With the exception of initial discounts on announcement day from Expercom, Walmart's sales today represent the first notably steep cash discounts on the iPad mini 6. Free shipping is available, with delivery as soon as September 27.

Apple just revealed the iPad mini 6 earlier this week at its "California Streaming" event, two and a half years after launching the previous generation. The new model features a complete redesign with a larger display, no Home Button, Touch ID in the Power Button, the A15 Bionic chip, and a USB-C port to support USB-C accessories for the first time.

For god's sake ... this site has macrumors members and visitors from all over the world, why can't these and similar deal articles specifically state which country these deals are offered in? the contest articles specify this, why not deal articles? Also pricing should reflect $US dollars if posting such deals.

"Up to $50 off". The 256 Wifi model is $499 down from $549 ;)
On the 64GB model, it's obviously only down $40.

You can always add AppleCare on the device if you’re not able to get it working.
Yes you can, however Costco discounts that too ($54.99) and they don't have an option for purchasing that separately or later. So I would have probably have to go through Apple ($69.99).
