Daily Updated BEST iPad Mini DEALS and iPad Mini 3 vs Mini 2 Comparison Published

To say that competition among tablet computer manufacturers is fierce, is an understatement. Thanks to this ever increasing competition, even high-end iOS tablets like the latest Apple iPad Mini 3 with Retina Display has been spotted with considerable discounts, just weeks after its launch.

The Daily Summary of BEST iPad Mini Sales which compares current iPad Mini deals from different retailers, is a must read for consumers looking for discounts on Apple tablets.

Generally, when a newer model is released, it’s the older model that goes on sale. But this year, even the October 2014 released Apple iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 have already received price cuts at certain retailers. The iPad Mini 2 deals have been particularly steep with discounts of over $130.

During the last few years, leading tablet computer manufacturers like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung released a newer model every year. Generally, the newer model has a ton of new features making it more attractive than the older model. In contrast, the new iPad Mini with Retina Display (aka iPad Mini 3) has only a couple of significant upgrades compared to last year’s iPad Mini 2. They are (1) the fingerprint touch sensor and (2) availability in Champagne Gold. The 2013 Mini doesn’t have a fingerprint identity sensor and is only available in space gray and silver. However, the latter costs $100 less, and as a result, is bound to be more popular among iPad shoppers this holiday season.

As far as major hardware specs are concerned, the two models are identical: (1) retina display: 2048 X 1536 resolution at 326 pixels per inch, (2) dimensions: 7.87 inches tall, 5.3 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, (3) weight: 0.73 pounds (331g) for the Wi Fi only model and 0.75 pounds (341g) for the Wi Fi + 4G cellular model, (4) processor: A7 chip with 64 bit architecture and M7 motion coprocessor, (5) front camera: 1.2MP photos and 720p HD video, (6) iSight camera: 5MP still photos and 1080p HD videos, (7) Bluetooth 4.0 technology, and (8) 9-10 hours of battery life. Considering these similarities, most professional iPad reviewers are of the opinion that the 2014 model is not worth the extra $100.

The up to $158 off iPad Air DEALS on this page are bound to be useful for iPad enthusiasts looking to grab a 9.7 inch, full-sized Apple iPad this holiday season.

Unlike with the iPad Mini 2 and 3 where the differences between the two models are minimal, there are quite a few notable differences between the newest iPad Air 2 and the 1st generation Air. The major differences lie in the (1) operating system: iOS 8 vs iOS 7, (2) weight: Air 2 is 32 grams lighter, (3) thickness: 18% thinner, (4) iSight camera: 8MP vs 5 MP photos, (5) CPU: Apple A8X is 40% faster than the A7, (6) availability in Champagne Gold, (7) the touch ID sensor: similar to the one on the new iPhone, and (8) the price: $100 more expensive.

“Right now we show you iPad Mini 2 sales that will save you as much as $133 compared to a Mini 3. It could get even better as we go in to the December holiday season. Given that the differences between the two models are minimal and negligible from a technical point-of-view, we recommend the older Mini 2 over the newer Mini 3 any day. Keep an eye on our iPad Mini 2 Sales page to save big this Black Friday and Cyber Monday” says Casey Donalds, a co-author of the above sales pages. “However, we can’t say the same about iPad Air Sales. Although you may be able to save over $160 by opting for a first generation iPad Air, we can totally understand if you can’t resist the better specs on the 2014 model” adds Donalds.
