Apple's small-scale tablet is surprisingly expensive given its size but it's still a powerful little device. The good news is that small discounts are regularly available at most retailers. We've gathered up all of today's best iPad mini deals so you can pay the lowest price possible.
To put the current offers in perspective, the starting price of the most recent iPad mini is $499 / £499 / AU$799. That's actually slightly less than the starting price of the previous generation version – and I've already seen it discounted a handful of times in multiple regions.
Follow our Christmas sales hub in the US and Boxing Day sales hub in the UK for even more offers over the coming weeks.
You could also save more if you're eligible for the Apple student discount or by using one of the latest Apple promo codes.
In terms of specs, this latest iPad mini sports an 8.3-inch screen, 12MP front and back cameras, and the new A17 Pro chip that gives the tablet a massive performance upgrade. Effectively, it's more in line with what you would expect from an iPad Air, albeit in a much smaller form factor.
Of course, you can check out our guide to all the other tablet deals out there on cheaper and small slates if you need something for more basic or lighter use. However, with Apple's excellent OS and Retina display on this tablet, it's certainly in its own class.
So, here are all the best iPad Mini prices available right now. Check out our best iPad guide for a comparison of all Apple devices or our more comprehensive iPad deals page for the cheapest prices available today on all models.
When are the best iPad Mini deals available?
There are usually a handful of iPad Mini deals available at any one time throughout the year. These tend to be small, though, with anywhere between $50 - $100 / £30 - £80 off the standard price of the tablet.
However, there are regularly more significant discounts during bigger sales periods. With that in mind, you'll want to keep an eye out for savings during these major events such as Amazon Prime Day, September's back-to-school sales, Black Friday in November and Cyber Monday in December.
