If you want some accessories to go with your iPad mini 4, Target has also discounted two first party Apple accessories. There's the iPad mini 4 Smart Cover with discounts between 10 and 40 percent, and the iPad mini 4 Silicone Case with discounts between 10 and 50 percent. The savings depend on your choice of color, and some models do have shipping options. When paired together, the accessories provide full front and back protection to the iPad mini 4.

For those interested in the iPhone 8, Sprint has a $350 discount on Apple's latest iPhone, with a few stipulations. You'll have to trade in an eligible smartphone towards the new iPhone 8, as well as sign up for the Sprint Flex leasing program. If you do, Sprint will mark monthly installments down to $9.72/month for the 64GB model, with an initial payment of $0. The 256GB model requires $150 down but retains the $9.72/month price.

Goodbye iPad Mini
Yeah, there's probably a good chance the iPad mini 4 will be discontinued after the holidays, definitely by next summer. I really wish there would be a replacement, maybe with an A11, 3D Touch, FaceID, ARKit support, etc.

And apparently Target forgot to order iPad mini 4s they just put on sale...I checked 6 zip codes around the country and no store within 100 miles of those zip codes had any of the "so called" $100 off devices. It's easy to mark something way down when you have none to sell. Nice try Target.

Since they are limiting the sale to in store stock, this is more likely a "clearance sale" rather than a temporary discount.

Went in to my local Target and found that they ran out minutes before I got there. Proceeded over to Best Buy just up the road and they price matched Target no problem. $299.99 for a 128GB Mini 4 isn’t too bad. Be more compelling if it had the A9 like the 5th gen iPad though. But the 2GB RAM should keep it running alright for a while even if the CPU is rather dated.
