Rare Amazon deal slashes $110 off Apple's compact iPad mini (A17 Pro) powerhouse in one colorway
Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, Apple A17 Pro Processor, 8.3-Inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2266 x 1488 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear Camera, 12MP Ultra-Wide Front Camera with Center Stage, Side-mounted Fingerprint Sensor, USB Type-C Port, All-Day Battery Life, Apple Intelligence Support, Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity, Purple This offer is not available in your area.
Of course, that should make you jump at this extraordinary money-saving opportunity while you can rather than delay your buying decision until Amazon inevitably runs out of inventory or bumps the price back up closer to the regular $599 mark. If you miss your chance to minimize (pun intended) your spending, don't worry, as many other iPad mini (2024) models are currently marked down by $100 from their normal prices and likely to stay that way for a while. Granted, a $100 discount is not as cool as $110, but it's obviously close enough. Evidently powered by an Apple A17 Pro processor, the latest and greatest iPad mini generation is probably the best tablet... with an easily manageable body around. Not only is this thing extremely light, tipping the scales at 293 grams, but that 6.3mm waist almost makes it worthy of an Air moniker. In fact, that's just 0.2mm over the 6.1mm profiles of the 11 and 13-inch iPad Airs released earlier this year with Apple M3 power in tow. Our comprehensive iPad mini (A17 Pro) review from a little while ago should help seal the deal for even more undecided buyers, highlighting a few other key strengths like a beautiful Liquid Retina IPS LCD screen, decent battery life (especially for that size), reliable fingerprint scanning, and powerful sound.
There are naturally a few weaknesses and inconveniences to consider as well, including the outdated 60Hz refresh rate support of that otherwise great display and the lack of an official keyboard accessory, but all in all, you're definitely looking at an unrivaled value proposition... for hardcore fans of compact tablets at least.

The company has so far made no official comment regarding its presumed revised discount strategy. That might be because the company itself may be undecided and doesn't want to announce anything until it has decided what course of action it customer says that something similar happened with them last year, and they were able to get their previous discount restored by complaining incessantly to. They still ended up leaving as the experience left a bitter taste in their it's totally up toto decide whether or not it wants to offer discounts, it should be transparent about its decisions, especially those that involve lowering discounts and making it look like the customer agreed to company is seemingly also planning to introduce a new monthly fee that wasn't previously there for some been paying for its unpopular decisions by losing customers, but the company doesn't seem to care about letting go of users finicky about price.

Court rules that the FCC lawfully fined T-Mobile over improper use of location data
Last Friday, the U.S. District Court of Appeals made its ruling, and it decided in favor of the FCC. In other words, the court said that the regulatory agency followed the law by fining both T-Mobile and Sprint for selling their location data to the middlemen who passed it to third-party service providers. The carriers were blamed by U.S. District Court Judge Florence Pan for failing to uphold their responsibilities to protect their customers by preventing misuse of location information by third parties. The judge said that Sprint and T-Mobile did not take prompt action to protect the location data, even after they both became aware that this information was being abused. In her decision, Judge Pan wrote that T-Mobile and Sprint do not deny the facts of the case but believe that there was no violation of the law. The carriers argued that the FCC misinterpreted the Communications Act, calculated the fines incorrectly, and did not allow them to have a jury trial, thus violating their Seventh Amendment rights. The judge wrote that the carriers' arguments "lack merit" resulting in the court's decision to side with the FCC. -Eric Null, co-director of the Privacy and Data Project at the Center for Democracy and Technology T-Mobile responded to the ruling by releasing a statement that said, "We discontinued our location-based services program more than six years ago. We are currently reviewing the court's action and don't have anything new to add at this time." On the other hand, those advocating for consumer privacy were very happy with the ruling. Eric Null, co-director of the Privacy and Data Project at the Center for Democracy and Technology, told Fierce Wireless , "The DC Circuit's welcome decision rejects Sprint and T-Mobile 's arguments that they should not be held accountable for their willingness to sell off customers' location data to the highest bidder and violate the law."
