On October 23rd, the world's largest public company will unveil the so-called iPad Mini, a smaller, cheaper version of their market leading tablet.
In the invite, Apple simply says "We've got a little more to show you."
The device will allegedly feature a 7.85-inch display, making it a direct rival to the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus 7. Supposedly, the tablet will lose Retina Display and cellular data connectivity, and will not add the A6 processor seen in the iPhone 5. However, the tablet will also allegedly lose some of its hefty price, with the $249 figure being thrown around the most. At $249, the device will be more expensive than its rivals, but $250 cheaper than the third-generation iPad and $150 cheaper than the aging iPad 2.
Furthermore, the new iPad will have the new Lightning connector, which could alienate Apple fans who purchased expensive docks for the older proprietary port.
