Rumours of an iPad Mini (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/300-ipad-mini-to-launch-in-q3/017750) have been rife for sometime (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/eight-inch-ipad-on-the-way/017023), though Apple has continued to produce 9.7-inch tablets only.
Now, Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-03/here-comes-nexus-7-nightmare-the-ipad-mini.html) reckons Apple is gearing up to release a rival with a seven to eight-inch screen.
This would be a direct hit against the Nexus, which it seems Apple is treating with concern even though other tablets have failed to offer much of a threat.
Apple's latest iPad came sporting a Retina-display, but it's thought to be ditching that for the mini model.
Presumably the decision was made to cut costs and bring pricing in line with the high-spec low-priced models like the $199 Kindle Fire.
