If you want a small and portable tablet, today's price drop on Apple's iPad mini is well worth a look. Over at Amazon, you can snag the diminutive tablet with $64 off, dropping it back down to its best-ever price there.
The deal applies to the base-spec space gray and silver models with a 64GB capacity. At $334.99, these models have never gone lower at Amazon and we've only ever tracked one deal that beats this. That was a limited one-day sale during Cyber Monday. Considering how rare iPad mini deals are, this is probably one of the best iPad deals you'll find at this time of year.
The iPad mini was released in 2019 and retains the familiar 7.9-inch form factor from its 2015 predecessor but gains the A12 Bionic chip for a huge performance boost — three times the processing performance and nine times faster graphics, according to Apple. The display is 25% brighter, has True Tone and P3 wide color support, too.
For the first time, the mini line has also gained support for Apple Pencil (or, if you want to save a bit more, you could go for the cheaper Logitech Crayon.
