Best iPad mini deal: Apple's iPad mini drops to $499.99 on Prime Day

SAVE $99: As of June 25, the Apple iPad mini A17 Pro is on sale for $499.99 at Amazon. That's 17% off and $99 in savings. Prime Day is live, and one of Apple's more portable devices is getting a decent price cut. The iPad mini A17 Pro is down to $499.99, which knocks $99 off its normal $599 price. The iPad mini is basically the full iPad experience shrunk down into something you can use one-handed. It runs on Apple’s A17 Pro chip, the same one powering Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro lineup, so it handles everyday apps, multitasking, and even heavier tasks like photo and video editing without slowing down. Apple Intelligence features are also built in, mainly focused on writing help, summaries, and smart suggestions that run directly on the device for faster responses and better privacy. The 8.3-inch display is sharp and color-accurate, with a smoother feel when scrolling or drawing. It’s small enough to fit in a bag easily, but still big enough that you’re not squinting at it for videos, reading, or work tasks. Grab the Apple iPad mini A17 Pro on Amazon before this deal does its disappearing act. Apple AirPods Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Heart Rate Wireless Earbuds — $199.00 (List Price $249.00)
