Amazon is running a promotion that discounts Apple’s iPad mini by $100 ahead of October Prime Day/Prime Big Deals Days. Mashable reports the Wi‑Fi model with A17 Pro and 128GB storage is listed at $499, down from a $599 list price (about 17% off). A similar deal is described as a “rare” discount, with outlets focusing on the limited availability of strong markdowns.
Other coverage adds more detail on the range of models included. Lifehacker says the A17 Pro iPad mini with 256GB storage and cellular connectivity is discounted to $749 from $849. The Verge also notes that both Wi‑Fi-only and cellular-connected versions are $100 off. It links the deal to the period just before Amazon’s October sales event and contrasts it with the lack of sustained discounts after Apple’s earlier price increases in June.
