Mini iPhone 5 May Be Followed by Mini iPad 2 in September

Well now, we’ve recently heard the rumours of a smaller and cheaper version of the iPhone 4 may be on its way later in the year, a mini iPhone as it is being called, which will be half the size of the current version, and now it seems there will be a mini iPad as well.

This is of course in the rumour stage at the moment, but according to an article over on ITproportal, they have heard, although they don’t say from whom, that the release of the Apple iPad 2 will come in a few weeks time and will apparently be followed by a smaller version.

They say that the mini iPad could have a 7-inch form factor, which we’ve already heard being bandied about the net waves, and would arrive in September to compliment the Apple iPad 2 and not replace it.

They are also calling the mini iPhone the iPhone 5 mini, so could this mean that the new iPhone 5 will only be the smaller cheaper model? So we are apparently expecting an iPhone 5 mini and an Apple iPad 2 mini sometime later this year?

Of course all this is just rumour at the moment and Apple hasn’t commented what so ever on the rumours as far as I am aware. So would people purchase a smaller iPhone and smaller iPad? Or do you think this is all just pure bunkum?
