The iPad mini half-dozen was missing from Apple's Spring Loaded event lineup this month, forth with a few other things nosotros were expecting to see. Merely its debut might nonetheless exist in the cards after all, and it could be just a matter of weeks away.

MySmartPrice has spotted EEC (Eurasian Economical Commission) documentation listing a number of Apple tablet product numbers.
