Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
One thing worth...

That awesome $100 iPad Air gift card offer from Target is for the Doorbuster special. No rain checks, quantities limited. I read that as "good luck getting one".
The target gift card of $75 with the purchase of any iPad mini, seems kinda vague and not specific to model. Might get away with that.
"Any iPad mini" refers to any configuration of the old model. If Target truly meant "any" iPad mini, they would've specified the retina version in the box below BUT THERE IS NOTHING. AND seeing how the iPad mini retina wasn't released NOR had a release date during the time these ads were created and printed, I can guarantee you there will be no sales on the iPad mini retina. In fact, they probably won't even be in stock during Thanksgiving.
