You know that eight-gen iPad mini with a high-quality OLED screen and powerful A19 Pro chip that everyone expects Apple to unveil at some point over the next couple of months or so? Well, I'm here today to tell you... to forget all about it and instead recommend a (much) older version of the same tablet.

Why would you possibly opt for a 2021-released iPad mini with an IPS LCD panel and Apple A15 Bionic processor in 2026? Simple: because it's too affordable to look away, especially if you hurry and you can meet a key requirement. Namely, if you've never purchased anything from Woot before, in which case the slate's already reduced $449 price will instantly go down to only $314.30 with the use of the "SUPERSAVING" coupon code at checkout.
Apple iPad mini (6th Gen)
$314 30
$599
$285 off (48%)
Equipped with a pretty high-quality 8.3-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD screen, an Apple A15 Bionic processor, a super-premium metal-and-glass body, and a reasonably large battery promising "all-day" endurance between charges, the 2021-released iPad mini can still be a smart buy in 2026 at only a little over three Benjamins with 5G and a full 1-year warranty. The maximum discount available today at Woot can only be accessed by first-time e-store shoppers with the coupon code "SUPERSAVING", while everyone else needs to settle for a smaller $240 discount from the tablet's $599 list price.

Not a first-time Woot customer? Not to worry, as the same promo code will slash 20 percent off the $449 price for anyone, which means that you'll have to pay $359.20 here if you've done business with the Amazon-owned e-tailer in the past.

That's also not bad for a brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged iPad mini (6th Generation) with a full 1-year Apple warranty included, and perhaps even more impressively, built-in 5G connectivity. That's right, this is a cellular-enabled variant sold at massive discounts of up to 285 bucks from an original list price of $599, and if we compare that with how much the newer iPad mini (7th Gen) costs with 5G support, you're likely to find Woot's latest deal even harder to resist.


Released in 2024 with an Apple A17 Pro processor under the hood and pretty much no other notable upgrades or improvements over its 2021 predecessor, the (still) latest iPad mini edition normally starts at a whopping $599 after a recent price hike while fetching no less than $749 in an entry-level configuration with 5G speeds and 128GB storage.

Granted, the iPad mini (2021) on sale at Woot at huge discounts today (and today only) can merely accommodate 64 gigs of content internally, but I don't personally see that as an absolute dealbreaker when I look at the tablet's stellar long-term software support, solid battery life, and decent overall performance. This is obviously not a screamer by 2026 standards, but it's definitely not a pushover either, and if you're a bargain hunter, you'd be lucky to claim this special offer before it goes away... tomorrow.
