Apple Wrote Inaccurate Statement

On the 18th of October, Apple were forced to publish a small statement as Samsung were not found guilty of infringing Apple's patent. They only have 48 hours to re-write the statement on their site, because the previous notice made it unclear that rivals Samsung were not found guilty of copying the iPad's simple design. Moreover, the makers of the Galaxy tab complained that Apple's statement wasn't in line with the court order. The judges explained that the current statement has to be removed within the next 24 hours, followed by a new one.

Michael Beloff was representing Apple in court and asked if the company could have a further two weeks to put the new statement up on their site. The judge was reasonable and firmly denied the huge request. The statement wasn't ruled out to punish the tech giants; it had to be written to make it clear to people that Samsung did nothing wrong in terms of infringement. It seems that Apple have made a big fuss over such a small matter, the last thing they want is to be issued with a fine because of the 'misunderstanding'.

iPad Mini?

Recently there have been a lot of rumours about the 'still to be' iPad mini. No one knows if they are true, but many believe what they read. Apple have sent out invitations, which had 'We've got a little more to show you' written on them; to an event on the 23rd of October that will hopefully reveal the largely anticipated device. 

It is thought that it will come with the new Lightening connector and maybe an updated and more powerful A6 chip. If this chip is included, then the gaming experience will certainly be a lot better than any other tablet in the market. The iPad mini, as the name suggests, will be smaller than the current line up; it is said that it will have a 7.8 inch screen, the current tablets have always had a 10 inch display. This exciting new device will go on sale on the 2nd of November this year, just in time with the Christmas rush. Rumours suggest that the tablet will be sold at a price of £150 to £200, which means that people who can't afford the current iPad can now own a smaller, but better, one.

The iPad Mini is set to battle with the other smaller tablets including Google's Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD. Right now, it looks like it will win everyone over, as it will have better features and a much more respectable price. Will Apple's new tablet cause a stir and up their market value? The iPhone 5 hasn't done that yet, but the iPad Mini might...
