After months long, Apple has finally announced the very much anticipated iPad Mini. The launch officially happened early this morning at the California Theater in San Jose, California. And just as we suspected, the highly-anticipated tablet is a smaller and cheaper version of Apple’s super popular iPad.
Said to be the fourth generation iPad, this 7.9-inch one’s going to kick the tech giant’s competitors in the butt. For starters, it is lighter, weighing at only 0.63 pounds.

It’s also power-packed, featuring:
- An A6X processor
- 5 megapixel iSight camera
- An expanded LTE chipset
- Front-facing camera with FaceTime
- 720p video capture
- Faster Wi-Fi
- Lightening connector
How’s that for fierce?
And which one would you go for? The 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB Wi-Fi only model? Or the 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB Wi-Fi and 4G model? The possibilities are boundless. The iPad Mini will come in two colours, white and slate black, priced from USD329 onwards, and it will hit the stores in the United States starting November. Early Christmas gift ideas, anyone?
Start making a beeline for it!
