Walmart drops a killer deal on the Apple iPad Mini 4 tablet

Android may dominate the smartphone field, but when it comes to tablets, the iPad is still the king. Snappy hardware, beautiful displays, unrivaled build quality, sleek interfaces, and cutting-edge features have kept Apple’s tablets at the top, and the Cupertino, California-based company offers something for just about every user (and every budget), from the premium iPad Pro to the purse-friendly iPad Mini. And it just so happens that the iPad Mini 4 is getting substantial price cut at Walmart right now.

Unfortunately, the iPad Mini might be the least appreciated member of Apple’s tablet family. Until the new Mini was released earlier this year, rumors were floating around that Apple was soon going to discontinue this tiny 7.9-inch tablet altogether, which would make the iPad Mini 4 the final model. That thankfully proved not to be the case, and with the release of the new Mini, now’s the perfect chance to score a deal on the last-gen iPad Mini 4 before it’s gone for good.

The iPad Mini 4 was the 2015 refresh of Apple’s most portable tablet. Although it might be a little dated compared to the new Mini, Apple hardware ages pretty well and the fourth-gen model is still a fine pick – especially at this price. The fifth-generation Mini also didn’t change a lot over the iPad Mini 4, so the upgrade might not be worth it for many users who are just looking to get a solid and highly portable iOS tablet without paying too much.

Apple tablets have always led the way when it comes to display technology, and the iPad Mini 4 is no exception: Its compact yet durable all-metal body features a 7.9-inch Retina touchscreen with a crisp resolution of 2,048 x 1,536. It runs on a dual-core Apple A8 chipset with a quad-core GPU, and this model comes with a 128GB SSD, a nice storage bonus over the standard 64GB variant.

The iPad Mini 4 currently goes for $400, which is already pretty good for a piece of Apple hardware, but a $100 discount brings it down to just $300 on Walmart right now. That’s cheaper than the standard iPad and is a little bit more than the $280 sale price we saw for it last Black Friday, so it’s a solid deal if you’re looking to get your mitts on a handy little Apple tablet that’s small enough to carry by your side all day long.

We’ve also found iPad deals, Apple Watch deals, iPhone deals, and Macbook deals. And if you like savings, it’s never too early to start thinking about Prime Day 2020.

Apple may announce new iPads next month. Here’s everything we expect
The yellow iPad (2022) lying face-down on a green bush.

When it comes to Apple, we expect a new product refresh annually at this point, including for the iPad. However, that didn't happen in 2023. In fact, 2023 was the first year that Apple didn't release a new iPad model at all, which means we haven’t had new iPad releases since 2022.

It’s unclear why we didn’t see any new iPads last year. However, that should also be an indicator that we can expect some big changes for the next generation of iPad models, which are rumored to come out this year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has even said that we could see new iPads as early as March.

iPhone Flip: what we know about Apple’s first foldable phone
Folding iPhone concept from iOS Beta News.

In the past few years, Samsung has become one of the leading manufacturers of foldable devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. Though it's not the only brand making foldable devices, it offers the most mainstream and available options, especially in the U.S. That leads to the question of whether Apple will follow suit with a foldable iPhone — or even an iPad.

There have been long-standing rumors that Apple could be working on such a device, including a foldable iPhone, which we'll call "iPhone Flip" for now. Apple's a secretive company, so there may very well be at least some research and development taking place on such a device. But, of course, this continues to just be all speculation for now. From the latest news, rumors, and reports, here's everything we know so far about Apple's folding iPhone.
