    iPad mini iPad mini 7 price...

    I can't get round myself with the mini(s) price(s). It's way smaller than the Air, and yet it's only $100 cheaper, coming at a hefty $500. If there was an up-to-date iPad lineup, the price increase should be proportioned, this way: iPad Mini, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro. I really never understood...
