The first photo is working iPad mini

Snared before the presentation of the new iPhone 5 smartphone photos and lots of information about it several spoiled the surprise effect, which usually makes Apple bet when preparing to release a new product. It seems that the same fate awaits iPad mini, A surprise can not be. And not only that many of the potential characteristics of a small tablet already known. So, in this case the Chinese resource Bolopad.com published pictures of a mini-iPad, which states that it is a photo of a real device, not the layout or prototype. One image is also demonstrated 9-pin Lightning.

These photos were allegedly received from certain Apple's official supplier. And, according to Jesus Diaz (Jesus Diaz) from Gizmodo, their authenticity is likely worth believing. He suggests that the "leak" of information of this kind - not even by accident. Perhaps this is a deliberate and conscious Apple's policy, according to which the better to feed the people, indifferent to sensationalism and rumor, few real details about the new product, than to allow the web to build graphomaniacs absurd conjectures.

There is another explanation of the participation of the data sink. Perhaps Apple privacy policy lately is lame. Or employees of the Asian Apple corporate partners just learned to circumvent the protection and control devices, and take snapshots collected by them for the purpose of a higher price to sell them to those who are willing to pay. In any case, according to Diaz, this reason was not with Steve, and it is strange that Tim Cook (Tim Cook) allows such.
