Apple is requesting that Premium Resellers set aside more space in the stores for iPad displays ahead of the rumoured Sept event.

MacRumors is reporting: "We're told that the emphasis on iPad display space is coming at the expense of Apple's Mac Pro and Mac mini computers, which are reportedly being removed from display entirely at these locations. Displays of iPods and associated headphones are also reportedly being trimmed back to release space for the iPad."

There are strong rumours that Apple will announce an iPad Mini alongside a revamped iPhone on a media event on Sept 12.
