Apple is expected to have slimmer bezels for the smaller version of the iPad. This device, called the iPad Mini for the time being, will likely have a display size of 7.85 inches. This is slightly larger than the present offerings in 7-inch tablets available today, which could be one selling point for this device.
This tablet will sport a design that will compete with similar models from companies like Samsung Electronics and Amazon, which are among its top rivals in the tablet niche. Last year, Amazon took the electronics world by storm as the Kindle Fire emerged as the second most successful tablet in terms of sales.
Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch two next-generation Samsung Galaxy Tab slates with 7 and 10.1-inch displays. The iPad Mini is expected to have a price similar with these tablets, making it a viable competitor once it is launched.
The iPad Mini, however, will probably not have the already-famous Retina Display found on the new iPad released just this March. Rather, it will have a IPS/FFS panels courtesy of LG display and AU Optronics (AUO).
It is also possible that this device could be the key for bolstering Apple's eTextbook program, given its price and portability.
