Apple Sends Out Media Invites For Special Event On October 23rd
The rumor mill has thrown up a number of theories as to Apple’s supposed ‘iPad Mini’ endeavors, and whilst a fair few may have thought the elusive device was nothing more than an out-of-control rumor, the Cupertino company has today announced a special event to be held in a weeks’ time, on October 23rd, 2012.
Usually, Apple’s keynotes are held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, but in a change to the usual schedule, this particular event will occur at the California Theatre in San Jose. Although the announcement perhaps doesn’t silence all of the naysayers and skeptics, it’s the first official indication that the smaller slate will indeed be launching this month.
It’s expected to pack in a 7.85-inch display, and although it won’t be of the Retina grade in terms of pixels-per-inch, in offering the same resolution as the iPad 2 on a smaller diameter, it’ll certainly be very sharp. We’ve learned today that there could be as many as twelve different configurations of the iPad Mini, with a Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G LTE offering in each of the 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB storage capacities.
Various leaks of internal parts, as well as a bunch of mockups, have given anxious tech fans a depiction to match the continual rumors, but given Apple’s knack for a well-crafted cover-up, don’t be surprised if the smaller iPad doesn’t wind up looking as many of us presumed it would.
