Few things have been heard of iPad Mini after launch iPhone 5, but those from Fortune announced today that on October 10 Apple would send invitations to an event where it could present the new tablet. The information from Fortune comes from an Apple investor who learned it from several sources, and if he is right, then the product would be presented on October 17 and launched on November 2. The information received by Fortune is not certain, they do not support it because they received it from a single source, but that does not mean that it is not true.
FORTUNE — This is a rumor we have no reason to believe except it comes from a major Apple investor who says he's heard it from "multiple sources." According to our source, who asked not to be named, there appears to be some truth to the widespread rumors that Apple is preparing to launch a smaller and cheaper version of the iPad — often called the iPad mini or iPad air and usually described as having a 7.85-inch screen. If the rumor is true, and if Apple follows its usual scheduling protocol, that would suggest a special event to unveil the product on Wednesday, Oct. 17, with a launch day of Friday Nov. 2 — plenty of time to capture holiday sales.
