Yep! Didn't take long for Tim Cook to completely re-write the legacy of Steve Jobs.![]()
Did Steve had only one size of notebooks?
Did Steve had only one sized display iMacs?
Did Steve had only 1 model of ipod?

What do you guys think of this
"Now, because the iPad mini will squeeze the iPad 2′s 1024-by-768 9.7-inch display onto an area thats at least 40 percent smaller, the individual pixels will be closer together so pixelation will be less visible, conventional wisdom has it.
Who knows, Apple engineers could even hit the magic 320 pixels-per-inch density required to justify the Retina moniker, even if it means slightly increasing the resolution beyond 1024-by-768."
I don't know, perhaps everyone should just make 50" TV screens.
I mean what's the point in a smaller one when the bigger one can do it all?
I for one has always felt the iPad is to big and heavy. I would seriously consider an iPad mini. Seems like a good combo between an iPad and a Kindle.
I would agree. I don't understand the "one size fits all" brigade because we are all different and so are our tech requirements. The iPad Mini will almost certainly appeal to different demographic to the larger iPad.
And to say that market doesn't exist is just plain nonsense. Ars Technica recently reported an interesting study that seemed to have bypassed the Mac sites showing that the iPad's market share in the US has fallen from 81% in 2011 to 52% in 2012 as the other devices gain sales and traction. I don't know if that's true or not but Apple will have the numbers to see how the iPad is selling so maybe they can see a trend and want to ensure that they dominate that market to.

Not quite sure about this (Nr 3). I think they will keep the New iPad as it is (strong sales anyway) and leave the Lightning Connector for The New New iPad 2013 A6You might want to start looking for an alternate gift then. It's not going to be £199.99.
£299-£329 is more realistic assuming the entry model is 16GB. TOTALLY AGREE!!
Apple isn't going to sell at loss or break even like the other Android tabs. Apple, and also Wall Street, is going to need a 35-40% markup over cost.
Obvious scenario seems to me that Apple will:
1) Discontinue the iPad 2 (old Dock Connector)
AGREE
2) Intro the mini to take it's place on the price point AGREE
3) Revise the "new iPad" to include a Lightning connector in place of the D.C.
iPhone 5 didn't really count, that was too far along. iPad mini is still a rumor, no one is sure, minimal leaks. So your sarcastic comment holds little weight.Apple will be tripling down on secrecy next year, since just doubling failed miserably
Apple was able to change the resolution of the iphone 5 to widescreen so its seems they should be able to come up with a decent resolution that's not just the same, or pixel doubling of the old resolution. What's the problem? They should be able to do 1024x1536.Why can't the purported iPad mini have a 1/2 sized Retina display: 1024x1536. The display could probably be easily/cheaply produced with current machinery, and at the same time giving Apple the 'resolutionary' edge over Google and Amazon.
Anybody???
Has Apple ever had a product announcement where invitations went out in less than a week?
Because if the rumors of an announcement being made on Oct 10th are true, then that would have to be today?
Read it again. The invites will go out on 10 Oct for a media event on 17 Oct with product release probably sometime the following week along with the new iPods and new iTunes.
iPad, iPad, iPad, iPad, iPad, iPhone, iPhone, iPad, iPad.
Where are the MAC rumours????????????
Thanks for clarifying!
If you particularly wanted to demonstrate your bad grammar, you could indeed type that.
I'm not entirely sure what exactly constitutes a troll, but I'm just very angry with Apple's lack of respect for their customers and equally angry with all the consumers blindly buying Apple's under-par products. For a company that demands such a high price and has such enormous amounts of cash, I don't feel such a high number of mistakes are acceptable.
Wow, you can see into the future? Look into your crystal ball and tell us when will Apple release new iMacs, Mac Pros, and the Classic iPod?
Considering Christmas is still a few months away, I think you have time
An iPad mini for a toddler? Wow. Not judging though![]()
Would this be the death of the iPad 2?
There's a reason why Apple designs their products to be stupidly easy to use.![]()
Why iPad mini would be a logic evolution? I see two versions of this product.
1. 'Cheap' version with non retina display
Name: iReader
For who: people who read a lot, and uses kindle style machines. Students, commuters...
Price: $129 or below
Benefit: grab this market of readers, and create hallow effect . Also provide much better reading experience than other readers.
Features: super thin, lighter (can hold without problem), limited iOS, very very long battery life.
2. Mini iPad as leaked, with full features of new iPad.
Name: iPad mini
For who: pros, people who bought the RMB.
Price: $700
Benefit: the roll Royce of smaller size tablets.
I did not explain in too much details my reasoning, on order to make this first post simple.
This is my first post, so go easy on me... But tell me what you think.
I wonder if the iPad Mini will come with the same wifi issues, bluetooth drop-outs, scuffs, scratches, dents, camera purple-fringing, terrible Maps app, lack of accessory support and with no adaptors available.
This is, after all, the Apple we've all come to know and love...
