Leaked Part Numbers Show 24 iPad Mini Variations?

Leaked iPad mini part numbers show that Apple plans to release 24 variations of the smaller tablet, reports AppleInsider.

The full list of presumed "iPad mini" product stock-keeping units, or SKUs, shows a total of 24 varieties. Four different models will be offered - described as P101, P103, P105 and P107 - which one person familiar with the inventory said likely signifies four different storage capacities. The lineup could suggest that Apple plans to introduce an 8-gigabyte model that would serve as an entry-level model for the lower-priced 7.85-inch iPad.


Each of the four product descriptions comes in "GOOD", "BETTER", and "BEST" which the site suggests could be Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G LTE. The "A" and "B" variations are thought to be color options of black and white.

A source also told the site that initial shipments suggests inventory of the "P101" model will be greatest at launch.

Apple is expected to announce the iPad mini at a special event on October 23rd.
