It looks like some of the rumors were right: Apple sent out press invites for an event Oct. 23 and this will likely be the unveiling of the iPad Mini, or whatever it's called.?
We've seen an avalanche of leaks regarding this smaller tablet and there are a lot of things we think we know about the iPad Mini. For a more complete look, feel free to check out this post, "iPad Mini: Everything you need to know."
The iPad Mini is expected to have a 7.85-inch display and essentially have the same internals as the iPad 2. We're expecting it to land with 8GB, 16GB and 32GB versions and some rumors said it will only come with Wi-Fi models, although I'm skeptical. Look for the iPad Mini to also have Bluetooth, GPS and the Lightning?port, and it will launch with iOS 6.?
Pricing is going to be one of the most interesting issues because many believe that Apple can really destroy the 7-inch tablet market for its competitors if Apple releases the iPad mini for an entry-level price of $199. I'm not quite sure it will be that bold but I could see the 8GB model launching for $249 or maybe $299. The only issue I have with that is the 32GB iPod touch costs $299 as well.?
Apple needs to get into this smaller tablet market because the competition has shown that there's some demand here. Whether it's the Nexus 7?or the variety of Kindle Fire HD tablets, millions of people have shown that they are willing to buy a tablet that's smaller than the iPad. Apple probably sees that as money left on the table.?
We'll be covering the Oct. 23 announcement live, so keep it locked on KnowYourCell for the latest.?
