Apple has a prototype iPad youngest in their laboratories. This was confirmed by John Gruber, known blogger space Daring Fireball. Apparently, the Cupertino are testing a smaller version of the original iPhone, a mini iPad – but still not decided to introduce him to society, perhaps taking into account the words of the late Steve Jobs.
John Gruber is a character with enough contacts in the technology industry. Moreover, recently had the opportunity to test, exclusively, the latest version of Apple’s operating system: Mac OS X Mountain Lion. And now confirms that the Cupertino are testing a version of your tablet, a mini iPhone of 7.85 inches diagonally and getting a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, it offered the first version of the invention.
However, the editor himself Daring Fireball says that users should not be surprised if this prototype ever comes to light. Moreover, says that Apple always research before launching a product to market, the iPhone had several models with different screen sizes. However, we must take into account the words of Steve Jobs days before his death, seven-inch tablets had no future.
But it is also true that models such as the Fire Kindle from Amazon or Samsung Galaxy Tab proved popular with customers. Moreover, the economic tablet from Amazon, which surely is not for sale in Spain snatched market share to iPhone in recent months, making the latter share came down about 70 percent do not reach 60 percent.
On the other hand, a few weeks ago it was said more about this course iPad mini. It was rumored that the price would be below 300 euros and that the screen make the best use the front leaving a very thin frame . Moreover, in these rumors originated by DigiTimes had suggested that Apple wanted to get rival tablets sector, although this would further lower the price. Recall that the Kindle Fire has a price below 200 euros and Google, the next to step into the sector, would also be working on a tablet economic .
Finally, another aspect that have filed for the latest information is that this mini iPhone screen of 7.85 inches would have a density less than what might be found in models like the iPhone 4S or the new iPhone . More specifically, there is talk of a density of 163 pixels per inch (PPI), while the other two teams at a density of 326 PPI and 264 PPI respectively.
Steve Jobs said that the seven-inch tablets had no future in the market. However, it is also conceivable that not all users have the same preferences. And a tablet of about ten inches may be too large. On the other hand, a recent study commented that users wanted smartphones with screens larger than the one with the Apple mobile, something that also criticized the company founder.
