An iPad mini could be unveiled by Apple in just two weeks as the brand seeks
to compete with cheaper, smaller tablets such as Amazon's Kindle Fire.
The downsized version of the new iPad
will reportedly sport a 7.85" screen, as against the 9.7" panel of its
big brother. Other details are not known, although it has been said that
the new device will not come with a Retina display featured in
current iDevices. It will probably have a nano-SIM slot, anodised
aluminium casing, thin bezel, the proprietary Lightning port, and iOS. The late Steve Jobs had categorically rejected the idea of a smaller device a couple of years ago, but the success of 7" Android slates in capturing the small tablet market might have prompted Apple to reconsider its decision. An earlier report had stated
that the iPad mini could be priced in the range of $250 (approx Rs
13,000) to $300 (Rs 15,500), which seems rather low considering Apple's
high quality standards. In any case, this news should be taken with the
usual high doses of salt.
