Apple is preparing to launch a smaller tablet computer in the coming months in a bid to maintain its edge in an increasingly crowded market, the WSJ reports.
Component parts manufacturers have been ordered to gear up for mass production of the tablets in September, indicating the launch may be drawing near.
