With the iPad mini 7 about to be released (we think), I’ve been on the lookout for deals on the mini 6. We’ve only seen this price once, but it’s finally back again – you can pick it up for just $379.99 at Amazon. This saves you $120 on the 64GB model in any colour. FYI: The average it’s on sale for these days is $430, most often bouncing between $470 and $405 – with a brief spell recently at $389.

Our iPad mini 6 review explains why it’s such a surprisingly powerful creative tool. For one, the A15 bionic chip beats out the 9th and 10th generation full size iPad so it can handle a lot of creative tasks including light video editing and digital art. The screen is gorgeous, with full lamination and true tone, plus it has Apple Pencil 2 compatibility. And it’s comfortable to hold for long periods of time thanks to the compact size. Compare it to the other iPad generations here.

Overview: The Apple iPad min 6th gen was released in late 2021. The small form is ideal for on-the-go streaming, browsing, sketching and note-taking, as well as creative tasks like photo or light video editing. And it has support for the Apple Pencil 2 so it is amazing for digital artists.

Reviews: We gave the iPad mini 6 an almost perfect review with 4 and a half stars. We loved the sharp screen and how flexible it is. The only cons were the lack of pro motion screen and 3.5mm jack.
