I do not know how about you, but I want to see a 7-inch iPad Mini more than the next iPhone (or iPhone 5). Rumors about this handset keep and keep coping and one of the newest ones tells us that the Cupertino based manufacturer has started ordering parts for the mini-version of its tablet. If everything goes well, this tablet should have a 7.85-inch touch-screen display at 1024 x 768 resolution capacity (the same as on the Apple iPad 2 display) and other goodies. Probably, iPad Mini will be announced a bit later than the new iPhone but still should be launched before the Christmas shopping season. According to Pacific Crest analyst Andy Hargreaves,
“Our checks suggest a smaller iPad is likely to launch prior to this holiday season. Checks with component suppliers suggest that Apple is beginning to provide order indications for a smaller iPad that is likely to launch before the holiday period. We believe this product could add over $1 to FY 2013 EPS, while broadening Apple’s addressable market and expanding the halo effect”
