I love the iPad mini, and thanks to theBlack Friday dealsyou can now join me in this adulation as theiPad mini 6 has been cut to $399 by Amazon in the US– that’s a neat $100 sliced off its original price of $499. And that means it’s well worth snapping up before it sells out.
While plenty of thebest phonesnow sport large displays and thebest foldable phonesare like mini tablets, I still don’t think anything beats the iPad mini as a compact tablet that is slick and easy to use. As you can see in ouriPad mini 2021 reviewthe latest generation of mini iPad benefits from a refined design that lets it offer a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display.
While I’ve used several generations of iPad mini and loved them all, the 6th-generation model is particularly nice. It’s compact enough to pop into a coat pocket to be used as an ereader or note-taking device when on the move, yet its display is large enough to work well as a streaming and gaming device when away on trips. In fact, pair it with anApple Arcadesubscription and you’ve got a wonderful little games console – add inXbox Game Pass Ultimatecloud streaming and a wireless controller and you’ve got a neat game-streaming device too.
TheAmazon Black Friday dealsmay now be in full swing, but I suspect you’ll not find the iPad mini 6 much cheaper even on Black Friday itself, which takes place on November 24 this year. So I’d suggest that if you’re after what I feel is still one of thebest iPadsyou can buy right now, that you snap up this deal before Amazon runs out of stock.
