Earlier, rumor mill buzzed the arrival of Apple iPad 3 towards the early spring. Now there are some serious speculations encountered on the new Apple iPad Mini. According to the Digitimes, the electronic parts manufacturer and suppliers, Apple is trying to introduce a 7.85 inch iPad. The publication claims that Apple is "purchasing 7.85-inch panels from LG Display, and AU Optronics (AUO)." The production of the new Apple iPad Mini can take place somewhere in the second quarter of 2012 and the launch can happen during the third or fourth quarter of 2012.
In a release today, Digitimes reports that Apple is likely to launch a 7.85-inch iPad prior to the fourth quarter of 2012 in addition to a new iPad scheduled to be released at the end of the first quarter, according to sources in the supply chain.” Readers, how likely do you think this would be? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
Although there are multiple sources that have claimed the coming launch of this never-before-seen model, the “mini-iPad” still hasn’t been confirmed by Apple, because of the very nature of the device. Apple would have to “re-resolution” its user interface once again for a screen size in between the 4-inch iPhone models and the 9.7-inch iPad models. This move would require Apple to have three device resolutions for app developers to focus on, something it has been long attempting to avoid, given the deep-seated fragmentation issues Android has seen with its own plethora of resolutions.
