The 256GB iPad mini is $120 off and down to a record-low price

Apple’s newest iPad mini is on sale for $120 off. You can get the 256GB version of the 6th-generation iPad mini (2021) for $529 on Amazon — a record low. If that’s more storage than you need, you can also get the 64GB model (usually $500) is $100 off.

Apple refreshed the iPad mini in 2021 with an “all-screen” Liquid Retina design, ditching the Home button and aligning the mini-tablet with the larger iPad Air’s modern design language. The iPad mini has an 8.3-inch display that supports TrueTone and covers the P3 color gamut. It has a 2266 x 1488 resolution (326 ppi).

This model runs on the A15 Bionic chip, also found in the iPhone 13 series. This tablet eschews Face ID for a Touch ID sensor on its power and sleep button. The iPad mini has a USB-C port for versatile charging and data transfers, and it works with the second-generation Apple Pencil for scribbling notes or digital sketching. Apple estimates up to 10 hours of battery life, which can vary depending on how you use it.

Apple will reportedly update its entire iPad lineup this year, and the latest rumors point to a possible late 2024 launch for a new iPad mini. If those reported plans pan out, this model may only be the newest for another six to eight months.

If you want a full-sized tablet, Walmart has the 5th-generation (10.9-inch) iPad Air for $120 off, too. You’ll pay only $449 for the 64GB variant. This model runs on an M1 chip with a 2360 x 1640 resolution (264 ppi) and an estimated 10 hours of battery life.

Some Apple Vision Pro units reportedly developed a similar hairline crack on the front glass

Picture the scene: you’ve had an enjoyable day of playing around in mixed reality using Apple’s Vision Pro headset. Once you’re done for the night, you carefully pack the Vision Pro away while leaving the battery pack connected and soft front cover attached. But when you wake up to begin a new day of work while wearing the $3,500 headset, you spot a problem: a hairline crack has formed on the front cover glass.

That’s a problem that at least a few users have encountered, according to a handful of reports on Reddit. It’s unclear how many units have been affected, though MacRumors suggests it’s a small number. The issue occurred on Engadget’s review unit as well. 

The cause of the problem is not yet known. But the similar appearance of the cracks and apparently small number of impacted units suggests that it’s down to a manufacturing flaw. Engadget has contacted Apple for comment.

If Apple doesn’t officially recognize the issue as a manufacturing defect, it may not cover the crack under the device’s warranty. That’s reportedly been the case for some of the affected users. As such, they’re been put on the hook for $300 to repair the cover glass if they have AppleCare coverage. Otherwise, the cost is a stinging $800.

As MacRumors notes, Apple often offers special repair programs for recognized hardware issues, but that’s only likely to happen if there are enough reports to warrant the company fully investigating the matter and identifying a common problem. Still, this gives more credence to the maxim that maybe you shouldn’t buy a first-generation Apple product.

This isn’t the first time an Apple device has been susceptible to scratches in its first generation. Many users of the first iPod nano found that it scratched very easily. A lawsuit ensued, and Apple agreed to pay a $22.5 million settlement.

A four-pack of AirTags is $20 off right now

Bluetooth trackers are handy little devices that can help you find things you’ve misplaced. If you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem (or at least have an iPhone), AirTags are perhaps your best choice. If you’ve been meaning to pick some up, there’s some good news for you as a four-pack of AirTags is on sale. The pack has dropped by $20 to $79. That’s close to the lowest price we’ve seen for them, so it’s a solid deal.

It’s easy to set up an AirTag with your iPhone or iPad as it’s a one-tap process. Once you’ve done that and attached an AirTag to an item, you’ll be able to keep track of that alongside your family and friends in the Mind My app. AirTags don’t store location data or history and their communications with the Find My network are encrypted and anonymous, Apple says.

You can play a sound on the AirTag’s built-in speaker to help you find a misplaced item (useful for, say, a remote that’s fallen down the side of a couch), and you can ask Siri for help finding your things. If you have a recent iPhone (11 or later), you’ll be able to make use of a second-gen Ultra Wideband chip that powers precision finding — this will give you pinpoint directions to your AirTag once you’re within range.

If you’ve lost an item away from home, you can put its accompanying AirTag into Lost Mode. This means you’ll be notified whenever it pops up in the Find My network. In other words, when it is picked up by one of the hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network. The AirTag is a rugged little thing (it’s IP67 water and dust resistant and the replaceable battery lasts over a year), which should give you some time to find your missing item.

To make sure it’s securely fastened to your item, you might want to pick up some AirTag accessories. These enable you to attach an AirTag to various fabrics, keys or anything with a strap. There are also cases with adhesive mounts, meaning you can stick an AirTag to just about anything.
