My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: iPad Mini
The 6th generation iPad Mini has been around since 2021, it's not yet on the list of Apple products no longer getting software updates, so it's still a solid buy. If you missed the Prime Day deal on the iPad Mini, the 64GB wifi-only model is back down to $379.99 (originally $499), matching its price on Prime Day.

The iPad Mini seemed like it would be one of the iPads to receive a new model this year, but those honors went to the iPad and iPad Air, both of which are also discounted right now. Regardless of being three years old already, it is a capable mini tablet even in 2024. It has the A15 Bionic chip, a fast processor a generation ahead of the 10th-generation iPad's A14 Bionic chip. The battery life is also competitive, with an average of about seven hours depending on your use, according to PCMag's review. The 8.3-inch screen is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and has a resolution of 2,226 by 1,448 pixels.
If you still have a second-generation Apple Pencil around, you can use it for this iPad.

Despite being on the market since 2021, the 6th generation iPad Mini continues to offer excellent value for money, thanks to its advanced features like the A15 Bionic chip and a competitive battery life.
