The launch of the iPad mini 2 would be delayed so as not to harm the iPad 5

Little by little things begin to seem somewhat clearer regarding the date of launch of the next generations of the two tablets of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. In the case of iPad 5 there is less and less doubt that its presentation will take place after the summer, probably in the month of September. Regarding the iPad mini 2 there is a bit more uncertainty, but more and more sources are pointing in the same direction: his debut would be after the iPad 5It seems that in order not to harm the sales of this one.

The success of the iPad mini it is evident and the fact that cannibalized much of his older brother's lawsuit it is also already a recognized fact. As we have commented on other occasions, in Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), They have never been concerned about it since they have always considered good news that the sales of one of their products are harmed by another of their products and not by those of the competition, and they had adopted the same attitude, for example, towards to cannibalization of the sales of the MacBook Air by the iPad.

The latest information, however, seems to question this supposed complacency of those in Cupertino with the lower sales of their 9.7-inch tablet due to the success of the 7.9-inch, and suggest that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would not be willing to repeat the strategy followed in 2012, with the presentation at the same event of the iPad 4 and iPad mini, which contributed so much to leaving the new generation of its iconic tablet in the background. In order not to repeat the mistake, this year the apple company would have opted for two presentations relatively distant in time.

This would mainly affect the launch of the iPad mini 2, since the presentation of the iPad 5 would remain, as had been speculated in recent times, for the month of September. The new generation of the compact tablet from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, however, its launch would be delayed until End of the year, making her debut a few months after her older sister, just in time to hit the holiday shopping lists. The truth is that the problems that those of Cupertino were finding in the production of the iPad miniRetina seemed to make a release at an earlier date impossible, in any case.
