iPad Mini could take 15% of full-size iPad sales

Analysts have said Apple Inc.'s iPad Mini, which is expected to be announced by Apple in California next Tuesday, could take 15% of sales away from the full-size iPad, the Telegraph has reported. Despite the lack of information, analysts are predicting that Apple will sell around five million iPad Minis before Christmas, assuming rumours of a November 2 release date are correct. "We believe that the smaller iPad could cannibalize one million regular iPad units in December or a rate of cannibalization at 20%. So for every five million smaller iPads, you lose one million standard iPads," said Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray. Alongside the iPad Mini, reports have suggested that Apple might unveil a 13-inch version of its 'Retina' MacBook Pro. The laptop with a very high resolution display is currently available on in 15-inch screen size.
