We are therefore talking that apart from these products, a foldable product which can replace the iPad mini, that is to say the 8.3 inch model, that is to say which can replace the market, could be launched first.,” advice
The Electdedicated discussion. The reasoning behind these claims and rumors is that Apple would not want to cannibalize the sales of any of its other products.
