The long rumoured iPad Mini may finally get unveiled this month on 23rd. Apple has sent out the invites for their next media event with a tag line, “We’ve got a little more to show you”. From what I understand, Apple is really referring to the variants of their existing products which undoubtedly is the iPad Mini, a smaller version of the iPad. The event happens at the California Theatre in San Jose on the 23rd at 10 AM Pacific.
Going by the rumours, the iPad Mini will have a 7.85 inch screen and it may not be a Retina display so Apple can keep the cost down. Price wise, the rumours range from $249 to $299 with a few going as high as $399. Clearly aimed at the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 crowd. And to think Steve Jobs himself made fun of smaller tablets just two years ago!! Apple is reportedly planning to make 10 million of these this quarter.
Thats not all though. The invite does say “a little more” and the rumour mill expects a refreshed full size iPad with the new Lightning connector, a 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, new iMacs and a new Mac Mini at the same event. We will have all the details here on the 23rd, so stay tuned.
