Apple's iPad mini 6th Gen may be a few years old now, but don't let its age fool you. Especially now, by the way, when you can get the 256GB model with cellular connectivity at a much lower price.

Specifically, Amazon now sells this mini-sized beast with a generous $100 price cut in select color variants, making it way harder to resist. The promo brings the device down to about $700 from its original asking price, so you should definitely check it out.

If you don't mind going for an Android tablet, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S11 is definitely worth checking out at its current Amazon price.

$100 off (13%)

Apple's iPad mini 6th Gen has just received a discount that's good enough to bring it back under the spotlight. The model is now on sale with a huge $100 discount in select 256GB variants with cellular connectivity, making it much easier to recommend.

I know that the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is Apple's newer and much more capable mini-sized model. Despite that, its previous generation is still a suitable choice for iOS fans who don't want to overspend on their next iPadOS device.

Thanks to its ultra-compact 8.3-inch display, this tablet is the perfect balance between portability and screen real estate. You can read e-books, watch movies while waiting for your flight, and more. You can even use it with one hand, by the way.

Under the hood, the 2021-released mini tablet packs an A15 Bionic chip. At launch, the model was the most powerful 8-inch tablet you could get. But in 2026, the model probably won't handle heavy multitasking or extensive video editing. Still, it's more than good enough for daily tasks.

Ultimately, the iPad mini (6th Gen) remains worth considering when the price is right (like it is right now). It may not be Apple's newest or most powerful mini tablet, but since the A17 Pro model currently doesn't come at a lower price, this $100 price cut makes the older generation considerably more appealing. If you're intrigued, head over to Amazon and save while you still can.
