Although we're not expecting Apple to show off any new iPads at the September 7 event, there's a good chance there are upgrades and new devices coming later this fall. And just the mere thought has provided us with a solid discount on existing devices.

As of September 7, you can snag the newest Apple iPad mini (6th generation) starting at just $399.99 at Amazon. That's $99.01 off its $499 MSRP. But the discount doesn't just apply to the base model (64GB, WiFi) — you can slash $99.01 off any configuration while this deal lasts.

If a small iPad is what you want, the 2021 iPad mini can't be beat. Mashable senior editor, Stan Schroeder, even claims, "The iPad mini is as close to perfection as an iPad can get. It's a smaller iPad Air that does nearly everything better."

Notable upgrades from the previous generation are a larger, better display (8.3 inches) in an even smaller package, a major camera improvement, a practical Touch ID addition, impressive stereo speakers, and second-generation Apple Pencil support. Sure, it's not as powerful as an iPad Pro, but like Schroeder said, "It's practical, pretty, and portable." And for everyday iPad users, that just about covers it.
