Top iPad mini Black Friday deals: Save up to $150 on a new iPad mini and accessories!
Mini iPad, huge Black Friday savings
The iPad mini finally got a refresh last month, after a years-long wait. You don't have to wait to save on a new iPad mini, though. The new model is already on sale for Black Friday, along with the iPad mini 6 and the Apple Pencil!
Right now Amazon is offering a $40 discount on the new iPad mini 7 for Black Friday. The new version features a major processor upgrade, double the base storage, compatibility with Apple Intelligence, and compatibility with the new Apple Pencil Pro.
If you don't need the latest upgrades and just want a compact iPad for entertainment, check out the iPad mini 6 for $150 off at Amazon! We gave this model a glowing Editor's Choice award and it's still a great buy at this sale price.
If you want to use your iPad for notetaking or drawing, remember to pick up a new Apple Pencil, too! All three of the main models are on sale right now, including the new Apple Pencil Pro.

The Apple Pencil USB-C gets all the basics right and comes at an affordable price. This no-frills Pencil features tilt sensitivity and magnetically attaches to your iPad. It charges with USB-C, but the port is cleverly hidden. This is also the most widely-compatible Apple Pencil you can buy.
Works with: iPad mini 7, iPad mini 7, iPad Pro (M4, M2, M1, A12Z, A12X), iPad Air (M2, M1, A12), iPad 10

Works with: iPad mini 6, iPad Pro (M2, M1, A12Z, A12X), iPad Air (M1, A12)
