90 days return and not having to deal with Walmart?

Or the 6 mini MAY NOT be coming. Even if it does, that's more $ to dispose which guarantee no Slickdeals for months to come.

Bottom line: Delay gratification often not worth it

Having owned a prior gen ipad mini 2 and a ipad air 2 I just personally found that the weight and portability was much better for my usecase of couch browsing and facetime.

Double the manufacturer warranty is one. If Apple gives you 1 year Costco gives you 2.

Mini 5 has been discounted this low on/off for past 9-10 months. At this point, I'd highly recommend waiting to see what Apple releases in 3 wks at their usual Sept press conference, or possibly in 7 wks in an Oct press release. If you need it right away for school, then so be it, but you're buying a tablet that will be outdated much sooner with a much older A12 processor from 2018.
The rumor is Mini 6 will be 8.3" with its first redesign ever, similar to the Air 4 with USB-C port and Touch ID on the power button (which allows for the bigger screen due to smaller bezels in same footprint) and A14 or A15 processor.

For 1 the 10.2 has a non laminated display, slightly cheaper build quality and a camera that's a lil worse plus it's half the storage. 32GB is gone once you load a few apps, especially since iPad apps are a lil larger file size then iPhone equivalent.

That's great! Have you dealt with it personally? Just curious because it says here [costco.com]:
Quote :
Which products have the extended warranty up to 2 years?
Costco extends the manufacturer's warranty up to 2 years from the date of purchase.
The 2nd year warranty is offered on the following items:
Televisions
Projectors
Computers*
Major Appliances†
Water Heaters
*Excluding Touchscreen Tablets.
Hopefully this is outdated or I'm misinterpreting it (e.g. ipad isn't a computer, etc)

Higher storage capacity, better display (laminated, antireflective and higher PPI), True Tone, better front facing camera (7MP on the Mini 5 vs 1.2MP for the iPad 8th gen), more comfortable form factor.

For anyone who is on the edge about this and has never owned a an iPad Mini, just get it. I absolutely love this form factor, and if you plan on primarily using your iPad as a handheld device it makes full sized iPads seem cumbersome and heavy. IF a new Mini comes out in the fall it'll be awhile before it can be purchased at a significant discount, and you can enjoy this awesome device in the meantime and sell at a minimal loss when you're ready to upgrade (or return it if you hate it, but you won't).

Yes, just online chatting with Best Buy. Asked for my order number and processed a refund for the price difference.

Just got this price matched through Target. With Redcard, total comes in at $284.99. Great deal at this price point.

Mini form factor has a big fanbase who have been waiting for a long time for a redesign in the same size.

Amazon and Walmart. It was posted on here as well.
Yeah I just checked again on slick deals, The last time it was posted at 400 for the cellular was November of last year, (The Wi-Fi model was also at the 300 price at that time last year) I haven't seen any bouncing of prices down to that level.
