[iPad Mini] It isn't retina; And that does matter

Kauai · Nov 7, 2012, 01:26 AM

Or at least to me. My cousin got one; and I played around with it for a while with my iPad 3 next to me. If this thing were retina, I'd be tempted to switch - I love the styling, the size and the fit, it's so comfortable! But the lack of retina kills it for me. I can tell; it's almost blindingly obvious, and when I go back to using my iPad 3 for web browsing, E-Book reading or watching HD video it feels like such an upgrade!

Please Apple: Bring retina to the Mini next year! I'll pre-order one on the spot.

Try it without your iPad 3 next to you. It'll look better.

Try it at 3am, your eyes are blurrier than the screen
