Nu ska massproduktionen av en Ipad Mini ha börjat, enligt rykten från Wall Street Journal.
"Apple Inc.'s Asian component suppliers have started mass production of a new tablet computer smaller than the current iPad, people with knowledge of the situation said, as the Silicon Valley company tries to stay competitive against rivals such as Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc.that are offering smaller, less-expensive alternatives to the iPad."
Tidigare rykten har pratat om en mindre Ipad med 7,85 tum stor skärm. Den pluttigare surfplattan sägs ska släppas under oktober.
