We are all expecting the release of iPhone 5 late September which will change the look of the Smartphones forever, but according to some reports and rumors we are expecting also Apple to announce a smaller tablet called iPad Mini which said that Apple will announce it in the media event beside the iPhone 5. The slate is believed to house a 7.85-inch screen and fall in the $200 price range.
Today we have got a new report which confirms that Apple set a date in which it will began the production of the iPad Mini display, the production of iPad Mini should start this month, that’s what the report says:
Citing an analyst, CNET reports:
“We expect panel production to start in August, with production ramping up to high volumes (more than a million units per month) in the fourth quarter,” said Paul Semenza, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch, in response to an e-mail query.
Semenza said this is Display Search’s “understanding of the activity for the 7.85 [inch] panel expected to be used in the iPad Mini.” If this production schedule plays out, it could indicate a late 2012 launch, he said.”
Interestingly enough, this echoes recent reports that put the iPad mini’s release sometime in the last quarter of this year. We’ve heard it could launch as early as September 21st, along with the new iPhone, or as late as November. So what do you think ?! I think we are going to see two devices in the media event, and I am very sure.
