I've said it before, I'll say it again: the iPad mini is probably one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of.
I've also said when it doesn't come out, I'll call all the reporters who so vigorously believed in it and touted it as fact idiots.
If it does come out, there will be no apology from me...rather...I'll just call the folks at Apple who let this come to pass idiots.

...what are you, ten? how many billions upon billions upon billions does apple have to kill it before you realize they know what theyre doing?

but im sure its just their idiocy, right? soon theyll hire you, random forum guy, and put you in charge.
 
Apple - get on with the announcements already.

I'm bored of waiting.

No kidding?!

Anyone that gives a crap about this stuff already knows a new phone is coming anyways, get on with it already!!!

If the new phone will sell millions upon millions, who really gives a crap if the 4s takes a hit, there's only 20 days left!

I need something "official", lol, tired of all the "this famous person says this and then this other person thinks this..." gimme a break!

Well let me just say that I had Jury Duty today and I took my iPad.
After sitting there for several hours, I was thinking, I sure wish I had an iPad Mini right now!

How about when, in a year, you find that the iPad Air (not 'mini') has outsold all other iPads combined?
That's my prediction.

right... because Apple's reason for existing is to assuage your 4th grade impatience.
 
I see Jim Dalrymple is wearing his cut. What MC does he belong to?

EDIT: Nevermind. That's Black label Society patches made to look like an MC cut. Almost looks like an "Outlaws" MC cut. You wouldn't want to walk into the wrong place wearing that.

Ive read some crap on here before but this tops it.

I agree. Slash is a monster on the guitar.

Is the Apple news circuit really going to give Gruber the sole credit for coming up with this idea? I'm pretty sure everyone who follows Apple thought about this same thing at one point or another. Apple will hold a seperate event to release a new product!? Holy ****, how insane! It's painfully obvious that announcing the new iPhone, talking about iOS6, updating the iPods, introducing a new iTunes. AND announcing an iPad Mini is way too much for one event.

I still don't believe there even is an iPad mini, but if there is, I don't believe for a second they would unveil it alongside the iPhone. Apple would probably just wait until the next iPad event to unveil an iPad mini at this point.
 
iPod Touch is really long in the tooth. I wonder if it will die or be replaced by the smaller iPad. The entire iPod line seems kinda weak.

I would have thought it'd have at least one more revision. Then get replaced by eSIMed cheap iPhone for pre-paid market.
 
iPhone and iMacs announced in September.
iPad nano and iPod lineup in October with that event dedicated to Steve!!
 
People on this forum need to understand that what Jim Dalrymple says about Apple is essentially fact. He is basically Apple's controlled leak system.
 
Makes perfect sense. The iPhone and iOS 6 should have their own separate event, given how important they are to Apple. Especially if there's a new iPhone design, with a new connector, and maybe one or two surprises to unveil. (Fingerprint scanner?)

In October, I can see going back to their music/media event, with a new iPod Nano, iPod Touch, a revamped iTunes 11 (hopefully), and "iPod Extreme" as their "one more thing..." announcement.

Your an idiot
 
The hate is strong with this one...

I am sure Apple will consider your intellectual and constructive opinion... and still do whatever they want. Making you mad about it (who knows why, but here we are), is just the icing on the cake :)

I absolutely can not wait for a mini! I must be an idiot!

Let me get this straight, to align yourself with the late Steve Jobs opinions on small tablets not being a good idea is now considered inappropriate?

I agree with SJ, furthermore the iPad mini would probably just going to end up competing with the iPad and blurring the difference between it and its competitors.

Having said that, calling anyone an idiot is usually considered rude.
 
I would buy the iPad Mini... Maybe I'm a consumer idiot, but I wanted the next generation iPad, but if a smaller version if the iPad 3 is coming out, then I would definitely see what it brings to the table. If I like what I see, then I'm going to buy. I do like the iPads size right now but in bed, I think the mini would surface, it won't cost as much and it's more comfortable whilst browsing on the side. But, I'm also upgrading to the new iPhone, so I'll see how I'll live with that before considering an iPad, but I do want one in the next 3-12 months.
