Forget iPad Mini: Leak Shows Purported iPad 4 Parts
Purported images of next-generation iPad's Lightning dock connector emerge.
Ahead of the iPad Mini announcement event taking place tomorrow, images of a purported iPad 4 Lightning dock connector has been leaked.
In order to add credence, the photos in question features a comparison of both the Lightning dock connector for an iPad 4 and the dock for the iPad Mini. The new dock seemingly confirms that the iPad 3's next major successor is being redesigned to support several new components.
In addition to the iPad Mini and the aforementioned next-generation iPad, Apple is said to be preparing another tablet-related announcement for tomorrow's media event. The company is also rumored to be debuting a revised 9.7-inch Retina model of the device.
The latter is likely to receive a Lightning connector as the iPhone 5 did, while its price will match the price points stemming from its predecessors.
Apple is expected to announce the iPad Mini, a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro and a new lineup of Mac Minis tomorrow.


Interesting = Everything else > Apple Products
Why is there so much news on this stuff? Where's the news for all of these new laptops that are being released left, right and center?
Guessing, because Apple sold 17 million iPad's and that's more $$$ than #1 PC maker Lenovo combined? Or Lenovo + HP combined sold $36B worth of everything and its less than Apple's projected quarterly results.
Apple is a real giant and amount of related news is reflecting it.

Lol, what a deluded AppT%@d you are.
Irony at it's finest.
from a consumer point of view, it doesn't make sense to upgrade to something pointless that makes existing products non compatible/require an adapter that has a steep price.
enough to dedicate this ammount to one product that people only buy because they are indoctranated as an art student, or mindlessly but because the "cool" people have it.
ill give apple the success of the first iphone, first of its kind, not first ever, but first to catch on.
however everything after that is sheep.
