With only rumours to rely on that the iPad mini will be updated, we are always on the lookout for deals on the newest version (and we are usually disappointed). But this surprisingly powerful creative tool is currently at a brilliant price – almost a record-low of just $389 at Amazon. This saves you $110 on the 64GB model in any colour – and it’s only $10 off the lowest-ever price (which has only briefly been seen). FYI: The average it’s on sale for these days is $430, most often bouncing between $470 and $405.

We raved about the iPad mini 6 in our review – the A15 bionic chip is really zippy and beats out the 9th and 10th generation full size iPad. This means it can handle a lot of creative tasks including light video editing and digital art, it’s got an amazing screen with full lamination and true tone, it has Apple Pencil 2 compatibility, and it’s mega comfortable to hold for long periods of time thanks to the compact size. Compare it to the other iPad generations here.
