According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will launch the next-gen iPad mini near the end of 2023 or in the first quarter of 2024. Kuo's information contradicts the previous rumours saying that the company will replace the compact-size iPad with a foldable tablet.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that there could be a possibility that Apple might stop producing the iPad Mini as soon as they release a foldable iPhone. While not much is known in regards to when the foldable iPhone will be unveiled, this report gives us an idea on what’s Apple planning in the future.

Apple has officially announced the new iPads namely the iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPad Pro as well as various new services during the Apple Event that happened at the Steve Jobs Theater located in Cupertino, California.

If you've been wanting one and wondering which Apple iPad mini tablet to buy then read on and find out.

The Apple iPad mini is the first generation 7.9-inch tablet from Apple while the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is the official next generation tablet after the first Samsung Galaxy Tab (despite there being several other tablets that came directly after the first Galaxy Tab). Both fit the 7-inch touchscreen tablet class but each device has it's own tech specs, features and pricing. The main question that we're looking to answer this time is which device is better in this comparison between the Apple iPad mini and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Check out the full comparison in this article.

On top of all the other Apple announcements, the Apple Malaysia store managed to put in the pricing for the Apple iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C and the previous Apple iPad mini (with no Retina Display). As the images show these are listed as:

• Apple iPhone 5C 16GB ~ RM1999
• Apple iPhone 5C 32GB ~ RM2399
• Apple iPhone 5S 16GB ~ RM2399

• Apple iPhone 5S 64GB ~ RM3159

Usually when a tech device like a smartphone or a tablet is called a Mini, it means that it is a cut down or lower-end version of the main device that it takes it's name from. This seems to be the general feeling that most users get before thinking about getting the Apple iPad Mini. However, they couldn't be further from the truth as this little 7.9-inch tablet packs in a whole bunch of features within a just as excellently designed casing as the original Apple iPad. If you liked the cellular version of the Apple iPad then you also may like the cellular version of the Apple iPad Mini, but is it the tablet for you? Read on and find out in our review of the Apple iPad Mini.

One of the main issues most people had with the Apple iPad Mini was the fact that it didn't have a Retina display. The Retina display was the one feature that made the Apple iPad such a big thing, so why didn't Apple put in one for the iPad mini? The answer is probably because they wanted to release a Retina-enabled iPad Mini later as current rumours seem to indicate. According to these rumours this new Retina screen enabled iPad Mini is set for release sometime in Q3 of 2013.
