Rumors and Speculation of November 2 'iPad Mini' Launch Building

[Want300]

Eh, I'll hold out for the iPad Nano.

LOL, it could be called the "iPad Note" or the "iPod TouchPad" 😎


I hope they release it on November 2. I just can't wait to see how much its going to cost. Too many rumors point this direction and that...

iPad Mini Colors

The background of the invitation resembles a lot the invitation for the original iPad. There were no colored versions, however.

You make a good point. Honestly I'd prefer if they only did an aluminum shell and black/white fronts. I detest the colors thing they do with the iPods.😎

Eh, I'll hold out for the iPad Nano.

It's already out, and has multiple color choices. 😉

I think he meant pre-order

The iphone was avaible on order here but straight from the word go there was a4 week wait.

But what about the roundup?

 

[hamkor04]

sweeet

but then again i have zero interest in a ipad mini
but a imac hellll yes!!!!! 😀😀😀

yes, exactly.
why this MR stressing iPad Mini "advertising" so badly????

----------

Now to know the price point...

would you buy it if higher than Nexus 7?
also in UK pretty good discounts from Motorola Tablets, I don't know how
"Epic" entrance this for Apple

 

[Patriks7]

Isn't this why the Roundups section was made?? 😕 Would be nice to have all this in one section...

 

[Kwill]

Clever

Did you say a LITTLE more to show you? 😉

 

[Eadfrith]

There are millions of iPad Mini's boxed up in warehouses right now all waiting for new homes. 😱

...
Does this mean iPad Mini w/ colors? Maybe.
...

No... It simply means The Beatles are coming on iTunes! 😉

The name "iPad Mini" seems to be taken for granted now. I think they might go for a less, er, belittling name.
The Mac Mini is like a pea compared to other desktop Macs, but an 8" version of a 10" model is another story. It's not like they call the 21.5" iMac the iMac Mini.

I shake my head to people who really think these so called "iPad mini's" will have retina and LTE....

So we'd have 8-64GB models with some wi-fi and some wi-fi + 3G or LTE plus multiple colors? Seems like a lot of SKU's. 😱 I wonder if they will offer the Smart Cover or smart case for the Mini?

I will pre order one right away, I just want to know one thing first. IF the iPad mini comes with a 3G/LTE option...WILL I be able to transfer my unlimited ATT data plan from my iPad first gen to the mini???

I am grandfathered in, and i know AT&T allows me to transfer my unlimited plan to the iPad 2 or 3 if I wanted to. But I want to wait and see if the mini comes in a 3G/LTE version and IF I can transfer my plan to it.

That would be sweet. Kinda like a big smartphone, where I could use VoIP apps to make calls for free... 🙂

Very true. The 11-inch MacBook Air isn't a "MacBook Air Mini." Naming them "8-inch iPad" and "10-inch iPad" could actually be less confusing for customers.

Must be so amazing that you get the urge to post about it a million times on macrumors!

Of course, why would ATT no longer be consumer friendly? They always do what is best!

October 23rd is just another day. That you'll never forget. 😎

You sir are correct. Hope the retina macbook pro 13" is available like the rumors and I'll be complete. By the way I have only talked about it in the section "alternatives to ios" previously so not sure what ur on about. I even edited it for you. Just so you dint get too upset.

Ipad Mini Promo Picture

Is it just me, or does the apple in this promo look like a pumpkin? Maybe this means that the rumored iPad Mini will have availability on Halloween...

4g uk

Well 4G launches 10/30 in the UK.. If iPad mini supports cellular then that would be a good day to launch

Did you say a LITTLE more to show you? 😉

iPad Little? 😉

Rumor from China

One of the big rumors emerging from my sources is that the iPad mini MAY have Phone functionality, to compete with Samsungs Note. What is everyones thoughts about this?

 

[bushido]

Hope they talk about iTunes update again. I'm looking forward to that the most! 🙂

indeed, didnt they say its coming out at the end of october? but how is that gonna work out ... there hasnt even been a beta 😱

 

[soxmandan]

I hope there's an iPad mini in slate black like the iPhone 5. It would pretty much be an instant purchase from me if so.
