The Taiwan Economic Daily News, relayed by MacRumors, says an anonymous source allegedly led to believe that the technology titan will abandon upgrades its range of small tablets. In other words, this means that the third iteration of the iPad Mini launched last month some minor improvements could be the last .

Why Apple would go this route? The news of EDN cites a number of possible reasons. Now that the company has the iPhone 6 Plus 5.3-inch on the market, she thinks she might refrain from making improvements to its iPad Mini 7.9 inches, with the sole purpose of helping to revive sales of its biggest smartphone.

If Apple believes that a significant number of consumers will now put aside the iPad Mini iPhone 6 Plus to perform the same tasks, it is easy to imagine why the company can focus its vision to future on iPad Air and iPad Pro, which, according to speculation on Monday, could emerge with a screen of 12.2 inches. Another theory suggests that Apple might think that more tablet could be a hit with some consumers, namely the players, teachers and the entire professional class.

When the iPad Mini has landed, it was significantly different from what we had seen so far more, making it lighter and smaller than traditional iPad. But with the arrival last year of the iPad Air, thinner and lighter, the two devices are close in terms of design. And this gap is further reduced it a few weeks ago when the Cupertino company launched the iPad 2. And Air with a much higher financial margin with the Air iPad 2, abandoning the range Mini would be a great loss to the firm at the bitten apple.

However, Apple's smaller tablet could still be sold for some time , but perhaps without upgrading, which would make it an option increasingly attractive to customers more time passes. This process would be consistent with what Apple had with the iPod Touch has not changed during the last two years, preferring to entice potential buyers with its smartphones instead.

While Apple's tablet sales have declined during the three consecutive quarters, it is quite legitimate that the leaders of the company is very interested in its marketing strategy. The abandonment of the iPad Mini in favor of the iPad Pro could be a very strategic choice. The future will tell. It expects Apple unveils its largest tablet in the course of 2015. By that year, we should have more information about it.
