Going against his claim that a 7-inch tablet wouldn’t work out (seen in a video below) and that Apple wouldn’t go into the 7-inch market, Steve Jobs seemed receptive to the thought of a 7-inch iPad according to an email with Eddy Cue. The Verge, who is currently in the courtroom where Scott Forstall is testifying, reports:
Wow. Forstall is shown a 2011 email from Eddy Cue, in which Cue forwarded an article that a journalist wrote about dumping the iPad after using a Galaxy Tab. Cue writes “Having used a Samsung Galaxy [Tab], i tend to agree with many of the comments below… I believe there will be a 7-inch market and we should do one. I expressed this to Steve several times since Thanksgiving and he seemed very receptive the last time.”

After months of rumors, the 7-inch iPad is believed to be announced at a media event on September 12th along with the new iPhone, according to a report from iMore. Several other publications confirmed iMore’s report shortly after.
