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.




Apple should publicly apologize to Samsung



Interesting. Apple lost a lawsuit against Samsung in England a couple of days ago and now the company should apologize to rival South Korean public. As part of this, on the Apple website for the UK should see a link to inform visitors about the trial and also apple should remove their ads from leading British newspapers.
One of the judges, which certainly have an iPad, has decided to explain this: "Because this case (and parallel cases in other countries) have generated a lot of publicity, to avoid confusion will explain what happened and did not happen at trial ". Normally, the details of a trial are unknown to the public, but being Apple a company that is present in the lives of many people, becomes a special case, as was explained.
For any company there is something that is a nightmare, and that is, among other things, having to publicly apologize to competition.
