Information apparently taken from the inventory of a German electronics retailer suggests that the Apple iPad Mini will start at €249 (£201) for an 8GB version and go up to around €649 (£520) for a 64GB version with WiFi and mobile connectivity.
The leaked screenshot shows 16 configurations of the new device, with WiFi and mobile versions of each memory size. Recent reports had suggested that the new iPad would not have mobile connectivity. The new Apple tablet is expected to be announced at an event in California next week but so far the company has not even confirmed that it is holding an event.
Even if the screenshot is geniune, it is possible that the data has been added by the retailer on a preliminary basis and doesn't represent Apple's intended pricing.
If the prices are correct then the entry level version of the new Apple tablet, which could be called the iPad Mini or the iPad Nano or even the iPad Air, would costly slightly more than key rivals. Google's Nexus 7 - seven-inch Android tablet, launched in July - costs £159, the same price as Amazon's seven-inch Kindle Fire HD.In recent weeks speculation about Apple's forthcoming tablet has increased, with photographs circulating that purported to show the new device and rumours about Apple's plans for a launch event.
