Rumors that Apple may be working on a smaller version of the iPad have been flying around for some time now, with most rumors claiming that a 7.85″ device is in the works. But what would an 8-inch “iPad mini” actually look like?

Ciccarese Design (via CultofMac) answers that question with some new render of what they think such a device might look like, and how it would compare with the size of the current iPad, as well as the iPhone 4S. There are no thrills or surprises with these concepts, making them a great way to put the size of an 8-inch iPad into perspective.

The design firm also did an earlier set of ‘iPad mini’ renders (as well as a foldable print-out model of an iPad mini) for MacRumors a while back, which is also worth taking a look at.
What do you think? Would you buy a smaller version of the iPad?
