Invitations to Apple’s next big event, announcing the highly-rumored iPad Mini, will be sent out on October 10. The
event will follow a week later on October 17th, with the launch of the device
coming shortly after on November 2nd.
All this
according to a report in Fortune, which cites an Apple investor who has heard the dates from “multiple sources.”
Rumors
have been circulating about an iPad Mini for
some time, with many of those rumors pointing to an October product
announcement.
Purported leaked
photos of the pint-sized tablet show a 7.85-inch device with aluminum-back
casing similar to the current iPad, a rear-facing camera, and Apple’s new
lightning connector. The front of the tablet is thought to look much like the
current iPad, with a black -- or potentially white -- bezel surrounding the
screen and a home button at the bottom.
The iPad
Mini is also expected to be less expensive than the current iPad, putting it
against tablet's such as the Nexus 7 and Kindle
Fire in the
marketplace.
Traditionally
secretive about it products, Apple has not acknowledged plans to create a
smaller version of the iPad -- nor has it officially indicated plans to have an
event of any kind in October.
Will we
see a smaller iPad later this month? Give us your prediction in the comments.
