Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL): Pictures of the alleged iPad Mini surface

Finally we have some details on the Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iPad Mini.

Pictures have been published by UkranianiPhone.com, that show that the headphone jack will remain on the top of the device like in the current full-size iPad, Apple Insider reported.

The bottom of the device will have a space for Apple's new, smaller lightning connector.

Unlike as in the case of the iPhone 5, components from the rumoured device have not surfaced frequently ahead of its anticipated debut.

Instead, most images online have been of mock-ups that purport to show what the final design of the product will be, the report said.

There is a nano-SIM tray on the rear panel of the iPad Mini

and this means that the device would be capable of connecting to cellular data networks.

The alleged iPad mini front panel shows the thin side bezel that was previously rumoured, and also space for a home button and a forward-facing FaceTime camera. The front panel is white, suggesting the device will come in both black and white varieties, observed Apple Insider.

There is a picture of the rear of the device where the Apple logo is visible and the name `iPad' below that. The rear facing camera is at the top left hand corner.

There have been reports of the iPad Mini being launched on October 17 and the invites for the event are likely to be sent on October 10, while the actual sale of the devices are expected to be on November 2, going by previous schedules of Apple in selling their products.
