Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL): iPad Mini and iPad 4 in China from Dec. 14

Here's some more news on Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) and its numerous devices, which the company keeps updating frequently.

On Friday Apple said that the Wifi versions of its iPad Mini as well as the iPad 4 with retina displays will be available from December 7 in China, while the iPhone 5 will be available in the country from December 14, onwards.

China is the largest market for smartphones but Apple delayed the launch of the iPhone 5 in the country by about three months, due to trademark dispute issues.

The devices are already available in about 47 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

In China, the Apple devices will be available through the Apple Online Store, select Apple authorized resellers and by reservation from Apple retail stores

The iPad 4, which was not really expected by the street or the tech watchers, features a 9.7-inch Retina display, new Apple-designed A6X chip, FaceTime HD camera and ultrafast wireless performance.
