"If your phone feels too small but most tablets feel too big, Apple's latest iPad Mini functions as a nice in-between. Thankfully, if you've been waiting for a discount, the base model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $399 ($100 off), which is $50 shy of its best price to date and the cheapest it's been since the holidays."
"At 8.3 inches, the iPad Mini is Apple's most portable tablet. It's only slightly heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which makes it especially comfortable to hold for long periods, particularly if you're someone who likes to read a lot. It also runs on Apple's A17 Pro chip, which, while older, is still snappy enough to use the newer multitasking system in iPadOS 26 to keep multiple apps open while researching or taking notes."
The 8.3-inch iPad Mini base Wi‑Fi model with 128GB is discounted to $399 at Amazon and Best Buy, with the 256GB model starting at $499. The Mini is highly portable and only slightly heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, making it comfortable for extended reading and one-handed use. It runs on the A17 Pro chip, which supports iPadOS 26 multitasking and keeps multiple apps open for research and note-taking. Performance suits light gaming, streaming, video calls, and modest image editing. The camera placement is dated, but the Mini supports Apple Pencil Pro and access to Apple Intelligence features.
