Apple postponed the presentation of the iPad Mini from October to a later date due to production problems. This is reported by the DigiTimes resource.
Since October 10, the media has been tensely waiting for invitations to the presentation of the new product. But, according to the same DigiTimes, Apple postponed the presentation and, accordingly, the release of another of its new devices at a later date. According to RIA Novosti, the presentation of the iPad Mini should be expected closer to the New Year holidays.
The presentation was postponed due to a shortage of the necessary components for the production of the iPad Mini by the Taiwanese partners of the Apple company. By the way, more recently, there was also a message about delays in deliveries and iPhone 5.
UPDATE:
Today, the American AllThingsD, citing sources close to the company, said that the presentation of the mini-iPad will take place on October 23.
