Earlier this week, I drew attention to Amazon’s ongoing post-Black Friday deal on the iPad mini (2021), which sees Apple’s latest pint-sized tablet discounted to $469 in the US and £531 in the UK (from $499 and £569, respectively). I caveated that piece, however, with a note about the potentially imminent arrival of a new iPad mini model in March 2024.
Now, though, we’re hearing (via Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman) that Apple’s upcoming crop of next-generation iPads won’t include a new iPad mini, with Apple instead set to refresh its tablet lineup with an M3-equipped iPad Pro and iPad Air. Why does this matter? Well, for prospective iPad mini buyers, the potential benefits of this news are two-fold.
