“Christmas is still four months away – but for Apple fans, it might come as soon as October,” Eddie Wrenn reports for The Daily Mail.
“For Apple is believed to be launching an iPad Mini next month, and now fansite Apple.pro claims to have photographed the eight-inch evolution of the iPad,” Wrenn reports. “Apple is notoriously secretive on the run-up to new launches, but leaks from within the industry, including from suppliers and partners, have all but confirmed the device is on its way this Autumn.”
Wrenn reports, “The Apple Mini is believed to sport an eight-inch screen, making it a shrunken version of the iPad’s ten-inches… Apple.Pro also reports this is a 3G-capable model, meaning you can use data on the go.”

No way. Ugly as hell.
You are right, its very ugly looking ipad.
This also is NOT the ‘first time’ we’ve seen photos of a fake iPad ‘Mini’.
The rumor that never stops making me yawn. zzzzzz
Yes yes yes. Kill all 7 inch Androids, Tim.
since it is reported to have 3G-capable
it will kill all kindle crap.
Skype, Viber and Yahoo users, will LOVE IT too.
3G-capablity should have come as a option to the iTouch.
But since its was mainly for music and gaming parents preferred it won’t incur data chargers…
The iPadMini is the modern cellphone for youths.
theres the mythical iTouch again. I’d love to get me one of them
Fake. Wasn’t Youtube dropped from iOS 6? Also, the Maps app looks like the old one. Lastly, why is the background from the original iPad, and not the current image? I doubt they would have to change it from the current default to that image when taking a “spy shot.”
Why are leaked photos such horrid quality when we all have HD cameras now? I’d forgive it if it said the person who took it had a micro camera concealed in his tooth.
it was in BLN’s vagina.
Big chunky pixels cover your Photoshop tracks better. So, fake.
Fake. Wasn’t Youtube dropped from iOS 6? Also, the Maps app looks like the old one, and the “Messages” app looks wrong. I think it says “SMS”. Lastly, why is the background from the original iPad, and not the current image? I doubt they would have to change it from the current default to that image when taking a “spy shot.”
I take back my “Messages” app comment. I think the language is set to Chinese.
Old fake. The earphone port should be next to the docking connector, just as in the new iPhone. We have seen the cables!
I hope Apple is giving out free tee shirts for the first 100 customers at the store because I sure as hell am lining up for this baby.
Omg, are you going to buy this ugly looking iPad mini???
Yes.
Yes, but for the first 2000 customers.
Plus, free to all developers a iPadMini.
And, an awesome air show with men skydiving onto stage BLOWING up SlamDung S3s and Slamdung Notes.
Yeahhhhhhhh
I think it looks awesome – perfect size and if they do a white version that will be extra pretty. Why would anyone think it looks ugly? It’s a great design and looks similar to all the other great Jonathan Ives designs. I net this will be a massive seller.
if it comes with 3g or whatever and no contract …I’m buying one….I kept wishing Apple would release an Touch with a no contract 3g….
fake. No place to hold it on the sides. Impossible to use if you can’t grip it.
is there no facing cam?
if so, no good for skyping or FaceTime – whats Apple thinking?
apple isn’t thinking — its a fake asshole
device coming in October is APPLE TV – not a “mini” iPad – there is no mini ipad and not sure why this rumor continues – Apple does not compete with the little tablets and they do not sell very well – kindle and nook are on the ropes for example – not sure why this “mini” iPad rumor continues with obviously fake blurry photos as well
your an idiot. It’s pretty much confined to me iPad mini. In court Apple admitted to be working on one. AppleTV was just recently refreshed and isn’t due for another update for a while.
You might want to learn to spell before labeling fellow commenters idiots. It does not confine you’re “your an idiot,” and confirms the wrong target.
Not sure its real or not, but I think its beautiful. How could it not be. Clean design, great proportions.
