Interesting if true. But I'll be very surprised if they announce an iPad mini alongside the newly revamped iPhone. Just seems unlike the Apple we know and love.

Which of the two would be the "One more thing...?"
 
Well I have been holding off buying an iPad because I wanted the latest generation (#3, the "new" one), but I was also still not sure if I wanted the iPad or a MacBookAir instead.

Well, the iPad Mini will solve that problem. I will now buy the iPad mini AND a MBA. Problem solve and Apple just made more revenue than they would have previously if I'd just bought one device.

Anecdotal I know, but I bet I won't be the only one.
 
I feel cheated. What happened to the pro stuff lined up for 2013?

Is it 2013 yet?

Tim Cook said there would be a new product late next year. As for the Mac Mini, it will likely be updated in a quiet upgrade, sort of like the 2011 MacBook Air or 2011 MacBook Pro spec bump.
 
Have we even seen any 7.85" panels? I haven't read of any and I haven't seen any major parts leaked. I bet we'll see the iPad "3" revamped, if at all, else all attention on the iPhone 5 and iOS6.

Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal both reported about this rumor of an iPad mini almost at the same time. When that happens, you can almost automatically assume that it's a controlled leak from Apple.

There's also the fact that it happened when all the (positive) Nexus 7 reviews came out.

I have the iPad 3. I like your line of thinking, awesome plan. And I'm slightly jealous, too.
 
If they do revamp the current iPad I will be thoroughly annoyed, its only around 5 months old yet it would be deemed 'old technology' thus reducing it's resale price over the updated model!
I know it happens all the time and I expect it with Apple but come on at least give me a year of it being current!
 
It would certainly ease the cutover to the new dock connector to have all current iOS devices use that smaller form factor. A small refresh of the current iPad makes sense.

A similar refresh of the iPhone 4S and 4 to the smaller dock connector would also be sensible for the same reason.


Omg!!!!!! Triple the display space???!! This can only mean one thing!!!!!!

The new iPad will not be mini after all it will be the iPad Biggie... It will be 3 times BIGGER!!!

It will be called the iPad Monolith. A copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra will be included with the machine.

Bad news if you're waiting for a Mac mini update like me. I hope we see one soon. I am looking forward to a smaller iPad as well though.
 
i would highly appreciate if Apple were to launch the next generation iPhone in this upcoming event

But also, I would love to c Apple releasing the the rumored "iPad mini" as well as a 2012 refresh of the iMacs.

Apple! My monehhh is ready for ya! So, three words: BRING IT ON!
 
Makes sense to me.

Get the other stuff moved out of the way, you've got the space allocated so when the new stuff is ready the rest of the store is already arranged. When you get new stuff, you just move out some of the iPads and drop in the new items! The rest of the store is already set.

They might not even be iPads, they might be TVs, they just want them next to the iPads?!?

Well if the iPad Mini is going to be super-cheap to kill off soo many android tabs, they need to release it along with a new iphone to keep profits up and investors happy ;)
 
Why doesn't apple just ask their resellers to stop selling other products? Oh wait a minute, didnt they already do that before?

Absolutely disgusting..... even more disgusting that apple fanboys applaud this.
 
Hmmmmm, trying to put my finger on it, don't get the extra space -
Double down is really crazy for the new device
And that means we haven't seen the real iPhone 5 too , if we can't get a convincing part of the "iPad mini" :)
