The iPad Mini has made its debut on Tuesday and has led to mixed opinions on various social media sites, such as Twitter.
The latest addition to the iPad series is 23 percent thinner and 53 percent lighter compared to the iPad 3 with a glass design of 7.2mm thin and weights 0.68 pounds.
Apple Inc.'s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phillip Schiller confirmed the specs, stating, "iPad mini is every inch an iPad. With its gorgeous 7.9-inch display, iPad mini features the same number of pixels as the original iPad and iPad 2, so you can run more than 275,000 apps designed specifically for iPad. iPad mini is as thin as a pencil and as light as a pad of paper, yet packs a fast A5 chip, FaceTime HD and 5 megapixel iSight cameras and ultrafast wireless-all while delivering up to 10 hours of battery life."
The iPad Mini will be available for pre-orders on Friday, Oct. 26 on Apple.com and will be in their retail stores starting Nov. 2 at 8 a.m., however, only the Wi-Fi model. The iPad Mini with Wi-Fi and Cellular will be available later in November.
