Purported iPad Mini parts leak as WSJ reports production has started
Hey look, another round of purported iPad Mini parts have surfaced, this time courtesy of Ukrainian iPhone. Conveniently enough, the Wall Street Journal also happens to be reporting that its sources have confirmed "mass production" of the still unannounced slate has begun BY Apple's "Asian suppliers." This time around, we're looking at an anodized black version of the familiar backplate and its insides. As9to5Mac points out, it's housing a SIM card tray, similar antenna spacers to the current iPhone crop and a similar layout to the current iPod Touch. Alongside that is a separate digitizer in white, hinting that we'll see the final device in the same colorways as the iPhone 5.WSJ also notes that its sources state this tab's LCD screen is indeed 7.85-inches, being sourced from both LG and AU Optronics. Naturally, pricing is almost definitely set to be cheaper than the full-size iPad -- here's to waiting for an invite to thesupposed unveiling event set for this month.
