I've never owned an iPad before but I'm planning on purchasing one soon. I dropped by the Apple Store today to check out both the new iPad 4 and Mini.
Having never used a retina device, I can say with full confidence that I can definitely tell a difference between the 4 and the Mini. The Mini screen is great in its own right but with my good eyesight, I can still tell a difference from pretty far away. I can read books on the Mini well but I don't know if it'll strain my eyes over time.
I prefer a bigger screen and retina now that I've seen them both next to each other. But I can completely understand why someone would pick a Mini over a 4. The weight of the Mini is absolutely ridiculous. The 4 feels like a brick in comparison. I like the bigger screen and retina but want the Mini's lightness
Back on topic, retina is way better than the Mini, this coming from someone who used both for the first time today. The difference is definitely noticeable and the Mini is in no way superior. Not saying the Mini screen is bad (it's good) but retina is better.
