iPad Mini, iPad Nano, iPad miniā¦ different names for a rumor that Apple not only has not confirmed at any time, but also the founder and brain of the company until his death, Steve Jobs, specifically denied on some occasions. Despite everything, for some time now, suspicions have been reactivated that the Cupertino company may launch a tablet with a screen smaller than the usual 9.7 inches.
According to sources from the North American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, the new device would have a panel of almost eight inches. Specifically, the screen of this unknown and mysterious iPad would reach 7.85 inches, losing just a couple of inches compared to the reference tablet. It would thus be slightly above the Kindle Fire, the tablet with a seven-inch panel whose commercial growth has been able to make Apple sweat slightly in the face of long-term expectations.
As for the screen resolution that the new iPad of reduced dimensions would reach, the same sources referred to by the aforementioned American media point out that it would repeat the same quality as the editions that we have known since 2010. Ie that despite its alleged 7.85 inches, the new terminal would have a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, ie just half of what is rumored to spend the iPad 3 "" 2,048 x 1,536 pixels "".
Despite everything, from The Wall Street Journal they do not point out if the launch of this terminal would coincide with that of the iPad 3, which according to various media could be announced for Wednesday, March 7, with a view to going on sale during the following week in some markets, to continue its expansion in the coming weeks. In spite of everything, it is very likely that as usual until the week before the supposed presentation Apple will not decide to announce it officially.
