Some of you may know the rumor of a 7inch iPad going around to go against the 7inch Tablet Market
With two weeks left until the rumored October 17 presser, we’re again beginning to see parts thought to belong to Apple’s mini iPad. An Ukrainian publication today published four images said to depict the iPad mini chassis featuring a SIM tray, suggesting the device will come in both WiFi and WiFi + Cellular varieties, like its 9.7-inch sibling. Additionally, the images show front and back panels, display assembly and strangely no change for the headphone jack which remains on the top…
Russian-language UkrainianiPhone.com (via 9to5Mac) reportedly got these parts from a Chinese factory source.
Notice the headphone jack on the top, which is in stark contrast to other leaks and the new design of the iPhone 5 and iPod touch.
As depicted above, the bottom also has a small port, likely for the new Lightning connector

The rear panel revelas a tray that could be for the new and smaller Nano SIM card standard, first used commercially on the iPhone 5. If the part is legit, Apple should provide the iPad mini in both WiFi and cellular flavors (a cellular version of the Nexus 7 is in the works).
Pictured below: the front panel with a hole for the home button and a smaller one at the top, presumably for a forward-facing FaceTime camera. Another notable: white looks as expected, but black sure reminds me of the anodized aluminum appearance on the black & sating iPhone 5.

My View... Before you all start saying oh i have an iPad mini its my iPod Touch... Yea ok compare a 3.5inch screen to an 7inch screen..( If this is 7inch ) a 7inch iPad would be fine as not everyone likes big tablets like iPad and Samsungs 9inch Tablets.... Just think about it

I think they were posted a few days ago but some photos were posted online which were the ipad mini but were considered fake by most people with common sense, as the pictures shown were the ipad mini on ios 5.1.1 which makes no sense as why would apple release a product on an iOS version they know has a untethered jailbreak out and when iOS 6 is available to anyone with a device capable, they would obviously make this device be able to run iOS 6 otherwise people would be tempted to steer clear for a while.
Hopefully this surfaces in time for christmas, it will make a great present which is probably what apple plan to do with this.
