今天小编整理的是关于科技类的文章，主要是iPadmini的发布会，来看看苹果官方研发的新产品，又出现了哪些新功能。在了解可以的发展的时候，也能够提高我们的阅读成绩。
10月24日Ipad mini正式亮相，今天特意整理了关于ipad mini最新的双语新闻，可用作托福阅读背景材料，供考生们了解。
iPadmini是此次发布会的重点，但是这款被俗称为“7英寸iPad”的iPad其实是7.85英寸1024*768像素的。而目前的两款热门7英寸平板KindleFire和Nexus 7都是7英寸1280*800像素的。
为什么是7.85英寸?简单的来说这是一个数学计算的结果，7.85英寸和1024*768的分辨率(163PPI)能让开发者先前开发的针对iPad的应用程序都兼容这款iPad并且它的各个用户界面元素显示大小和未采用Retina屏幕的iPhone和iPod touch相同。
但在乔布斯曾经鲜明反对后又未明确同意做这样 一款产品的背景下，尤其是今年8月份苹果互联网软件与服务高级副总裁EddyCue发于去年1月的“建议苹果生产7英寸iPad”邮件曝光后，苹果如何向大家解释推出iPadmini的原因，是一个值得关注的问题。同时，苹果会损一下其它7英寸的平板吗?
第三代iPad更换接口版本
据悉，此次发布会苹果会把第三代iPad也就是“The NewiPad”小改款更换为使用闪电接口的版本，价格保持不变，已经有网友戏称这款iPad为“The Newer iPad”。
的确，新iPad为了屏幕和待机增加了厚度和重量，让部分消费者不是很满意，苹果推出小改版本也在情理之中。那明年三月的下一代iPad会是什么样子?同时，iPad2会不会停止生产呢?
13英寸Retina屏幕MacBook Pro
在今年6月WWDC2012上，苹果发布了 Retina屏幕的MacBookPro笔记本电脑，但是只有15英寸版本。而13英寸版本前些天已经被全面曝光：其分辨率是2560*1600像素，接口和15英寸RMBP相同，硬盘也会采用和15英寸相同的256GB SSD起步，但是并没有独立显卡。在10月23日的iPadmini发布会上，这款13英寸的RMBP肯定会登场了。
消息称13英寸Retina屏幕的MacBook Pro标配8GB内存、低配为最新一代i52.5GHz处理器。据悉其起步价格为1699美元(约合人民币10625元)，按惯例加完增值税估计行货价格在人民币12500元左右。而15英寸的最低配是16488元，都超过了万元。
目前传出的13英寸版本没有独立显卡让很多网 友很失望。这并不意外，因为原来13英寸普通屏幕的MacBookPro也并未采用独立显卡，而是采用了集成的Intel HD Graphics4000显卡，虽然驱动Retina屏幕不会有问题，但是在游戏性能方面要比15英寸的差了。
iMac和Mac mini的更新
另外，已经有许久没有更新的iMac和Macmini这次也可能会获得更新。据悉，全新的iMac可能会更薄，但使用Retina屏幕的可能性较小。而苹果的高性能台式机MacPro至今被提及的频率很低，希望也能获得更新。
最后，iBooks3.0也已经在网上曝光，可见苹果可能在发布会上推出新的软件服务，同时发布会上公布的iPhone5等产品的销量和用户数据也是额外的看点之一。
Apple's next event is less than 24 hours away and everyone expectsthat the iPad mini will be the star of the show. But it's notexpected to be alone。
Here's everything we expect Apple to announce tomorrow：iPad mini (or iPad Air)
Apple is widely expected to unveil a smaller version of its iPadtablet. The device will likely feature a 7.85-inch display, but itmight not have the high-resolution Retina display that Appleincludes on some of its products。
The new tablet is believed to have a coated aluminum back coversimilar to the iPhone 5, as well as the new Apple Lightning dockconnector. Additionally, alleged pictures of the tablet show itwill have two speakers, although some pre-announcement pictureshave turned out to be false in the past。
Like the bigger iPad, the mini is expected to be available in aversion that will connect to cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi.The new device's main competitors — the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon7-inch Kindle Fire HD — are Wi-Fi only。
Reports have said the iPad mini could be priced starting at $250 oras high as $329.
As for the name, it's been widely expected the device will becalled the iPad mini, but a report last week challenged that name,saying it may be called the iPad Air。
13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina
This summer, Apple introduced a lighter and slimmer version of its15-inch MacBook Pro that also included the higher-resolution Retinadisplay. On Tuesday, Apple might introduce its 13-inch counterpartin time for the holidays。
If Apple does announce a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina it isexpected to have a 2,560-by-1,600 pixel display. The current13-inch MacBook Pro by comparison has a 1,280-by-800 pixelresolution。
Additionally, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina is not expectedto have an optical drive, and it is believed to start at$1,699.
Mac mini
There haven't been many details on what exactly Apple plans to doto the Mac mini, it's tiny desktop computer, but 9 to 5 Mac reportsthat the tech company will give the machine some sort of upgrade.For reference, the Mac mini's internals were updated last year andit was renovated two years ago, but we'll find out how much of anupdate the small computer gets, if it gets one at all, onTuesday。
iMac
Even more vague than reports about the Mac mini is the iMac desktopcomputer. 9 to 5 Mac and Apple Insider have reported that Appleplans to update the computer, but since there haven't been manydetails as to what will be new, our guess is it will mostly receiveinternal upgrades or receive USB 3.0 ports。
9.7-inch iPad (Third generation)
Another rumor that has been floating around the Web on severalreports is that Apple may give a slight change to its currentthird-generation 9.7-inch iPad。
Last month, Apple released the iPhone 5 and introduced the newLightning dock connector, and it is believed the company may add itto the current iPad. Adding to the speculation was an alleged photoof the third-generation iPad with the Lightning connector, whichrecently hit the Web。
Besides the iPhone 5, the Lightning dock is also on the new iPodTouch and the new iPod Nano. It is also expected to be on the iPadmini, so adding it to the current iPad wouldn't befar-fetched。
