Over the past few months there have been many indications pointing to an early launch of the iPad mini with Retina Display. They were betting that it would arrive in the second quarter of the year, but we have received information from China that contradicts those rumors and that it is committed to a presentation in the second half of the year together with the fifth generation large tablet Apple.
CNYes, a Chinese publication, is betting we won't see it until the third quarter. In other words, it would fulfill the one-year cycle of Cupertino products and that alteration in time that we saw in the last major event would be restored. The main argument made by the Asian web is that Apple doesn't need a premature release Not at all. Sales of your little tablet are doing so well that there is no reason to advance the presentation.
This argument is well founded given that the iPad mini is outselling the iPad 4, as we collected in this article. The arrival of strong competitors on the Android side has reduced the market share of the Californian company's tablets but, in no case, has it prevented its individual numbers improve overwhelmingly.
At Apple they don't seem to care a pitch closest in time to a new Nexus 7. For May, coinciding with the Google I / O, we will surely see this review of the successful 7-inch Android tablet. Which will count with a Full HD screen That would add pressure to those in Cupertino since the screen of its 7,9-inch tablet has been one of the focuses of criticism.
According to CNYes, the design of the small device will remain almost the same, regardless of the change in resolution of its panel. However, in the case of the iPad 5 they agree with most of the press that it will change its appearance towards a thinner and lighter model with a redesign of the aluminum case.
