The time has come for the iPad Mini to rise and shine again. The rumors about the iPad Mini started with the iPhone 5 and ended when the iPhone 5 on the horizon. It was believed that Apple would introduce iPad Mini along side the iPhone 5 on September 12. Unfortunately, we didn’t saw any iPad Mini on the Media Event. Before the Media Event could take place, we were hearing about another Media Event is lined up after the iPhone 5’s one by Apple. In that second Media Event, the iPad Mini is highly expected to take the stage with some musical concert after it is unveiled. The second media event is hinted towards October 17 with issuing of October 10 Media Invites for selected journalists by Apple.
