[iPad] 6 Rumored Features of Apple iPad Mini


With September 12th, 2012 around the corner and the rumors of the ‘rumored iPad Mini’ being unveiled along with the iPhone 5 on the same day, it’s time to round up all that we know about the Mini via rumors and come up with a list of features that might feature in the tablet.


So far we are familiar with the rumors of the tablet being smaller and cheaper. Here are some more features about the iPad Mini.


1. Would It Look It Like iPhone or iPod Touch!


Ever since the rumors of iPad Mini came out, more rumors about its features and looks started doing the rounds. It is believed that the Mini will not look like the other iPad but instead look like either the iPod Touch or iPhone.


It is being said that the new iPad will be 7.2mm thick which makes it much slimmer than the 9.4 mm thick iPad. The headphone jack might just be located near the dock which will immediately mean a thinner tablet. The volume buttons of the upcoming device are also said to be separated, rather than the commonly used rocker.




2. Dock Port to Be Smaller


The dock connector for both the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini are expected to be smaller. The speculation regarding the number of pins that the dock connector would have is yet to be clarified by Apple.


According to the various rumors and speculations that are floating around the number of pins can be as much as 19 or just 8. Lesser number of pins would naturally mean a smaller dock. All this can be said with a degree of confidence after viewing the leaked photos of the dock port by the iResQ repair lab. So we are sure of one thing that the dock connector will definitely be smaller.




3. Will it be Seven Inches?


With the 7-inch tablets taking the market by storm, Apple decided that they didn’t want to be left behind. So on September 12th with the release of their iPad Mini they will also join the 7-inch tablet bandwagon. The tablet is rumored to have a 7.85 inch Retina Display. According to many sources close to Apple, the screen of this measurement is already in production.  So we know that the tablet will not be 7 inches.




4. Light on the Pocket?


The price has been a hot topic for discussion among the gadget enthusiast. Generally all the goodies that come out of an Apple bag always come with a huge and hefty price tag which isn’t affordable by many. But since the new tablet from Apple is going to be a smaller one there are rumors that are doing the rounds which indicate that the price of the Mini also might just be on the lower and more affordable side.


Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle will face a serious threat from iPad Mini if the prices of the rumored Mini are true. The price of the Mini is expected to fall anywhere between 11,000 to 14,000





5. All-New iOS 6


This is not a rumor but something we can be sure about, keeping in mind the past track record of Apple. Everything Apple launches a new product it makes sure that it is loaded with the latest operating system.


Since the company they launched their new operating system iOS 6 in June 2012, we can be sure that the iPad Mini will function on this latest operating system. The new iOS 6 comes loaded with over 200 new features which include new Map apps, improved Siri, Facebook integration and Pocket Passport.


So be all set to have the new and latest operating system on the new iPad Mini.





6. Runs on Quad-Core Processor


The iPad Mini from Apple is rumored to be powered by a quad core processor and it would come along with a lot of new features like NFC, USB port and Thunderbolt. Apart from this the tablet will also have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well.


All we hope is that the new iPad Mini tablet lives up to all the hype and sensation created around it.
