SAVE $15: As of Oct.17, the 2024 Apple iPad mini is available to pre-order for $484 at Walmart. That's a saving of $15 on list price. Preorders for the new iPad mini have only just been released, and we've already got a price drop. You can pre-order the Apple iPad mini 7 for $484 at Walmart, saving $15 on list price.

We marked October 22 on the calendar and canceled our appointments. We were almost certain that Apple would hold its second fall keynote on that day and unveil new Macs and iPads. But then, just when we were expecting an invitation, Cupertino sent us instead a press release with details of the 7th-gen iPad mini… and nothing else.

The timing of the new release has taken many by surprise. Apple’s smallest iPad has a faster processor, more storage and support for Apple Intelligence.
