It's not an ATL, but it's a discount and cheaper than the Apple Education store.
JB had dropped their price to $697 https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-ipad-mini-8-3-inch-… a few hours ago - so this must be in response to price beat them.

Rumours were saying early next year for a refresh?
I feel like Moore's law has slowed down significantly in the last 5-10 years that technology just… lasts a lot longer. Especially Apple stuff. Getting a current gen iPad mini with a significant discount is almost always going to be better than the next gen at full price - 10% TRS.
That said, ~100 off RRP just isnt enough, its only 14%.
True, not the best deal when they were down in the $620 range during Amazon sales last month - I'm going to grab one now (hence sharing the deal) as I've got a trip next month for that TRS refund. I will however wait to see if Airtag2 is available before I leave in order to buy them instead (if their price/features make sense).
Don't think so, they increased ram on this gen, so good for next 8 years according to apple
Hard to say, but looking back seems to be every 2-3 years, so the mini is a 'safer' bet, still good advice to wait and see I think.
This was release October last year, with the previous update in 2021. Seems very unlikely to be updated.
Clearance ?
new iPads coming in Oct for the holiday season after the iPhone event
What? Is it real
I thought we want things cheaper
Link?
True OzBargain crew bought the iPad Mini 5 today.
Only to had the order cancelled.
Mine worked out, luckily my local had a shipment of them but as always these coles deals are a gamble
Lucky you. Good score!
Frankly, for casual use - the newer models are not better than the mini 5 for a fraction of the price
The fact this costs more than the 10inch version is wild.
bigger is not always better
lol….That’s what the small ones ought to say
Get some real facts by looking at their specs
I paid $749 for an iPad mini 6 on 15/03/2023.
I have never regretted it.
What do you mainly use it for? Genuinely interested as I'm thinking of buying one.
Already have an old ipad air i'm thinking of handing over to someone but want to see what people that love it mostly use it for.In bed at night.
Travel.I am substantially in the IOS platform.
I use Folders, Numbers, Safari, Website development via Safari, Youtube, Email, Message, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Chess dot com, Some banking.i thought there isnt any whatsapp app for ipad?
@hibijibis: They finally released it a few months ago: https://blog.whatsapp.com/its-here-introducing-whatsapp-for-…
I find the iPad mini exists between your laptop and phone really nicely.
iPad mini doesn't get used as much as both but great for:
- Tram and train commutes
- Content consumption on flights
- Great to bring on weekend aways or travel when you want more than a phone but don't want to carry your whole laptop
- Also I enjoy using it at home around the house tooGreat device, in my opinion it really shines with cellular. Probably boosted my experience with it 50% when I got it with cellular.
Other larger iPads even the 11" are too big IMO for a tablet and I always found myself opting for a laptop instead.
@LemonShapedRock: do you buy another phone plan? I'm not sure whether i want to pay for another separate recurring fee just for ipad mini occasional use? or is there a way to share you phone plan with the mini?
Planning to buy it for reading manga and web surfing esp when on the toilet. iPad 13” is too big. The manga panel does not fit the screen. Best to go an Apple Store and try all the different iPad sizes.
paid under 700 for iPad mini 6 in late 2021 4 years still runs good.
A16 also dropped to $517. Was able to price beat with JB, use a perks coupon, and pay with Macquarie gift cards for $482 out of pocket. Not quite the ATL levels that have been posted here at times but pretty solid price.
I saw that, do you recall what ATL was?
It seems to drop to around the $480 mark relatively often (every couple of months), but think the outlier ATL is $449 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/914095)
Love my mini 7, and have had most even current 11" M4. Was $660 - gst = $600, and a free smart cover from apple $95.
Best case as keeps it light and thin.
Won't be a new one this year.
Get on it.I bought one from Apple online, tried to return it they just refunded it and said to keep it.
^ $579 after gst back, bargain.
Maybe OW 5% off $637?Nice
They wouldent price match for me over the phone.
I ended up getting JB to match it $637 via online chat.
price match with whom for 637?
2 weeks before apple event, I reckon they have to get rid of the old model…
