Apple has officially sent out invitations for an event being held on October 23rd. This will undoubtedly be the announcement of the illustrious iPad Mini. But my question is, does anyone care?
There were leaks upon leaks concerning the iPhone 5 months before it was made official. This can be said for the Mini as well, but it just doesn't seem to have the same kind of hype behind. Millions of people eagerly waiting the release of Apple's 6th generation handset. But is anyone excited for the iPad Mini? It doesn't seem like it.
Apple took the tablet by storm with the iPad, which has constantly been the #1 selling tablet since the first generation debuted in 2010. This, I think, is one of the reasons that people don't seem to care as much about the iPad Mini; most people already have an iPad. Don't get me wrong, people will still buy. There will be people that it will appeal to. Maybe people who want something smaller for their kids, or maybe people with smaller hands. In any case, if Apple makes it then people will buy it. But the question is not whether or not Apple will profit from this little guy, it's whether or not people are really excited for it, and frankly I don't really think they are.
But what about you? Are you dying to get your hands on the iPad Mini?
