The iPad Mini is slightly cheaper again during Prime Day

Apple's iPad Mini (2024) has dropped $100 across Wi-Fi and cellular models ahead of Amazon's Prime Big Deals Days, marking the best discount since the price hike in June. The 128GB Wi-Fi model now starts at $499, though this remains above its typical $400 price point from 2025. The sale is notable given speculation that a new iPad Mini could launch later this year at a higher price.
