Since Apple isn’t supposed to release a new iPad anytime soon, now’s a great time to pick one up, especially when they’re this cheap: Amazon is selling the iPad Air with 64GB of storage for 500 $, and the iPad mini with 64GB of storage for $400 in a variety of colors, a savings of $99 and pennies off their all-time low prices.
Despite the difference in size, the iPad mini and iPad Air are very similar tablets. The mini has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and an A15 processor while the Air has a 10-9 inch display and an M1 processor, but otherwise they have the same design, 12MP front and 12MP rear cameras, 64GB of storage, Apple Pencil 2 support, USB-C, and Touch ID-enabled power button.
It comes down to a matter of preference: do you want something small enough to throw in a bag or a little bigger for watching movies? Either way, you’re getting a great tablet at a great price.
