Oh oh oh, I have some in mind. I've been thinking of these since these rumors popped up!

  • iPad Fire
  • iPad 7
  • iPad Optimus Prime
  • iPad Galaxy Tab
  • iPad Nano

Just kidding. :3
They'd probably call it the 'iPad mini' or just 'iPad' and then you specify the size you want to the sales associate, like others said.

But it would be really stupid to call it just 'iPad'..I really hope they don't pull another 'new iPad' joke..it's like all of Apple's creativity died.. .___.
 
iPad (7.85 inch). Current iPad becomes iPad (9.7 inch).

This.

Apple will simply call it "iPad" without distinction so people 'know' it's a full iPad with all software compatibility, etc. They wont have to ask "will this work on an iPad mini?"

And like with iMacs, MacBooks, etc., it'll receive internal designation based on either release date or screen size.

I also believe the next iPhone will simply be called "iPhone" with Apple advertising "the new iPhone" just like "the new iMac" and "the new iPad." Internally it'll be something like "iPhone (fall 2012)" or "iPhone (6th generation)".
 
i swear, you have the most condesending signature i've ever seen in these forums. you do realize, people list what they own because people often have inquires for help and it allows members who do help see the equipment they maintain. it's also something to be proud of if you work hard to buy an apple product.

Also, this is a largely Apple owning forum. People are generally going to be interested in each others' setups.
