iPad Mini to launch in October?

Rumours suggest Apple will release a smaller iPad this Autumn at a lower price point.

Dubbed the iPad Mini, the new device will reportedly boast a 7-inch Retina Display, according to iMore (via Stuff). It will initially only be available as an 8GB model.

Sources also claim it will retail for between $200 and $250 – the equivalent of 125 to 155.

Apparently the iPad mini will be identical to the current 9.7-inch iPad, meaning the tablet’s 2048×1536 resolution will be delivered at 365ppi.

Naturally, nothing official has emerged from Apple yet be we’ll be sure to let you know if and when it does.
