The iPad Mini with 256GB of storage is $50 off

Apple’s iPad Mini from 2021 has been difficult to find in stock at times recently, but that hasn’t stopped the model with expanded storage from going on a nice discount. You can pick up an iPad Mini with 256GB of storage for $599 at Walmart in space gray. This Wi-Fi configuration of the latest Mini normally costs $649 with that much storage, but this $50 discount helps make it more affordable. The iPad Mini features a larger 8.3-inch screen than prior models, and a refreshed, flat-sided design with USB-C, and Apple Pencil 2 compatibility for magnetic charging, like the iPad Pro.

Apple’s revamped iPad Mini ditches the home button and opts for a larger, edge-to-edge display that’s reminiscent of last year’s iPad Air. It also comes outfitted with a faster processor, support for USB-C, and a top-mounted power button that moonlights as a Touch ID sensor.

Wireless audio company Tribit recently announced the follow-up to its StormBox Micro Bluetooth speaker, and it’s already seeing a 10 percent discount direct from Tribit for $53.99.

These little speakers output big sound, and you can attach them to your backpack strap or bicycle handlebars with its built-in rubber strap. It’s made to be secure enough to take to the streets or the great outdoors with confidence that it stays put, and its IP67 rating ensures that it can keep on providing your own personal soundtrack even if the weather turns on you.

For a more intimate audio experience, or at least as intimate as barking commands at your friends in Destiny 2 gets, the Logitech G435 Lightspeed wireless gaming headset is down to $59.99 at Amazon and Walmart. This $20 discount is around its historical low price, and it includes a few color options ranging from a stealthy black and a vibrant blue/red to a unique two-tone white and light blue.

The G435 is hard to beat when it comes to a value proposition in the wireless gaming headset space. It’s The Verge’s pick for best multiplatform wireless gaming headset, thanks to its combination of Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, and its compatibility with PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It sadly lacks Xbox support, but if you use any combination of the other platforms, you simply cannot go wrong for just about 60 bucks.
