If Apple 's latest little tablet is on your shopping list and you're looking for the best place to pick one up, I've gathered together where you can buy one right here, including some of the
best preorder deals and trade-in offers.

Announced earlier this week, the eighth-generation iPad mini is a much bigger upgrade than we expected . Headline new features include a sharper, brighter, and more vibrant 8.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR screen, a powerful A20 Pro chip, improved audio, and IP67 water and dust resistance thanks to the new aluminum design.

All those upgrades do come at a more considerable cost, though, as the iPad mini starts at $699 / 699 / AU$1,099 for the standard WiFi version with 128GB of storage. That's $200 / 200 / AU$300 more than the launch price of the previous iPad mini. There are also 256GB and 512GB versions available if you want more room for files and applications.

With that increase in price, it's more important than ever to find a good
deal if you want to preorder the new iPad Mini. Here are the best ones I've found so far from retailers, networks, and mobile operators and I'll
continue adding any new offers when I spot them. iPad mini preorders in the

Apple Store: from $699 or lease from $14.99 a month with Apple Upgrade The Apple Store is naturally one of the first places to check for new iPad Mini preorders. Without any special discounts, the tablet is simply available to buy from $699. However, if you have a device to trade in, you can get a discount of up to $915. You can also make use of the Apple Upgrade service to lease your iPad Mini from as little as $14.99 a month for 36 months. Read

Best Buy: from $399 with trade-in plus free Best Buy gift card Best Buy now has the new iPad Mini available for preorder, and as expected, it's got one
of the strongest offers from the big retailers. On top of a discount of up to $300 when you trade in an existing iPad, you also get a $50 Best Buy gift
card with your order. Not bad to put towards some accessories, or something from the retailer's upcoming Black Friday sale. Read more Read less View

B&H Photo: preorders live from $699 Specialist electronics retailer B&H
Photo has the new iPad mini ready to order before the tablets go out for shipping by November 8. I thought this could be a good place to shop, as
there have been small discounts of up to $50 on some models during previous iPad launches at this retailer. However, there's no sign of anything like
that right now, so full price it is. Read more Read less View Deal Also check... Amazon: preorders TBC Walmart: preorders TBC iPad mini preorders in the UK
