If all that we had done was take the original iPad and just reduce it, all that you would be aware of was everything that was just missing. There is inherent loss in just reducing a product in size.Apple has also posted a new television ad for the iPad mini that features colorful Smart Covers dancing around the screen. The ad is reminiscent of the 'Colors' iMac ad from 1999 that featured spinning iMacs set to the Rolling Stones song "She's A Rainbow".
What we did, was we went back to the very beginning and we took the time to design a product that was a concentration of, and not a reduction of, the original. We felt strongly that 7.9 inches was exactly the right display size, but it became clear that we had to reduce the width of the borders. So, you can still pick it up and easily use it with one hand.

Poor Jony, he must reek after wearing the same T-shirt for 10 years and being locked inside a white room where they have him say random adjectives they can edit together to promote any product they want.
"It's magicifantly amazilicious."
"Cut, print, next."
"The exquisite chromesticity of the diamond polished chamfered anodized aluminium unibody edge provides a perpendicularly pontificant and lush contrast to the rugged aesthetic of the silky crispness of the hammered bezel that appears to float in mid air"
"Cut, print, next."
"And to think that something so thin and so light could be lighter than something so thin..."
"Cut, print, next."
"You want to lick it with your penis."
"Cut, print, next."
"AluminIum".
"Cut, print."

Ah to see Jony Ive's cocked head against a white background. All is right with the world. Scott Forstall looked bored though. Surprised we didn't get an update on maps.

Wow, the marketing bs is blowing me away!

Then they reduced the product in size.
EDIT - At the risk of people continuing to quote me that are taking this seriously and insulting me, it's a joke. It's called the iPad Mini for Christ's sake, of course they reduced the iPad in size. Not trying to offend your latest purchase, but it's literally a smaller iPad. Can't deny that. So lighten up!
