Various Apple products could delay launch

Ming-chi Kuo, analyst at  KGI Securities, said, based on his research, that some mobile products that Apple planned to launch this year could be delayed due to problems at the level of development. What products are we talking about? Well are 3 highly anticipated devices: the iPhone 5S, iPad 2 and iPhone Mini low cost . With the exception of the second generation of the iPad Mini, much has already been said about these devices before. Recall that the iPhone 5S will be available in different sizes and have a tech fingerprint recognition, it is said that it has entered production but can not be sure as we see rumors contradict each other sometimes.

It seems that in case of occurrence of a delay in the launch of the iPhone 5S, would be due to the implementation of the technology of digital fingerprint reader. The sensor will be located below the Home button. It is also said that the delay could be due to development problems iOS 7 might be related also with the fingerprint sensor.

Regarding the low-cost iPhone, it seems that the plastic housing of the device is still difficult to manufacture, while the delay of iPad Mini 2 is due to a problem with the screen, which would be a Retina type.

Do you plan to buy any of these products once they go on sale?

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.

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.
