Apple iPad Mini Receives $100 Discount Ahead of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days
The iPad Mini is currently available at a $100 discount across several configurations ahead of Amazon's October sales event. This price drop follows a series of Apple device price increases implemented earlier this year.
Retailers have discounted the iPad Mini by $100, marking the first significant price reduction for the device since Apple increased its pricing in June. The current promotion applies to both Wi-Fi and cellular models. The 128GB Wi-Fi version is now priced at $499, while the 256GB model is available for $599. The cellular-enabled 128GB model is currently listed at $649.
While this discount brings the device closer to previous price points, it remains higher than the $400 range often seen for the base configuration throughout 2025. The Verge notes that the current sale is timed to coincide with Amazon’s 'Prime Big Deal Days,' an event that frequently sees price fluctuations across consumer electronics. Consumers should note that these prices are subject to change based on retailer inventory and the duration of the promotional event.
