To be fair there is a huge gap between the 12 and the mini mainly because of the mini not selling well and Apple overproducing it earlier in the year. Most probably the 13 mini will not fall in the same ballpark next year and will be closer to the 13 in price.If you are on fence about buying the iPad, the iPad Air at 42900 + bank offers is a great deal if it is still available.
I feel next year if FK or someone else will be having similar priced on 13 mini, I will buy the fk plus membership just to ensure I get the device. You got from FK or some other place?
Also FK plus has always been the same every year with the lowest cost only in the first couple of hours for Plus members, but even then the price usually doesn't increase more than 1k, though stock is always an issue.
