iPad Mini has no shortage problems

If something has prevented Apple sell all units of iPad Mini would have liked, were the shortages that their suppliers have had in recent months, even though the device was released a little over 4 months ago . Many have had to wait several weeks to get the tablet after ordering it, but this story is over.

According to several Apple stores, the iPad Mini has no shortage problems, and this goes for all models, including the black and white colors, and those with only WiFi or WiFi + cell.

Yet in Europe still have to wait three days for purchases work again normally.

Apple completely exhausted their stock of iPad Mini after the device is sold totally three days after launch, and since then the problems started with the shortage. Fortunately, the situation has come to a close and tablet sales are normalizing these days.

As expected, the Mini iPad 2 will have a screen resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels, that is similar to the fourth-generation iPad, although smaller in size will remain.

Analysis of iPad mini

Apple has finally made the leap to the world of small tablets after years of denial. The family iPad so far always maintained its 9.7-inch screen and remained at large tablets segment, close to 10 inches, but the overwhelming success of Nexus 7 Kindle Fire tablets have forced the company to apple responsible for a segment that until recently had forgotten.

Goldwyn iPad mini , which is actually a shortened version of the excellent tablet iPad 2, but with a smaller size. The display of the new tablet is 7.85 inches and its price is also reduced, although not as competitive as Google devices. You can get it from the Nov. 5 for 329 euros.
The official launch of the iPad mini was accompanied besides the announcement of the new fourth-generation iPad tablet, but the star was undoubtedly miniature version as it offers high quality and value for fans of Apple devices. Of course her older cousin is more powerful, but that does not mean that Apple's new proposal can achieve great sales of the device face to bring new audiences.

Product Reviews

What makes it different to the iPad mini? First of all size, a screen having the device gets smaller and lighter easier to control or at least hold it with one hand.

Also the price is reduced by using technology that is not art. The new iPad mini processor is the same as the iPad 2, a dual-core A5. The device resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels and there's a downside to buying with other devices as the Kindle Fire tablet HD and Nexus 7 have better resolution even with slightly smaller screens.
On the device, since Apple say it is much more comfortable and easier to carry than the other tablets as it offers a space with about 40% more screen to interact, while providing a stylish and convenient way to browse the Internet through the tablet.
For its size and weight the new iPad mini is more than attractive. Only has 7.2 mm thick and weighs just over 308 grams, quite an achievement for a mobile device designed to surf the Internet and play audio and video quality. Like the iPad 2, the new iPad mini offers excellent playback quality and speed thanks to its powerful dual-core processor.
In terms of storage memory and find three different versions with 16, 32 and 64 GB. Connectivity includes WiFi and 4G according to the model and the SIM card support Nanosim include the new form. Prices start from 329 euros upwards, a figure little competitive when you consider that the Kindle Fire is $ 199 and $ 249 Nexus 7.
Anyway its design and features the iPad mini will surely have a large number of sales, especially among fans of the apple company wishing to keep abreast of the latest releases. What does remain to be seen is how many sales you remove the mini iPad iPad2 his first since having the same performance is more likely that new users are shifted to the cheaper version.

Positives

 Its design is practical and can hold the tablet with one hand, and using technology of the iPad 2's price is well below the new fourth-generation iPad. The iPad mini is an excellent device that will fight for a place in the segment of small 7-inch tablets.

Negatives

The absence of the Retina display and the fact they use an older processor that power level is lower than the Google Nexus 7. Despite being an old device's price is well above the other tablets like Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7.

Conclusion

A Apple fans will love having a new smaller and versatile tablet. Others will buy it for their low price compared to iPad 2, but overall it is a device without too many innovations beyond the size so I can not speak of a revolutionary tablet, which does mark a change in strategy is Apple on intermediate-sized tablets.

Mini iPad and iPad 4 is selling like hotcakes

Before the iPad Mini was put on sale last Friday, many criticized for its high price, have a lower resolution than the competition and bring only a few new features. Still, this did not affect sales of the device.
Through its CEO, Tim Cook, Apple wasted no time in announcing that during the weekend set a new record in sales and almost exhausted all available Mini iPad. Obviously already working to create more units and to meet the high demand from consumers, who between Friday and Sunday acquired about 3 million iPads between the iPad and the iPad Mini 4, which means that they were, on average, a million iPads per day.
It is more than likely that many consumers believe they have the obligation to take any of the new devices on the block since last Friday at 8 am and there were 800 people in line at the store that the company is in Manhattan. Not only the weather was unfavorable, but also due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy much of the city was without power, with various problems that hampered transportation and some areas were still flooded.
Below is a video of the line of people waiting to buy the new iPad.

Mini iPad shipments are delayed two weeks

While the iPad Mini was well received by some, there were others who did not sit well the idea, not to mention that Steve Jobs must be turning over in his grave right now as opposed to always launch a mini version iPad. As we announced a couple of days ago , it seems that the iPad Mini will end another shipment problems, some of which are delayed up to two weeks.
The 16GB WiFi model of the iPad Mini would take about 14 more days to reach its destination, meaning that some of those who pre-ordered may receive it in mid-November.
However, orders for black Mini iPad 64GB 32GB and buyers reach their maximum within a week, but only if they are in "certain areas". And no, we have no idea what those "certain areas", unfortunately.

The iPad Mini could have availability problems

As we told you yesterday, last Tuesday Apple announced the new iPad Mini with 7.9-inch screen. The initial price of the device was found to be $ 330, considerably more expensive than the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD both cost only $ 200.
Surely Apple expects the price of its new tablet, which is cheap compared to that of a large iPad, assuring an increase in number of sales and also a device believed to be in high demand by consumers. That may be so, but surely there will be setbacks along the way, and we almost have one on our doorstep.
Production of the iPad Mini has been divided between Foxconn and Pegatron. LG Display will provide screens to Foxconn who, while AUO is the supplier to Pegatron. Unfortunately, AUO is having production problems.
In September, could only send 100,000 AUO screens Pegatron, which obviously affects the amount of iPad Mini that can be manufactured. Is expected to be sent to 400,000 screens in October and twice in November. In addition, LG Display was sending 300,000 Foxconn screens in September, hopes to reach 1 million in October and 2.5 million in November.
If AUO fails to produce enough of the screens, it is likely that the iPad Mini has availability problems. In this case, we say that Apple might choose to work with Samsung, but because of the tensions between the companies this may not seem like a good idea.

The iPad Mini has been submitted

After all, the rumors proved to be true. In the event that took place on Tuesday, Apple finally confirmed the existence and proceeded to introduce the new iPad Mini, the smallest of the family. We must remember that this is the device that Steve Jobs did not want to see on the market, but since Cook took over, things changed.
As usual, the tablet comes in two colors: white and black. Measuring only 7.2mm thick and weighs just 308 grams of. The device's screen is 7.9 inches and the resolution is similar to the iPad 2, ie 1024 × 768 pixels. According to Apple, the new tablet is ideal for reading emails, surf the web, view photos and use iLife applications, among other things. In any case, nothing can be done in any of the other iPad.

Regarding the hardware of the iPad Mini, below deck we have a dual-core A5 processor, HD FaceTime front camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera that can record HD videos. Of course it also has the Lightning connector and include WiFi and LTE connectivity. Regarding the battery, has a battery life of 10 hours.
Mini iPad memory varies by device model. The 16GB model with WiFi and will cost $ 330, with 32GB while its price is $ 430. If you want it with 64GB will cost $ 520. If you also want to have LTE, adds about $ 130 to each model. The launch will be on November 2, but since 26 October, we pre-order.
What do you think the iPad Mini? Do you think their prices will be able to compete against other small tablets like the Nexus 7 Google or Amazon Kindle Fire HD?

Analysts estimate that sales of the iPad Mini will exceed those of the 9.7-inch iPad

We mentioned earlier that Apple could introduce the mysterious iPad Mini and technology in the event next Tuesday and then the device would be released on November 2. Analysts have already begun making their typical sales analysis and predictions for the new iPad Mini, trying to determine how many units of the device will be sold in the coming months. But beyond that it is expected that these sales also have some impact on the older brother, is the 9.7-inch iPad.
It is estimated that for every 5 million units of the iPad Mini to be vendidades, not sold 1 million units of the iPad "great." Others say that sales will be high, but the number placed in lower. In any case, it seems that the iPad Mini will end cannibalizing his brother, but keep in mind that this will depend on a number of factors, and probably the most important is the price you will have the device, thing that we talked about here .
We should note also that 7-inch tablets are very good as the Nexus 7 of Google and Amazon Kindle Fire HD that could make things difficult for Apple.

Apple would produce the iPad 2 to make room for the iPad Mini

It seems that Apple is planning to stop the production side of the iPad 2 so that there happens to occupy the new iPad Mini. Remove the iPad 2 medium may also be a clue for more clues on the price we have to pay for us with an iPad Mini.

Rob Cihra analyst believes the iPad Mini will be a very successful device and make it to sell 7 million units by 2013. To accomplish this, it makes sense to discontinue the production of the iPad 2 as the device has about 18 months since it was launched.

We must keep in mind that if the iPad Mini aims to compete against other 7-inch tablets like the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD need to have a price of about $ 200 or so.

iPad Mini would be launched on November 2

About the iPad Mini and technology enough talking. As usual, nothing has been confirmed by Apple and insurance still have to wait for it to be presented. Meanwhile, recent rumors suggest that the presentation will take place on October 23, or at least that's the date set by the apple invitations sent to the press without mentioning details of what we'll see next Tuesday.

Assuming that what has been said about the iPad Mini is true, for sure many will want to lay her hands on this small, portable version of the popular iPad. Recently there has been a new rumor suggests that the device can be pre-ordered from the 26th of October and the official launch will be on November 2.

Of course this is not entirely believable, but if we look at the history of Apple launches, Nov. 2 seems an ideal time to launch because it comes just days after the device is available for pre-order. Anyway, hope to have these details and many more in a few days, if the iPad Mini is the device that we will see in the next release of the block.

Apple sent invitations for your event Oct. 23

We said several days ago that rumors were running that Apple would implement a new event on 23 October, and found that it was true. The apple company has already sent out invitations to the press for an event to be held at the California Theatre (San Jose, CA, USA) on Monday at 1PM. As you might have guessed, it is likely that Apple released to the much rumored iPad Mini.
On the device we've talked a lot in the past, and as expected nothing has been officially confirmed, but this is not necessary as it has been very proven (and especially with the launch of the iPhone 5) that Apple is no longer able to keep their secrets as he used to.
Next week I will have more news about what Apple will announce.

The iPad Mini could have already entered production in Brazil

About the iPad Mini have spoken at length. Recently, a Japanese blog has reported that the new small tablet of Apple would have already gone live on the American continent, and more precisely in Brazil. Apparently, the famous Foxconn has decided to make the new tablet in Brazil and not in China, where the process usually takes place.
It is further said that the October 17 Apple will introduce the iPad Mini officially, and invitations for the event will be shipped on October 10. This event would be taking place five weeks after the launch of iPhone 5.

iPad screen 4 would have flexible carbon fiber body

Rumors about the iPad Mini still floating around the net, but now have encountered some new speakers on the iPad 4, a device that little has been said.
An industry analyst says the next big iPad screen would have an aspect ratio of 16:9.
"I have spoken with at least 3 people close to Apple say that there are prototypes of a new iPad with 16:9 aspect ratio "analyst Paul Mueller. "They have not made mention of any iPad Mini"
The 16:9 aspect ratio is already present in the new iPhone 5 and is commonly used on HDTVs.
In addition to the above, it seems that Apple has decided that the screen will be flexible and will have built-in speakers. Apparently Apple has created a new patent in which you see the details of a flexible display with integrated speakers and these screens would be concave or convex.
From Japan comes yet another rumor that Apple has begun ordering parts carbon fiber probably would be used in the iPad in April, although some say that they are intended for future iPhone 6, which is very unlikely since the iPhone 5 just been released.
