Does the new iPad"s identify set the stage for the iPad mini?
As yesterday's iPad occasion approached, we wondered what might transpire that will stun us. The day arrived and went, and it seems that the biggest bombshell had to do with the tablet's name. No iPad 3, no iPad HD, not even iPad 2S. Instead Apple gave us "the new iPad."
The initial feedback was confusion, adopted by speculation as to why Apple made this change. Several people went on to conclude that the following iPhone will get the same remedy, and Apple will refer to it as "the brand new iPhone." The Wall Street Journal even received an reply when it asked Phil Schiller what the reason was for the title change. His answer? "We don't want to be predictable."
That's fine and dandy, but an Apple exec is in no way going to provide you a one hundred% straight answer to a question which will relate to unreleased products. Though simplification is constantly in Apple's curiosity, I imagine that this can be related to an impending expansion of the iPad line.
I'm speaking concerning the iPad mini. You've heard the rumors; there appears to be at the least one a week. The logic is that Apple desires to chop the Kindle Hearth (and comparable devices, just like the Nook Tablet) out of the equation by offering a smaller/cheaper iPad. Supply chain "leaks" have appeared to sustain this hypothesis.
The name modification, then, could be a method of simplifying things as soon as the iPad mini hits. If yesterday's new gadget had been referred to as the iPad three, subsequently we would have had the iPad three and iPad mini sitting aspect-by-side. That's all right, but what comes about when the next iPad mini hits the marketplace? iPad 4 and iPad mini 2? It starts to get perplexing, full of twists and turns, and convoluted: all the things that Apple avoids just like the plague.
This additionally reflects what was occurring final decade with the iPod. When Apple added the iPod mini, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod contact, there have been no numbers or suffixes that were special to each year's replace… and Apple did fairly nicely with that.
That is hardly confirmation of an iPad mini. The iPad 2 is nonetheless around at a lower cost level, so Apple now has a "finances pill" on the market. Plus, as Schiller said, Apple likes to be unpredictable. If we might see their every move forward of time, we'd in all probability lose interest. But I think that, in the face of the rumors, analyst predictions, and supply chain support -- the basic "iPad" title is the best indicator we have now that there might be an iPad mini this year.
