We are expecting Apple to start sending out invites for their iPad Mini launch event tomorrow, and the event is rumored to take place next Wednesday, the 17th of October.
We have seen a number of different photos of what are reported to be the new iPad Mini, and now some new ones have been posted online by @SonnyDickson. These ones look to be the most convincing to date and could possibly be photos of Apple’s new iPad Mini.
As you can see from the photos, the iPad Mini features a smaller display and size than the existing iPad. It is rumored to feature a 7.85-inch touchscreen display, plus there is also a new smaller lightning dock connector like on the new iPhone 5. Have a look at the gallery below.
Design and Features
The design of the iPad Mini appears to be sleek and compact, making it more portable than the standard iPad. The smaller 7.85-inch display is expected to offer a resolution similar to that of the iPad 2, providing a balance between size and usability. The new lightning dock connector is a significant change, aligning the iPad Mini with the latest iPhone models and potentially offering faster data transfer and charging capabilities.
In addition to the smaller size and new connector, rumors suggest that the iPad Mini will come with a variety of storage options, ranging from 16GB to 64GB. This would cater to different user needs, whether for casual use or more intensive tasks like media consumption and gaming. The device is also expected to feature a front-facing camera for FaceTime and a rear camera for photos and videos, similar to the current iPad models.
Market Expectations and Competition
The iPad Mini is anticipated to compete directly with other small tablets in the market, such as the Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire. Both of these devices have been well-received for their affordability and functionality, and Apple’s entry into this segment could shake things up. The iPad Mini is expected to be priced competitively, making it an attractive option for consumers looking for a high-quality tablet experience without the higher price tag of the standard iPad.
We are not sure if these are actual photos of Apple’s new iPad Mini, or photos of a mock-up device. They certainly do look very convincing. We should have some more details on the new iPad Mini next week when it is officially unveiled by Apple.
