upgrade rather than a complete overhaul. However, it comes with several meaningful improvements that make it a great option for those seeking a powerful yet compact tablet.
On the outside, the iPad Mini 7 retains its sleek, lightweight aluminum design, making it easy to hold with one hand or slip into a jacket pocket or bag. Apple also upgraded the USB-C port, which now supports 10 Gbps transfer speeds—twice as fast as the previous generation.
The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2266 x 1488 pixels) still runs at 60Hz, but Apple has refined it by reducing the “jelly effect” and improving Apple Pencil Pro compatibility. The cameras remain 12 MP sensors on both the front and rear, but they now feature Center Stage support for video calls and Smart HDR 4 for enhanced photo quality.
Internally, Apple has boosted the RAM to 8GB, and the A17 Pro chip not only delivers faster performance but also introduces AI-powered features through Apple Intelligence. Storage starts at 128GB, which is a welcome improvement. Additionally, the iPad Mini 7 benefits from more stable Wi-Fi 6E and faster Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
With this limited-time discount, the iPad Mini 7 is more appealing than ever. Are you planning to grab one at this lower price? Let us know in the comments!
