Today a warehouse listing leaked with the apple company's product reference numbers, presumably its long-awaited new 7-inch tablet. The funny thing about that delivery note is that it lists 24 different models, so we could be talking about what Apple to launch 24 iPad mini models next October 23 at its presentation event.
The leaked list reached 9to5Mac and Apple Insider today and features four base models: P101, P103, P105, and P107. Of these four there are three variants: GOOD, BETTER and BEST. And each of them has option A and B. Therefore 4x3x2 = 24, 24 different models. We understand that GOOD, BETTER, and BEST can refer to the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB storage options, while A and B would refer to the black and white colors. This would leave us 4 iPad mini models. We know from rumors that we would have two connectivity models, WiFi and WiFi + 4G, but with this we would have two left.
We may be facing a relaunch of the New iPad with Lightning connector technology, which we have already seen on the iPhone 5, like some had suggested. This would mean 12 new models in total and the accounts would come out more clearly.
It is also possible that the numbers P101, P103, P105 and P107 refer to the storage giving an option also of 8 GB that would be worth only 249 Euros, such as the filtered price list a few days ago I suggested. Then options A and B and the three variables GOOD, BETTER and BEST would be the unknowns.
In any case, on the 23rd we will have doubts for sure since the invitations for the event have already been sent. This just generates a little more buzz if possible. We will stay tuned.
