Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s new product launch date is near and there are no rumors; that’s next to impossible. So according to the already heated up rumors, production has already started on the unannounced tablet although there is no official confirmation to it.
The Wall street journal quoted the people familiar with the matter saying that mass production has already been started in Apple’s Asian component suppliers who make the iPad mini’s parts.
Sources quoted that the iPad’s smaller version will come with a resolution lower than Apple’s third generation iPad (may be sacrificing retina display in contradiction to earlier rumors) bearing a 7.85 display. The new device is hugely anticipated to ditch older 30-pin connector on current iPad and is predicted to bear a lightning connector following the steps of iPhone5.
It is highly probable that new iPad will resemble a lot with large iPod touch, only to be different in terms of operating system matching the standard iPad.
It may not be too long to wait for the real product as sources have come to know that invitations will be sent to media on October 10th and actual event is expected to take place on October 17th and that whatever the product name, it is likely to hit the stores on Friday October 26th, a week later than the announcement date.
After experiencing the supply shortages for its latest iPhone5, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is more likely to given go-ahead signal to its suppliers to start making the so called”iPad Mini” in order to save the company from further embarrassment at global stage.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) has already faced criticism for its shortage of supply but more embarrassing is its introduction of beleaguered maps. Apple’s Maps is so intelligent being dubbed as iMap by few, that it can swing 2.7 KM long Golden Gate Bridge in Gibraltar within no time.
But beside all the criticism of maps, the application still have a feature which beats Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), and that is its less consumption of data. It consumed 20% of the data as compared to Google Maps in a series of analysis test performed by Onavo. Test results show that Google Maps, on average, used 1.3 Mb data whereas Apple Maps downloaded only 271 Kb.
Users normally refer to maps when they are out and about, using 3G or 4G networks usually eating up users’ data plan but it is not considered a problem on Wi-Fi connections.
But this comes into play only when data can deliver reliability in which Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Maps lack.
