8. iPad Mini rumors strengthened with release of new leaks and reports of mass production. Many sources have confirmed mass manufacturing of 7.85 inch tablet from Apple supposedly called iPad Mini. The reports also suggest that the tablet won’t have retina display, and is going to be underpowered in comparison to the 10 inch iPad. iPad Mini event invites likely to be sent on October 10 and the product launch likely to be held on October 17th if the rumor mills are to be believed. ==> As per leaks of iPhone 5, most of those rumors turned out true, we believe the same may be fate of iPad Mini (but with Apple Maps failure, Apply may be purposefully delaying the release of iPad Mini until it corrects its Apple Maps because products like a 7 inch tablet are most likely to be used in cars docked as GPS unit.)
