My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: IPad Mini
The 6th generation iPad Mini has been in production since 2021 and is not yet on Apple’s list of products that no longer receive software updates , so it’s still worth buying. If you missed the Prime Day deal on the iPad Mini, the 64GB model with Wi-Fi is back at $379.99 (originally $499), matching its Prime Day price.
It looked like the iPad Mini would be one of the iPads to get a new model this year , but that honor went to the iPad and iPad Air, both of which are also currently on sale . Even though it’s three years old, it’s still a capable mini-tablet even in 2024. It’s powered by the A15 Bionic chip, a fast processor that’s a generation ahead of the 10th-gen iPad’s A14 Bionic chip. According to PCMag’s review , battery life is also competitive, averaging around seven hours depending on usage. The 8.3-inch screen is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and has a resolution of 2226 by 1448 pixels.
If you still have the second generation Apple Pencil, you can use it for this iPad.
