Chronicle of an announced death: Apple will abandon the iPad mini

It is something that we suspected for a long time, especially after the release of the new 5,5-inch iPhone and the updates so poor that the iPad mini has had a link to the latest renovations, but it is still news that sources close to the company confirm that Apple plans to abandon the little one of the tablets which was once the star of its category but whose presence nowadays does not convince almost anyone, neither for its benefits nor its price. Despite the fact that many users are still fans of the 7,9-inch tablet, the iPad mini has its days numbered.

BGR says so, citing sources close to the company. Although it is not known when the announcement of the disappearance of the iPad mini will arrive, they have confirmed that it will be sooner rather than later. Nobody is surprised, especially after seeing the movements that Apple has given with this tablet. Launched in October 2012, the iPad mini was a revolution mainly because Steve Jobs had made clear his opposition to a tablet with the smaller screen. With a thick and heavy 9,7-inch iPad at that time, many of us went to this much lighter iPad. But the arrival of new thinner and lighter iPads, and especially the new 5,5-inch iPhone Plus size left the small iPad at a disadvantage that has been increased by the lack of relevant updates of the last generations, even more so. when now it is even more expensive than the iPad 2017.

Right now we have a single 128GB iPad mini model that In its WiFi mode it has a price of € 479 and in its LTE mode with data connectivity it has a price of € 639. If you are one of those who was waiting for an update of this tablet at the next WWDC in June, it seems that it will not be the case. Although with Apple you never know.

    Apple began to produce products that do practically the same thing that in the end there is always a victim, I happened to the ipod including the ipod touch that was a victim of the iphone, the ipod mini and nano that are victims of the apple watch and now the ipad mini who is a victim of the iphone plus and the ipad of 9 ″ if apple does not make its products different from each other, including its ranges, it will end up crashing and entangling itself

    Whatever Apple does, it will always succeed, even if it's temporary. And besides, they will all follow him like little lambs. If Apple decides to come up with a gay iPad with a simple rainbow in one corner, it doesn't take two days for the competition to come up with something similar. And you know!

    An iphone plus will never be compared to an ipad mini. You have to be stupid and retarded to eliminate one of the best tech products out there today. And this I write very comfortably from my ipad mini which can NEVER be replaced by any iphone plus.
