Apple may have announced its hotly anticipated Retina iPad Mini a few days ago, but that doesn’t mean that the speculation is going to end there. Prior to the announcement, it was being consistently rumored that the new iPad Mini might be in short supply immediately after launch. The reason for supply constraints is believed to be low yield rates of Retina display panels. Director of tablet and monitor research at IHS iSuppli, Rhoda Alexander, doesn’t expect “meaningful” volume of iPad mini shipments until the first quarter of next year.

According to Rhoda, supply for the Retina iPad Mini is “severely constrained.” A number of other analysts have voiced their concerns over shipments as well. Apple didn’t even give a concrete release date for the new iPad Mini, some take this as a sign that the company is having to cope up with inconsistent supply. Apple has said that the Retina iPad Mini will be launched later in November, but hasn’t provided a solid date. If Apple only has a limited amount of iPad Mini units that must be divided in all launch markets, then perhaps it might be a little harder for you to get your hands on a new iPad Mini come launch day.

The dust must have settled already when it comes to the iPad Air’s release as well as its smaller brother, the iPad mini which will be equipped with a Retina display. We have already heard announcements from Sprint and T-Mobile concerning their carrying of the new iPad Air, with the latter offering free data under certain plans, too. Well, it is now AT&T’s turn to step up to the plate with the announcement that they too, will offer the iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular this coming November 1, and the iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular will hit their stores later in the same month.

Ralph de la Vega, president & CEO, AT&T Mobility, shared, “Each year, more of our customers want iPad to connect to our mobile internet. We offer the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network, and are giving our customers the most flexible plans to connect to that network.”

We sure hope that Vega’s right about network reliability, as I am quite sure that there are always some blind spots in certain areas, no matter how good a provider is. Well, back to the topic at hand – data plans for these new iPads will include AT&T Mobile Share, where you are able to add a tablet to a sharable bucket of data for $10 monthly, settle for pay-per-use plans which range from a 250MB day pass for $5 to a 30-day, 5GB pass for $50.
