There has been a great clamor from consumers for Apple to release an iPad mini or a 7-inch tablet but just like Steve Jobs’ said in a statement, small iPad will not be added in their product line in the near future. However, we may see a cheaper iPad 2 next year.
Contrary to rumors going around, Apple will not release a smaller iPad. There are various reasons on why this will happen. However, one of the reasons is former Apple owner Steve Jobs’ statement towards the miniature device. “One naturally thinks that a 7-inch screen would offer 70 per cent of the benefits of a 10-inch screen,” Jobs said during a 2010 earnings call. “Unfortunately, this is far from the truth. … The reason we [won't] make a 7-inch tablet isn’t because we don’t want to hit [a lower] price point, it’s because we think the screen is too small to express the software. As a software driven company, we think about the software strategies first.”
There are rumors that Apple is testing the device but the company will not be releasing its version next year. Part of the appeal of a smaller tablet is the price point. Smaller tablets are usually priced in the mid-level price range, below $400. Blair thinks Apple will use a different strategy to hit that tier:
“We believe Apple is highly likely to keep the iPad 2 on the production line after the launch of iPad 3 and offer it at a lower price point in an effort to address demand at the mid-tier, what we view as the $249 to $499 range. We believe iPad 2′s price could drop to the $349 to $399 range with Apple offering a single 16GB model.”
It is expected that the price of the iPad 2 will be lower since a next generation of tablet is expected to be introduced next year. According to the Taiwanese news agency DigiTimes, tech giant Apple, Inc. will be releasing its much-awaited next generation of iPad in the next three to four months.
DigiTimes reported that their sources from the Apple’s supply chain said that the production for the iPad 3 ramped up and the production of current generation of iPad decreased. Specifically, the source of the news agency confirmed that OEM production of the iPad 2 will remain high, producing 14 to 15 million units by the fourth quarter of 2011 but will drastically decline to 4 to 5 million units on the first quarter of 2012 to pave the way for the new iPad.

Computer world and The Korean Times reported that tech giant Apple is currently working on new devices, a small iPad and an iPhone with a larger screen.
According to The Korean Times, the rumor is from a reliable source in the industry. According to the insider, Apple and LG Display are in talks of the future iOS devices. This includes iPad mini and iPhone 5. Another meeting between the two famous tech companies will take place in the next few days and one of the agenda in the meeting is the introduction of a tablet that has 7.35-inch size.
Another agenda is the new iPhone that will feature a 4-inch display by LG Display. The screen is half an inch larger than the current screen sported by the iPhone 4S. The retina display resolution will not be changed as LCD is a great alternative to cut the cost.
It was recently reported that the 4-inch iPhone is a prototype. However, it was discarded as Steve Jobs did not want the iOS platform to be fragmented with different screen sizes. People are also skeptical with the 7-inch Apple iPad. Steve Jobs said the following in a conference last year:
“Just a handful of credible entrants. Almost all use 7-inch screen, compared to iPad at nearly 10 screen. 7-inch screen is only 45% as large as iPad’s screen. Hold an iPad in portrait view and draw a horizontal line halfway down. What’s left is a 7-inch screen…too small. There are clear limits to how close elements can be on the screen before users can’t touch accurately. We believe 10-inch screen is minimum necessary.
The reason we won’t make a 7-inch tablet isn’t because we don’t want to hit that price point, it’s because we think the screen is too small to express the software.
We know developers aren’t going to deal well with these different sizes and they have to change their software every time the screen size changes.
When we make decisions on 7-inch tablets it’s not about cost, it’s about the value of the product when you factor in the software.
We’re all about making the best products at aggressive prices and that’s what we do, and that’s what we will do with the iPad and iPod.”
