The 256GB iPad mini 6 falls to its lowest price ever of $539.99

Save $109.01: Upgrade to an ultra-portable tablet that packs a lot of power. The iPad mini 256GB tablet is now only $539.99 as of May 3 after a 17% price cut. This follows a recent discount of $99.01 for the entry-level 64GB iPad mini.

Apple has a little reputation for being a little pricey, but you don't always have to wait long for decent price cuts on some of their top products. We recently saw the lowest prices yet on the 64GB iPad mini from 2021, and now you get a very nice offer if you prefer a little more storage.

Amazon now offers the 2021 iPad mini 256GB WiFi model for just $539.99 after a $109.01 discount. This is the lowest price we've seen so far for a tablet that was just released last fall. It beats out Best Buy's price by $10, although at the moment you can only pick up the space gray and starlight colors at this lower price from Amazon.

The 2021 iPad mini is the perfect tablet if you value portability most of all. With an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, it slips in just about any bag you own and fits right in the palm of your hand. It's powered by the A15 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, providing enough performance for intensive processing whether editing photos and videos or playing games. And almost 10 hours of battery life is plenty of time to take care of most tasks throughout the day before it needs a rechage.

You also get a 12MP Wide back camera for high-quality photos, 4K videos, or scanning documents. It also boasts a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, which adjusts the camera during FaceTime or other video apps that always knows to keep you in the frame during important calls. The iPad mini also utilizes Touch ID to unlock it or for Apple Pay. And the use of WiFi 6 ensures the fastest possible connection at any time.

The iPad mini offers a lot of power in a small package, and now it offers it at a much more reasonable price of $539.99 during this latest price cut.
