    Default The iPad Mini (aka Apple Oct 23 Event) Thread

    Was surprised to find that no one posted about this yet.
    For those of you living under a rock, Apple has an event tomorrow (Oct 23) in Cali....most notably to release the iPad Mini/Air (whatever it will be called).

    Also expected are new iMacs, perhaps a 13" MBP w/retina, iTunes 11, and more.


    Good link on latest news/rumors about iPad mini:
    http://www.imore.com/ipad-mini-preview-redux

    More news:

    Anybody else excited? I already sold my original iPad couple days back in anticipation to get an iPad Mini ASAP...

    Living under a rock? Or just don't give a shit about apple?

    Any reliable sources that show the rough starting price point? Seems to be some rumors that it'll sell for around 200, but I find that hard to believe.

    I'm sure everyone knows, but I just don't think people care that much to make a big deal of it before they officially know anything.

    Don't care. iPad size works perfect for me. If I want smaller, I'd use my phone haha.

    My guess it would be in $400. But not sure why Apple wants to fight in this space. They are diluting the brand.

    I heard this will be wifi only. If not, I might consider it.

    I got my iPad free on our company golf tournament, I think I'll be sticking with my iPad for a little bit.. but if it is $200, I'd probably get one and give my iPad to my sister.

    Interesting how Jobs (mac daddy) said he would never release a smaller version of the ipad. We'll see if his vision plays out in his or Cooks favor.

    If you guys are expecting $300 or less, you should check iPod touch prices first.

    No way Apple will set this below $300.

    I doubt I'd get one, I love the current ipad size. Big enough that I can use it for casual internet browsing just as comfortably as a laptop, small enough I can toss it in a bag, light enough my arm doesn't fall asleep in bed

    I seriously doubt this will be anywhere near $200-300.

    Probably $450-$700 depending on 3G, storage, etc.

    From MacRumors:

    9to5Mac reports that pricing for the "iPad mini" is likely to begin at approximately $329 for the entry-level Wi-Fi model, with two higher-capacity models arriving at $429 and $529. Three models of cellular-capable iPad minis will also be available and appear set to carry the same $130 premium over their corresponding Wi-Fi models as seen with the full-size iPad, putting these iPad mini models at $459/$559/$659.

    Didn't he say that he would never release an iPhone with a bigger screen too?

    No, he said no one wants to watch videos on a small screen, then the iPhone was born.

    I have a feeling it will just be a smaller screen and nothing else. Not sure how this is going to fill a gap for them. If they discontinue the iPad 2, and make this the iPad for education, that would make some sense. We'll see.

    iPod touch seems to be more of a Camera now since they added a strap to it.

    Here's a great live blog for it: http://live.theverge.com/apple-ipad-mini-live-blog/

    Also Apple is streaming it live on their website, not sure about Canadian site.
