Amazon's Big Deal Days promotion kicks off tomorrow as the retailer looks to bring summer Prime Day discounts to October. But, with Black Friday just a month away, you may be wondering if now is actually the time to buy. Well, if you're in the market for one of the best iPads, then Amazon has some current deals that are cheaper than last year's Black Friday lowest price.

My favorite deal of the bunch is the iPad mini 6, which you can currently pick up for $379 at Amazon right now. Last Black Friday, this portable powerhouse was discounted to $399 — so it's already $20 cheaper. Now, it's been highly tipped Apple could reveal the iPad mini 7 later this month, but that doesn't mean the 2021 iPad is a bad buy right now. Especially at this lower price.

And don't worry; we'll be keeping a close eye on all the Prime Day deals as they happen this week — including other discounts on Apple gear. For example, you can already get the AirPods Max (Lightning) at their lowest ever price right now.

The Editor's Choice 2021 iPad mini features a thin-bezel design, an 8.3.inch Liquid Retina display, A15 Bionic CPU, 12MP wide camera, and USB-C connectivity. It also works with the Apple Pencil 2. In our iPad mini 6 review, we called it a perfect fit for anyone looking for a one-handed tablet experience. It's likely to get superseded by the iPad mini 7 any day now, but this is still an excellent device for reading books or watching movies.
