The latest iPad mini 7 was released in Oct. of 2024, bringing a smaller and more compact design with Apple Intelligence features to the already smallest iPad on the market. Today, the iPad Mini is nearly $100 off. You can get it for $399.99 (originally $499), $0.99 off the lowest price it has ever been, according to price-tracking tools .
The iPad mini 7 comes with the A17 Pro chip, the same chip found in the iPhone 15 Pro , and one A-series less than the iPhone 16 series uses. It’s only a year and a half old and will be supported by Apple for many more years. In comparison to the iPad mini 6 , it is 30% faster than the iPad mini 6’s A15 Bionic chip, but more importantly, it runs Apple Intelligence , including new AI features like notification summaries and AI-powered writing tools. You’ll also be able to use the new Apple Pencil Pro with it, have Wi-Fi 6E support, and it starts with 128GB of storage (twice what the iPad mini 6 base model offers).
True to its name, the mini 7 is Apple’s smallest tablet, measuring 7.7 by 5.3 by 0.3 inches and weighing 1.1 lbs. The screen is an 8.3-inch screen with a 2,226 by 1,448 pixels resolution. According to PCMag’s “excellent” review , you can expect to get about seven hours and 23 minutes of juice on a full charge. Other than Apple Intelligence and supporting the Pencil Pro, there is not much difference to warrant upgrading if you have the sixth generation iPad mini . But if you’re looking for a smaller iPad or just need to upgrade to a newer one that has the latest features, this new iPad mini is currently cheaper than the previous version and is a great deal for its price.
