2 Reasons to Pre-Order the iPad Mini 5 & 4 Reasons to Wait

Wait for iPad mini 5 Deals

The first iPad mini 5 deals will likely be limited to trade-ins with straight price cuts coming a little bit later on. 

It usually takes retailers a few weeks to start offering deals on new Apple products so you'll probably have to wait until April, May or later for the first batch of iPad mini 5 price drops. 

The biggest price cuts will likely arrive in and around Black Friday and during the holiday shopping season.

If you don't have a tablet to trade-in and/or don't want to pay full price for a new iPad mini 5, you'll have to skip a pre-order and wait a few weeks/months to buy one.
