The most popular holiday gift for 2012 won't come from a cabbage
patch, but it won't desire you "tickle me." No, this year's well-liked
gift may be the new iPad mini, which, according to AllThingsDigital, is going
to be formally announced at an event this October. Depending on AllThingsDigital's
several sources, Apple may have two major unveiling events this fall. One on
September 12 for the iPhone 5, after which another in October to announce the
iPad mini. The concept is that the iPad mini will likely be an enormous seller
for Apple this holiday season the company doesn't need to drop two atomic bombs
on the same day. It's been rumored that the modern iPad mini will have a 7.85-inch
display, which makes it a lot more portable than the existing new iPad with
Retina display. The smaller sized size means it is going to compete directly
with a smaller class of affordable tablets that will contain a completely new
iteration of Amazon's Kindle Fire. And although we don't be familiar with the
price point of the new iPad mini yet , several apparently think that the
machine will be priced around $249 or $299 to remain competitive with the
incredibly popular $199 Nexus 7.
