Were you disappointed to see the newest iPad mini edition marked down by only $100 for Amazon's extended Black Friday 2025 festivities last week? If so, it's now time to rejoice and maximize your holiday savings with Best Buy's killer new Cyber Monday promotion.

This slashes a totally unprecedented and presumably unbeatable $150 off the list prices of every single iPad mini (A17 Pro) model, starting with Wi-Fi-only units capable of accommodating 128 gigs of data internally and ending with cellular-enabled variants equipped with 512GB storage space.

Save big before Christmas with Amazon's top Cyber Monday 2025 tablet deals!

The cheapest such devices are normally available for $499 a pop, mind you, and while you can choose your favorite colorway at Best Buy right now at that hefty discount, Amazon is only matching its arch-rival's Cyber Monday 2025 deal for a "Starlight" hue as far as an entry-level iPad mini (2024) configuration is concerned.

Whichever retailer, color option, or storage variant you'll pick, you should rest assured knowing you grabbed one of the best tablets around at a very hard-to-beat price. I'd honestly be surprised if any major US retailer offers a bigger than $150 discount on this product before a new generation comes out, which could happen next year... or not.

Especially if you happen to like compact tablets more than gargantuan slabs like Apple's 2025 iPad Airs and iPad Pros, the 2024 iPad mini will put a big smile on your face (or that of a loved one) this Christmas with an easy to maneuver and undeniably beautiful 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, razor-thin 6.3mm profile, and ultra-lightweight sub-300 gram body.

Our comprehensive iPad mini (A17 Pro) review from last year highlights a bunch of other key strengths that are even more impressive at this new discount, including respectable battery life, decent sound, Apple Intelligence support, and Apple Pencil Pro support. Granted, the 60Hz refresh rate limit of the otherwise great aforementioned screen is not ideal, but you can't have it all for just 350 bucks, right?
