Pad will get a modest update at the event including the new lightning connector, possibly an updated A6 processor from the i. Phone 5 and updated LTE support so it works in the UK. Apple has been expected to whip the covers off the i. Pad Mini at any moment for some weeks, to fend of competition from rival firms, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Google, which launched the Google Nexus 7 tablet a few months back. At first, critics found it hard to believe that Apple would launch a mini slate, simply because its late leader, Steve Jobs, openly criticised them. But with 7- inch tablets performing extremely well in terms of sales recently, it's believed the Cupertino- based firm may have had a change of heart. The rumours emerged just weeks after Barnes and Noble launched its Nook range of tablets, while online retailer Amazon is gearing up to launch its new Kindle Fire tablets at the end of the month. The i. Pad Mini is expected to be available in shops from November 2 in time for the pre- Christmas rush, priced between . Apple devices are notoriously expensive, so the launch of a cheap(er) tablet is a clear indication that the San Francisco firm is pulling out all the stops to ensure Amazon doesn't steal its tablet crown. Some analysts also believe the launch of a mid- sized tablet will fend off competition from the likes of Samsung and Microsoft, both of which have been very active in their pursuits to overtake the world's biggest company. Analysts claim Apple stands to gain about $1. That figure is based on a calculation of its potential innards, with the screen costing the most at $4. Despite an Amazon Kindle Fire UK release date not being set yet, the tablet is creating a buzz on British shores. It was released in the US in November last year and, according to reports, 3. Christmas. Samsung has also seen miniature success in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Note, a tablet and mobile phone all- in- one sporting a colour- rich 5. The device has sold over 5m units despite only being released a few months ago, and its follow- up, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, is expected to be unveiled at the IFA show in Berlin in August. Although going miniature seems to be the new fad in tablet design, critics believe that Apple will buck the trend, according to Mac. World. The late Apple boss Steve Jobs once famously dissed mid- sized slates during an Apple earnings call in October 2. The 1. 0in screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps. Pad.”““These are among the reasons that the current crop of 7- inch tablets are going to be DOA - - dead on arrival,” he said. Pad Mini: What specs will it have? The controversial motherboard manufacturer Foxconn and the design and electronics manufacturer Pegatron, two of Apple's most devoted i. Kit producers, have apparently already been briefed about the i. Pad Mini. They will, according to reports, be actively involved in the production of the device. Whether the i. Pad Mini will function as a mobile phone remains to be seen, however, it is believed it will have a 7. Additionally leaked photos sent to Mac. Rumors of the battery suggest it will sit between the i. Phone 5 and i. Pad 2 battery capacities at 5. Watt- Hours. Has the first i. Pad Mini case been outed? Case manufacturers might not get their hands on the device ahead of everyone else, but they often have a good idea of the kind of dimensions we can expect to see.

Have they got it right this time? Only time will tell.. How has Apple reacted to Microsoft Surface? Although we all expected to see a batch of Windows 8 tablets arrive this year, none of us expected a Microsoft- branded slate. The software giant unveiled the Microsoft Surface tablet earlier this month, although a release date and price point is yet to be allocated. The Windows 8- toting device measures in at 1. Gorilla Glass 2 display. Also in the mix is a stunning 1. Full HD Clear. Type screen and a USB 3. It will be available in two storage models: 6. GB and 1. 28. GB. What will the surprise release of the Surface mean for Apple? We're yet to hear how the bods over at Cupertino have reacted to the news but we'll update this post the minute we hear more. Here's what the rumours say about the 2. Pad mini release date, price and specs. Earlier this year, the rumour- mill suggested that Apple would hold a Spring Event in March or early April. However, both months came and went with no events at all. Apple did launch a new i. Pad to replace the i. Pad Air, alongside a new Red i. Phone 7, plus more storage in the entry- level i. Pad mini 4. Rather than holding an event to do so, the company simply took its website offline for several hours on 2. March, and when it came back online the new products were there. You can find out more here. So that means we're still waiting for a smaller i. Pad Pro or an i. Pad mini 5, which ever Apple decides to launch. We're talking about a new i. Pad with a 7. 9in screen, which is the size of the current i. Pad mini 4's display. When is the i. Pad Pro mini release date? Pad mini 5 / i. Pad Pro mini UK release date: June 2. On 9 September 2. Apple unveiled its i. Pad mini 4. This was a month earlier than usual, and with no separate i. Pad launch event scheduled for October it appeared alongside the i. Phone 6s and i. Phone 6s Plus. Apple then shook things up a bit in 2. It had one launch event in March, the WWDC developers conference in June, a second launch event in September, and a third in October. It didn't announce an i. Pad Pro mini during any of these events, which meant the next most likely release date was March 2. But, as mentioned above, March saw the i. Pad mini 4 get a small storage boost, but no actual update for fans of the smaller tablet. Which means it's now been more than a year and a half since the tablet got a proper update. One explanation is that - as reported by Digi. Times - the 2. 01. Pads will be delayed to the second half of the year as the components are still at a planning stage. The source doesn't mention anything smaller than 9. It's not the only rumour that suggests the i. Pad mini series is being quietly phased out, as a BGR source close to Apple claims that it's the end of the road for the 7. The source didn't go into any detail about when this might happen though, so it could be more of a long- term plan than something we'll see happen in 2. The latest figures from IDC show that Apple hasn't had a great start to 2. Pad sales than last Jan- Mar 2. Part of that could be down to poor sales of the i. Pad mini. Other reports suggest that Apple is working on four new i. Pad Pro models: 7. We'd argue that the 7. Apple will keep the 'Pro' suffix for the 9. Plus, to bolster this train of thought, that new 1. Pad is predicted for 2. Pro line- up rather than a dinky i. Pad mini. Also see: Best tablet 2. How much will the i. Pad Pro mini cost in the UK? Apple tends to keep the price of its i. Pad mini line- up the same, reducing the price of its previous- generation mini when the new model goes on sale. So if Apple has managed to keep all leaks under control and surprises us with a launch in late March, then based on 2. Pad mini 4 pricing, we can expect an i. Pad mini 5 to be priced as follows. We expect that would cost around . The i. Pad mini 4 is currently available direct from Apple, as well as third- party vendors such as John Lewis and Currys. What will the new i. Pad mini be called? What will the i. Pad Pro mini look like? Apple is rumoured to be using Series 7. Pads. This is the same stuff it uses for the i. Phone 6. S and 7, which is stiffer and lighter than the lower grade aluminium used in other products. The i. Pad mini 5 is more than likely going to look very familiar to the i. Pad mini 4, with the same 7. Retina display. However, it’s tipped to feature a 7. That’s handy, since it’s also rumoured to be thinner than its predecessor: just 5mm thick. Also expect Apple to introduce a Rose Gold colour option, as it has done elsewhere in its hardware line- up. What are the rumoured features? D Touch is able to register how much pressure is applied to the screen and offer differing options as a result. We’d love to see IP6. Pad, but we can’t avoid the feeling this tip may be just wishful thinking. Rumours suggest Apple will indeed launch the Apple Pencil 2 this year, but whether it's with a smaller i. Pad or not remains to be seen - a new 1. Pad Pro is the tip. It can now only be found in 1. GB storage size. As before expect a 7. Retina IPS display, but here with the possible addition of 3. D Touch. The i. Pad mini 4 features a 5,1. Ah battery. The new i. Pad mini will likely feature an 8. Mp camera at the rear and 1. Mp at the front. As the i. Phone has lost the headphone connector, it's a possibility that the new i. Pad mini will do so also. Apple has bitten the bullet with the i. Phone; expect it to do the same with the i. Pad mini. More specifically, the 7. Pad to be thinner and more durable. Other specs, such as the Touch. ID fingerprint scanner, are likely to remain the same. For more new i. Pad mini rumours check out our sister site Macworld. Follow Marie Brewis on Twitter.
