That’s right! The rumors were true. Apple has finally unveiled the iPad Mini and it will be starting from a very reasonable price of $329. Let’s dive right on into the OFFICIAL iPad Mini specs, shall we?
DIMENSIONS:
- 7.2mm thin
- 53 percent lighter
- .68 pounds
DESIGN:
- Thinner bezels
- Ultra rounded edges
- Updated smart covers
- White and Black models
- Of course, a unibody design
DISPLAY:
- 7.9-inches
- LCD
- 1,024 x 768 resolution
- All software for original iPad works on iPad mini because they share the same screen resolution.
Phil Schiller put the iPad Mini up against the Nexus 7 on stage, and showed that the display is AT LEAST 49 percent larger in portrait, and 67 percent larger in landscape. This is quite impressive for a “mini.”
Schiller also showed off Yelp!, eBay and Pandora apps on both tablets, which showed the difference between apps developed specifically for a tablet versus apps that have been stretched from a smartphone.

The iPad Mini will be even more portable than its big brother, and perhaps a bit more wieldy, too, making it much easier to take photos with than the regular iPad.
Apple will start taking pre-orders for the iPad Mini on October 26, and Wifi versions will ship on November 2. Will you be one to buy the new iPad Mini?
