iPad mini I was just thinking...

...will it not cannibalize iPad Mini sales? ...

If you go back in these forums 4 years ago, there were similar apprehensions expressed about the then rumored smaller iPad. You are now here to see how that worked out.

I don't think it will really hurt the iPad mini sales much at all. Don't think will improve them but won't hurt them either.

They are just adding a new product to their line. I cannot see how it will destroy the ipad mini.. Unless ofcourse there are a finite amount of people interested, and those buyers have more options- they might shift between ipad mini and this new thing, but Apple is still getting the money.

Apple could add something (like an active digitizer) to the rMini. That might be enough to differentiate it from a larger iPhone.

What do you mean by that?

Someone was concerned that there would not be enough of a differentiation between a large iPhone and an iPad Mini. I suggested that Apple could add something to the iPad Mini, like an active digitizer w/pen support that would make the Mini stand out.
