As usual, there’s nothing new with the design so it still retains the unmistakable iPad mini appearance with its unibody aluminium body. However Apple has made some significant changes on the overall dimensions. It is only 6.1mm thin, which is the same as the  iPad Air 2 , the thinnest for an iPad. In addition, they have also made some weight reductions bringing it down from 331g previously for the WiFi version to just 298.8g. Likewise, the WiFi + 4G Cellular versions which used to weigh 340g on the iPad mini 3 is now just 304g. The display is still the same 7.9″ incher but they have improved it with the same fully laminated display as the iPad Air 2 with additional anti reflective coating. In the camera department, it gets the same combo as the bigger iPads with an 8MP f/2.2 main camera which now brings Burst shots and Slow-mo onto an iPad mini. Meanwhile the front still gets the same 1.2MP unit. The most welcome change is the processor, where it gets a newer A8 chip but it...

Ap ple’s long-anticipated smaller tablet is here and judging from the past experience, the new iPad Mini should give Samsung a run for their money. The battle between Apple and Samsung especially on the copyrights will not end anytime soon hence the whole new battlefield level – mini tablet. The fact that the new pencil-thin (7.2mm) iPad Mini comes a mere half-year after the third-generation iPad (iPad 3) was introduced goes to show that Apple was aggresive in stopping Samsung from making cool money by ripping off its intellectual property, at least that was what the late Steve Jobs thought. Was Apple worry about Android tablet’s market momentum? Of course they are otherwise the company’s senior vice president of marketing, Phil Schiller, would not had spent an unusual amount of time talking about them. Schiller said ” … others have tried to make tablets smaller than the iPad, and they’ve failed … ” and tried very hard to convince the audienc...

Now to the new device – the iPad mini which comes with an all aluminium body with diamond-cut chamfer at the sides. The iPad mini has a 7.9″ IPS display that pushes 1024×768 pixels, which is similar to the 9.7″ iPad 2. While it is no Retina display, it offers a better pixel density (pixels per inch) over the entry level iPad 2 at 163 ppi (iPad 2: 132 ppi). Its direct competitors with smaller 7″ displays such as the Nexus 7 that pushes a higher 1280×800 pixels resolution, which in comparison gives a higher density at 216ppi. On paper, the larger 7.9″ might seem large but Apple has reduced the bezel at the sides so it maintains a smaller width of just 134.7mm. This allows more display space without compromising the comfort of using it with one hand. As comparison the Nexus 7 has a width of 120mm while the 7″ Kindle Fire HD at 137mm. Underneath, it is powered by a familiar dual-core A5 chip which can be found on the iPad 2, iPhone 4S and the current 5th generation iPod to...

i Pad Mini release date, price and specs news and rumours all rolled into one. Read all the latest gossip surrounding Apple's rumoured miniature slate   Update: Despite rumours suggesting that Apple would be dishing out invites to the launch of the iPad Mini on Wednesday, nothing landed in our inboxes. However, there's still hope, as the minature tablet is expected to land on October 17. We're yet to hear about any major updates but will keep you posted as and when we do. iPad Mini: When is it out? Apple is expected to whip the covers off the iPad Mini in weeks, specifically, on October 17, to fend of competition from rival firms, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Google, which launched the Google Nexus 7 tablet a few months back. At first, critics found it hard to believe that Apple would launch a mini slate, simply because its late leader, Steve Jobs, openly criticised them. But with 7-inch tablets performing extremely well in terms of ...

The new iPad has been and gone, sporting a chunkier and heavier build than the iPad 2, which left some wondering: what's with all the extra weight? However, it looks like Apple may be about to aid those conscious of extra grams in their bags, as rumours hot up about a potential iPad Mini (or iPad nano, if you prefer) arriving later this year. As the Amazon Kindle Fire , Google Nexus 7 and Nook HD steal the budget tablet show, Apple may well want a bite of the, well, apple. Back in 2010, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that smaller screened tablets were not "sufficient to create great tablet apps" and would be "dead on arrival", so rumours suggesting a new iPad mini is in the works reveals a potentially new direction for the firm in its post-Jobs era. Believe it or not, there's certainly a lot of chat surrounding the iPad Mini, so we've scooped it all up, mushed it all together and expelled it into a handy round up, allowing you t...

iPad Mini Pictures Show Up on Twitter The pictures you see here are purported to be that of the upcoming iPad mini. Coming from the timeline of Sonny Dickson, a researcher for 9to5Mac, a leading Apple-centric website, there’s reason to believe that these pictures are indeed showing the real deal – but – don’t take this as official just yet. Typical of Apple launches, not much is known about the iPad mini but from the pictures we can see that the device sports some of the design elements seen in the iPhone 5. The new Lightning connector can also be seen making an appearance for the first time on an iPad. We can also see that the smaller iPad is considerably thicker than the iPad 3 with a more rounded and less tapered profile. Apple is expected to send out media invites for the unveiling event for the new iPad soon (read, 10 October US time). Many are saying the iPad mini will make its debut this month. More pictures after the jump.
