Apple’s ‘smaller iPad due for Christmas’

The move would set up a battle between Apple’s iPad, Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google’s Nexus 7 tablet, announced last week in San Francisco.

The new model will have a screen that’s 7 inches to 8 inches diagonally, less than the current 9.7-inch version, Bloomberg claimed.

Apple is expected to announce new products in October, including a new iPhone. The 7” iPad is unlikely to have the “retina display” high definition screen of the full-size version. It may, however, have the same number of pixels as the iPad 2.
