Purported Leaked Images of iPad Mini Emerge

A week left until the rumored Apple press event that will apparently reveal all.

Ahead of the purported iPad Mini announcement on October 17, alleged leaked images of the tablet have emerged.

9to5Mac researcher Sonny Dickson revealed a series of images of the iPad Mini sitting next to the existing third-generation iPad and the iPhone 5 via his Twitter account. On the site itself, 9to5Mac posted mockup screenshots of the tablet, with the blog then pointing towards Dickson's images that are "alleged leaked photos of the iPad Mini."

The aforementioned images showcase the iPad Mini sitting on top of the iPad 3, but don't show the device turned on or its front side. Head on over to 9to5Mac for the full gallery.

The price won't be small, that's for sure!

I thought the iPhone 5 WAS the iPad mini?

It's only a week left for the official launch date. Quick, someone do a 2-part review for this device.

It's funny how you can anticipate the content of an article just by seeing the editors name, Zak Islam promotes Apple in every article and another one bashes Windows with every opportunity.

Looks like a Samsung Galaxy Note to me. Samsung should sue Apple for 1B.

Still waiting for Apple to put out a affordable tablet, I don't consider their current prices all that affordable for something that is mainly for media consumption. Where as the same price will net me a decent laptop, rather prefer the prices of the new Nooks that came out and newer Kindle Fires, their in the right price point where I think these tablets should be at.

How long till Apple starts suing other tablet makers over "IT'S" invention of the 7" form factor?

I love how apple can' think of any thing new. they take the one success they have a shrink it or make it larger and are like look it revolutionary. But it's the same thing just a difrent size.

Considering they are the top selling products in their space, it does make sense they receive the attention they do. Just like 33%-50% of all the android smartphone article are about the S3.

In all fairness there has not been any official statement about this product by Apple claiming anything you have said. They have made some statements that fit your characterization in the past, but lets wait to throw rocks until they have.

It will probably cost $300, which gives nobody a reason to buy it over the Kindle Fire HD or the Nexus 7.

It will probably be pretty nice, but I'm not going back to being locked into Apple's ecosystem. Screw Apple.

I never noticed that but every Apple Article on the front page is from him.

My best guess is there will be a $199 iPad Mini which is a key amount for 'impulse buying' and I have no doubts there will be more expensive versions. The $199 ($200) is an important target to hit...we'll see.
