While Apple has been silent on the topic, rumors about a smaller iPad are picking up, and a German Web site claims to have the goods on the device’s specs and pricing.
MobileGeeks has posted what is reported to be a screenshot from a European electronics retailer’s inventory system; the screenshot shows “iPad Mini” versions and prices. Using the Google Translate feature, one can see that, if true, Apple will release 8, 16, 32 and 64-GB versions of the device. Each will come in both WiFi-only and Wi-Fi + cellular (presumably 4G LTE) configurations.
The biggest news from this post is the purported pricing. According to the cited spreadsheet, the smallest, WiFi-only device will retail at $322. That figure is a best guess, given the Euro-to-dollar exchange rate. In addition, it is unclear whether that price reflects the 19 percent value-added-tax which European markets often include in advertised prices.
Apple watchers have been pointing to late October as the probable timeframe for an official announcement to come out of Cupertino, meaning we may only be a few weeks away from actually seeing this new device in action.
