The author of this post assumes that the Mini clones will innovate over Apple's current designs. However, the iPad Mini clones are just that: clones of the iPad Mini. They are trying to look as close to the Apple's design as possible, and not improve in any way.
- ben1040 13y agoRight. From what I gather about a lot of these cheap Chinese clones of, well, any device, is that there apparently seem to be numerous reference hardware designs built around some cheap ARM SoC. They take that board, toss it in a housing made to look like an iPad Mini/SGS 4/ whatever, and sell it for cheap. It's not made to innovate, it's made to be a knockoff that's as cheap as possible. Although, it does seem that some of these clones do have features that are wanted by that market but aren't offered on the device being imitated. For instance a lot of these cheap knockoff phones have dual-SIM capability.
