Another day, another iPad mini rumour. The device it being given the same treatment that iPhone 5 got before its announcement with all the details and even the exact pictures leaking before the official unveiling. We’ve seen quite a few rumours about this iPad mini that Apple will likely show the world sometime this month. And the rumour today just adds a bit of spice to the mill.
According to AllThingsDigital, Apple will be unveiling the iPad mini on October 23. The event is expected to be held at Apple’s Town Hall Auditorium on its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters which has been home to the unveilings of the iPhone 4S, redesigned MacBook Air, and OS X Lion. This date is two days before the September quarter earnings report of Apple and three days before Microsoft releases the Surface tablet.
The first date might be a coincidence, but releasing it just days before Surface tablet might be a strategic move on Apple’s part. Where we know pretty much everything about Surface tablet, there’s nothing official about the iPad mini. So far its just vapourware. Let’s hope the rumours can be put to rest in two weeks and we get to see a great tablet.
