It's been a bit quiet on the iPad Mini front recently as everyone turned their attention to the Google Nexus 7, but with that out of the way here come some more details on Apple's potential pint-sized tab.
According to the latest reports, various analysts and industry sources have confirmed that Apple will indeed launch a smaller version of its popular iPad, with it set to retail in the region of $249-$299 (around £159-£190).
The sources, which spoke to Chinese site MyDrivers, went on to say that the iPad mini will use IGZO display panels from Sharp, which produce a thinner screen thus allowing for a more slender device.
Retina display?
Apparently the IGZO display can support a pixel density of up to 330pi, which means the iPad Mini could well sport a Retina display, on its 7.85-inch screen – a size which the sources also claim to be true.
It's not clear when the iPad Mini will be available, but most rumours point to a release date sometime later this year.
We're not getting too carried away with this particular report, as the questionable sources do not fill us with confidence, but it is another rumour to add to a mill that is rapidly filling up with iPad Mini details.
Unsurprisingly Apple has not provided comment on any iPad Mini rumours, so we will have to wait and see if it does arrive sometime later this year – possibly alongside the iPhone 5.
