7.85-inch iPad will cost $ 199

After Steve Jobs' remarks that the 7-inch tablet has no right to existence as such, most users of Apple products is fair to assume that the company had not implemented the project of production of reduced tablet.

According to John Gruber, one of the most respected and quoted bloggers Mac-community, a programmer and editor tehnoblog Daring Fireball, the production of 7.85-inch iPad makes sense. The size of the screen, the tablet will be reduced 66% of the physical area of ​​the screen "elder brother", the figure is 45% higher than the actual screen size of tablets, or as a Kindle Fire Samsung Galaxy Tab.

With regard to the final cost of the tablet, Gruber believes that the most optimal price for the so-called iPad mini would be $ 199. This is facilitated by a new food chain and the intended display resolution of 1024x768, the price of which, by the way, the screen below the Nexus 7 with a resolution of 1280x720.

No official confirmation from Apple's upcoming release of the tablet has been reported. Although, as stated Gruber and some other sources, the company is already testing a new tablet, there is still no guarantee that the iPad Mini will hit the stores.
