iPad mini A common issue often presents itself when Apple (AAPL) launches new products: it can t build them fast enough. We ve seen it time and time again, most recently when Apple launched the iPhone 5 and 150,000 dedicated factory workers still couldn t keep up with demand. Now, a report has surfaced claiming that Apple s manufacturing partners in the Far East can t build units fast enough to keep pace with Apple s iPad mini orders.

According to Digitimes supply chain sources, Apple s parts suppliers have prepared enough components to build between 10 million and 12 million iPad mini tablets in the fourth quarter to accomodate heavy demand. Apple s manufacturing partners are only expected to ship 8 million assembled units, however.
