Is iPad Mini Really Coming? –Full Latest Rumors of iPad Mini Roundup

In recent times, the hottest news is that Apple has been working for storing 10 million iPad Mini ahead of the holiday season. Seemingly the long-rumored iPad Mini is really coming?

Months rumors have indicate that Apple will jump into the low-priced tablet market with offering a small version iPad, which aims at going for a direct completion to Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire. So, here let us check out what kinds of stuffs in iPad Mini to make Apple so confident to take the lost market.

1. A 7.85-inch screen
Multiple reports said the yet-to-be-announced iPad mini will feature a 7.85-inch screen, which is slightly bigger than its current competitors. Also, from the photo showed here, you can easily find that that small-sized iPad is significantly smaller than the current 9.7-inch iPad.

2. Aluminum casing
In line with the leaked pictures recently, the so-called iPad Mini will be with an aluminum shell, which is same as the full-sized iPad. Meanwhile, sources indicate that the body of iPad Mini will be thinner yet slightly wider than Google' Nexus 7 tablet.

3. A5 processor
To cut down the cost but remain a great quality, the iPad Mini is likely to pack A5 processor you can find on iPad 2. If this is the true case, perhaps the processor is not powerful enough to support the Retina display. Although so many fans are expected iPad Mini to be outfitted with Retina Display, considering Apple's aim to offer a device rivaling with low-cost Kindle Fire and Nexus 7, I do not think the Retina Display will be added to iPad Mini.

4. The new Lightning connector 
Although the iPhone 5's new eight-pin connector is widely criticized, in person, I think this a quite creative design to let Apple pack more inside each of its devices. Since the brand-new connector is added to iPhone 5, the iPad Mini is likely to be without exception. From below leaked pictures, you can find that the lighting port on the bottom is flanked by two speaker ports.

5. Wi-Fi connectivity
The earlier leaked news shows that the iPad Mini is only with 3G support. However, with today's reports, this device will be Wi-Fi-only in an effort to keep prices competitive, which is also similar to Google’s 7-inch Nexus tablet. It this turns out to be true, it is really annoy for those 3G and 4G users.

6. Revised speakers

From above photo, you can easily find that iPad Mini comes with two rear speakers rather than the single speaker on current iPad. Surely, the bad sound quality of original iPad we frequently complain will be much improved.

Rumors also suggest that Apple will send out invitations to media this Wednesday, and the announcement event for the iPad Mini will be taken place on October 17. Let us stay tuned to confirm whether or not these rumors will become true.

Rumors for iPad Mini---the Biggest Rival to Kindle Fire

A fresh report from New York Times mentions that both Apple and Amazon are readying for their new tablets: iPad Mini and 10-inch Kindle Fire, and both of them will be released in near future. As is known to all, the Amazon’s stunning success with 7-inch Kindle Fire is the reason why Apple joins the fierce competition on smaller screened tablet area. Among a variety of 7-inch tablets in currently marketplace, Kindle Fire and iPad Mini are the most expected ones and also Kindle Fire is widely viewed as the key rival for the upcoming iPad Mini. Do you think which one will become the true flagship in smaller screened  tablet market? Here let me take a comprehensive summary on presently rumors on iPad Mini. Perhaps you will obtain the answer from the news.

iPad Mini Display: At the start of March, Digitimes reported that the new iPad Mini would actually come with a 7.85-inch Retina-quality display that you can see in iPhone 4S and New iPad, plus a 1024 x 768 resolution will be featured that is the same pixels as the original iPad 2. Here, you will find that the iPad Mini seems a little bigger than the 7-inch screen found on the Kindle Fire and its resolution is tad higher than Kindle Fire which contains a resolution of 1024 x 600.

iPad Mini Storage and Memory: In order to keep the cost of iPad Mini down, one online source reckons the iPad Mini will ship with just 8GB internal storage, which is the same amount as the Amazon’s Kindle Fire.

iPad Mini Price: According to another online source, it claims that the iPad Mini will land with a very reasonable price tag between $200 and $ 250.----we deeply hope this can turn out to be a truth! Speaking of the selling price, we should mention that the Amazon Kindle Fire only needs a cost at $199. For those ones who are unwilling to afford a bit higher price iPad Mini, perhaps the Kindle Fire will be a more attractive option for consumers. Personally, I don't believe Apple could charge less than $299 for an iPad Mini.

Other Features on iPad Mini: For the thickness of iPad Mini, Japanese blog Macotakara cites an unknown source, claiming the iPad Mini will be a 7.2mm thick and come with 3G functionality, while the Kindle Fire is on a 11.4mm thick but only loaded with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Although there  is no official announcement for the iPad Mini release data, global masses are highly expecting the new 7-inch tablet coming to market later this year  and delivering us with excellent features and different feelings while operating iPad Mini in small shape.
