iPad Mini And Redesigned iPad With Lightening Connector Releasing Tomorrow - Geeky Apple - The new iPad 3, iPhone iOS6 Jailbreaking and Unlocking Guides

iPad Mini And Redesigned iPad With Lightening Connector Releasing Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day when Apple is going to announce a redesigned iPad mini and as the name suggests,, this iPad will be of a smaller size with 7.85 inch diagonally. The reason for introducing a 7 inch iPad is to compete with Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire. It is quite obvious that the new iPad mini will feature a lightening connector like that of iPhone 5.

The concept of a 7 inch iPad was earlier coined while Steve Jobs was still alive but he wouldn't accept it considering it as a waste because of the smaller screen size and instead proposed 10 inch screen as a minimum requirement. The ideology behind the 7 inch iPad came from Apple's senior vice president, Eddy Cue who strongly believes that there is a market in 7 inch screen devices and hence Apple should have a smaller iPad too.

It is a known fact that Apple gives a lot of thinking before releasing a product and the reason behind having a 7.85 inch iPad instead of 7 inch is because this will help the developers an easy way to upgrade their apps. With a 7.85 inch screen, the iPad mini can still run all the applications that run on iPad and iPhone. The only work that developers will have to upgrade their apps would be to adjust the corners to match the iPad mini screen.

Internally, the iPad mini is believed to be built using the same components as last year's iPad 2. That means the same CPU (A5), same RAM (512 MB) and same GPU. It also means the screen is not expected to be a "Retina" display. Instead, it will be same 1024x768 resolution as the iPad 2 -- though at a higher pixel density due to the smaller screen. - Macrumors

With Apple there are always rumors before the release of every new product or occurence of any event. This time it is for iPad Mini. It has been rumored that since Google has launched a 7 inch Nexu7 tablet to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire, its seems pretty reasonable that Apple might launch one too. To gain more control over tablet market, Apple might launch a mini iPad version to attract those consumers who are willing to spend less on a tablet. MyDrivers.com has confirmed that Apple will indeed launch a 7.85 inch iPad later this year with a IGZO Display - Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide that will give a thinner and brighter display. The thinkness of the mini iPad is likely to be of the same thinkness as iPad 2 and the new iPad. Earlier, it was rumored that Apple would be using these IGZO displyas in The New iPad3 but apprently these were not ready by that time. Digitimes also reports that Apple might replac the current iPad display with IGZO but have considered that the news to be unreliable. Don't put your hope on this one until you hear more about it. If at all Apple launches an iPad with smaller display, will it be supporting GSM carrier ? Nothing can be said right now and even if its going to be a GSM iPad then its very likely to be locked on specific carriers like AT&T.

Apple iPad Mini Rumors - Apple Asking Suppliers To Gear Up For Mass Production ~ Geeky Apple - The new iPad 3, iPhone iOS6 Jailbreaking and Unlocking Guides

From www.geekyapple.com - July 4, 2012 11:55 AM

Apple's iPad mini to come in october Apple asks suppliers to be ready for mass production of mini iPads.

Earlier we shared that Apple is planning to launch a 7.85 inch iPad mini that will be competing with Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire. Bloomberg has also confirmed that Apple is indeed going to launch a new iPad which would be slightly smaller that the current iPad which is 9.7 inch diagonally. Apple is apparently going to launch the new iPad mini with a smaller screen size and will be using IGZO display which give high brightness in a thinner display. The rumors are mounting up as the Wall street journal reported that Apple is telling its suppliers to be prepared for mass production that will supply Apple iPad mini's components. Apple's component suppliers for iPad mini are LG Display Co. and AU Optronics Co. The two companies are likely to be the suppliers for the new iPad mini that we might see in October this year. It has also been rumored that the new iPad mini would be priced in between $199 - $299 that will be directly aiming at Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle. Apple's iPad has already conquered the tablet market globally and with iPad mini as an analyst said, would bring back Amazon's Kindle and Google's Nexus 7 to the point that they might expunge out just as in the case of iPad 2 and iPad 3. Apple's decision to go head on with Google seems like the differences between the two companies is filling in with competitive advantage over another.
