Before the iPad mini 2 was released, Apple may introduce a lower price compete with Android Tablet iPad mini. In order to reduce costs, Apple may be using more sophisticated technology to produce A5 processor, simplify the production process of metal casing, remove the rear camera, and to reduce the capacity to 8GB.

However, Kuo thinks that such a device would not be more iPad sale, but can you organize a low-end Android Tablet invasion. Prior to the launch in the first generation of the iPad mini, there are a lot of people wish their prices between $ 199-249, but the cheapest iPad mini for $ 329.

There's news that Apple will launch later in the year cheap iPhone, the device will use the plastic shell. Current Android Tablet PC gradually begin encroaching on markets, under the Apple iPad's share has fallen to 50%, but a lot of people are expecting Apple to launch in the second half of the year to use Retina display iPad mini.

Analyst Kuo pointed out that because of rumors say these production problems, Apple may temporarily cheaper iPad Mini to help launch a sale and prevent the tablet of low-price competitors. In his view, the low-price iPad Mini price $ 199 to $ 249.

Apple could take a number of measures to reduce the production cost of the iPad Mini. Kuo believes that he suggested choices including the cancellation of the back of the camera, down to 8GB internal storage, streamlined metal casing production, or the use of more advanced technology to create A5 processor.

Full size 9.7 inch iPad,Kuo still expects Apple's fifth-generation iPad will be introduced in the autumn of this year. However, he did not think the whole size of iPad sales will increase significantly, because this product does not provide different user experience than the iPad Mini.

Kou said, we believe that, as Apple released the new and exciting products, Apple's long-term competitive advantage in the tablet computer market. However, due to the delayed product launches and increasing competition, Apple and iPad supply chain have to wait until 2013 to grow significantly in the fourth quarter.
