Most people agreed that the one thing missing from the iPad mini was a Retina Display…well Apple have put that right.
From sometime in November (the exact date has not been announced) Apple will ship the latest version of the iPad Mini with the much sought-after super-sharp display and the super-fast A7 processor.
Apple said: “The new iPad mini with Retina display packs all the 3.1 million pixels (2048-by-1536 resolution) of iPad Air into its 7.9-inch Multi-Touch display, for a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.
“The 7.9-inch Retina display of iPad mini is 35 percent larger than screens on 7-inch tablets, and is the only small tablet to deliver the full iPad experience, now with razor sharp Retina quality.
“Images are crisp, text is crystal clear, movies play at full 1080p HD-resolution and the 475,000 apps designed specifically for iPad work automatically.”
The iPad mini with Retina display will be available in silver or space gray priced at $399 for the 16GB model, $499 for the 32GB model, $599 for the 64GB model and $699 for the 128GB model.
iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular models will be available at $529 for the 16GB model, $629 for the 32GB model, $729 for the 64GB model and $829 for the 128GB model.
The original iPad mini will now sell for $299 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model and $429 for the 16GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model.
In addition Apple has announced new custom-designed polyurethane Smart Covers for the new tablets in a range of vibrant colours for $39. New leather cases in six rich colors, including beige, black, blue, brown, yellow and red will cost $69.
