Hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere here but Staples is having a sale on the ipad mini 4 128g ($299) this week.. Sale ends on 8/19. Only space gray is left but for $100 off who cares. it looks like other models are on sale too but only $40 or $50 off.
Thanks to my sister for starting her Christmas shopping today and letting me know about the sale since she knew I was looking to replace my mini 2 32g. My order confirmation says mine will be arriving next Thursday.
