The iPad Mini with Retina display was highly anticipated. For some analysts, the launch was considered necessary to face competition and the strong growth of tablet segment less than 9 inches.
Despite doubts about the ability of the manufacturer to be ready before 2014 , it was announced that the iPad Mini would be available in November. But for IHS , if Apple has remained vague on the release date (he simply announced in November), it was because he could miss screens.
Apple needed a product showcase, unless you can sell
"Based on the current logistics data, deliveries of the new iPad Mini with Retina display will fall below 4 million units and potentially a total of less than three million units in the fourth quarter" advance IHS.
With such a low volume, Apple could not meet the demand of iPad Mini, the first version had passed 8.9 million units over the last three months of 2012. And these volumes are now well beyond that figure, warns cabinet.
"The company has good reason to be discreet about the exact release date, as the supply of new mini is ridiculously tight in the fourth quarter. The heart of the problem is supply constraints on the new Retina display "noted Rhoda Alexander, director of research at IHS tablet.
