Hey guys,
Since the Mini was released I wanted one badly, but our Finance Minister (my wife ;-) ) said no.
I have a MBA 13" since Nov'13, an iPhone 4S (will replace it with the 5 in 2 weeks), Apple TV and my wife has an iPad2.
Now I got out of nowhere (well, it was a surprise) from my bank some loyalty points which equal approx. US$ 260.00 and I am thinkin if I should get the Mini now and enjoy it or wait as the vouchers are valid for 6 month from now (basically until early October 2013.
We are going for a 1 month vacation in May and I am planning to take my MBA (will do a lot of photo- & videography and need to move the data from the SD cards to an external drive. My wife will take her iPad2 and i take my iPhone either way.
Should I get the iPad Mini now, enjoy it during the trip and have fun with it over the next months; or should I wait and maybe get an iPad Mini2 sometime later this year (will it come before October) and hope it will be better? I have read Retina might not come in the 2nd generation yet, so why wait?
We are happy with the iPad2 and although I have Retina on the iPhone I am not that display horny for Retina I think.
Thanks for your suggestions.
cheers
