The latest Apple iPad Mini is on sale via Amazon, bringing the 128GB model
down to a record-low price. Each Wi-Fi-only model has been discounted by
$100, so the 128GB version is $399, the 256GB tablet is $499 and the beefy
512GB model is $699. This deal applies to multiple colorways.

This is one of the best Apple tablets, and the only choice for those looking
for a compact iPad. It's the company's most powerful tablet in this size, as
the A17 Pro chip is plenty capable. An M-series chip would have been nice,
but it's not in the cards just yet. Having said that, this is still a full-
featured iPad that can hang with its larger cousins.

It offers support for the Apple Pencil Pro, which is handy, and the 12-
megapixel camera on the rear takes decent shots, even in low light. The
camera is also a decent choice for scanning documents and QR codes, as noted
in our official review. The speakers sound much better than one would expect,
though this has become the norm with recent Apple products.

The display looks nice, but it is just a standard LCD with a 60Hz refresh
rate. Apple tends to reserve its best screen technology for the higher-end
tablets. There's no Face ID here, but that's not a deal breaker for me, as I
actually prefer Touch ID or just quickly typing in a four digit security
code.
