If you’ve been charmed by the Apple iPad mini, you should know that you can get the 128GB version of its latest model with a $100 discount from Best Buy. From the tablet’s original price of $499, it’s down to a more affordable $399, but probably for not much longer. Apple deals featuring new devices are rare, and when they appear, they usually get sold out quickly. That means time is running out for you to take advantage of this offer, so you need to hurry with your purchase!

Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini 2024

The Apple iPad mini 2024 received a very impressive score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review. We described the device as “a delightfully small and comfortable tablet with loads of power and performance,” and it has taken its rightful spot in our roundup of the best iPads. Its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display makes the tablet easy to handle and pocketable, and the screen is sharp and colorful for watching streaming shows, browsing social media, and playing mobile games. You can also use the Apple Pencil (USB-C) or Apple Pencil Pro with the Apple iPad mini 2024, for taking down notes and drawing sketches.

The A17 Pro chip powers the Apple iPad mini 2024, for excellent performance that will suit the needs for most people, and the tablet also offers great battery life for such a portable device. The Apple iPad mini 2024 is protected by Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint recognition system, and it’s equipped with a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera that supports Center Stage for video calls and a 12MP Wide back camera that’s capable of recording 4K video.

Apple fans searching for bargains from tablet deals should check out the Apple iPad mini 2024 on Best Buy. The device’s 128GB model is currently on sale for $399, for savings of $100 on its sticker price of $499. There’s no telling how much time is remaining on this discount, but we highly recommend that you act fast if you want to get the Apple iPad mini 2024 for a lower price than usual. Complete your transaction immediately, because once the offer is gone, we’re not sure when you’ll get another chance.

Amazon quietly upgrades its Fire HD 10 tablet with a whopping 1GB of RAM
Amazon really said, "Here's 1GB. You're welcome."
Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

Amazon has quietly refreshed one of its most popular tablets, but not in the way many expected. Instead of launching a brand-new Fire tablet after its longest product drought in years, the company has introduced a slightly upgraded version of the existing Fire HD 10 with an extra gigabyte of RAM.

The update is modest on paper, yet it arrives at an interesting time. Amazon hasn't introduced a new Fire tablet since the Fire HD 8 refresh in 2024, while products like the Fire 7 and Fire Max 11 have yet to receive successors. Rather than expanding its lineup, Amazon appears to be extending the life of an aging device with a minor hardware tweak.

Companion mode stays. Primary mode arrives. WhatsApp on iPad just became a lot more useful.
Computer, Electronics, Pc

If you’ve ever used WhatsApp on your iPad, you already know its limitations. You can’t set it up without a primary device, can’t share live location, and can't use the broadcast lists feature. 

That’s finally changing. WhatsApp’s latest update gives iPad users a long-due promotion. Rather than serving as an extension of your iPhone, it will soon become your main device.

Apple’s next iPad Pro may not look dramatically different, but it could get one upgrade that makes a lot of sense for an ultra-thin tablet. Better cooling.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models planned for spring 2027. The tablets are expected to keep the current 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes, while focusing mostly on internal improvements, including faster chips. Apple has also reportedly tested a vapor chamber cooling system for the iPad Pro, which could help improve sustained performance and reduce overheating.
