[iPad Mini] What would you do with your iPad mini when the mini 2 gets released?

Appl3FTW · Nov 18, 2012, 07:53 PM

3 for me

Shadowbech · Nov 18, 2012, 07:56 PM

Keep, no plan on upgrading on my end. Not until it's unusable.

davideotape · Nov 18, 2012, 08:11 PM

Sell this one and upgrade if I can swing it for a cost difference of $75 or less. If not make a decision between:
-Doing nothing and waiting a few years or so.
-Selling the 4 and consolidating to one iPad

----------

That's also factoring in if its worth the upgrade. I'd only want to if it had retina and a better processor.

Ladybug · Nov 18, 2012, 08:12 PM

After buying ipad 1, ipad 3, and now the mini...think I'll keep it at least 2 yrs. before I upgrade it.

ZBoater · Nov 18, 2012, 08:44 PM

What about keeping it AND buying the mini 2? Where's that option?

Chupa Chupa · Nov 18, 2012, 08:47 PM

It's not what "would" I do, it's what I will do...IF the next mini is Retina. Otherwise I'll keep it as I'm otherwise very happy w/ mini.

racoonboy · Nov 18, 2012, 08:48 PM

keep lying to myself that the screen looks the same and it is worth the money i spent.

iHeartsteve · Nov 18, 2012, 08:49 PM

sell ASAP! The sooner the retina mini comes out the better!

kept my 3 and will wait till the ipad 5. I feel the reg size ipads are a must for at home viewing. Will never sell those.

iPadMini · Nov 18, 2012, 08:50 PM

I would sell mine a couple weeks before launch with cheap accessories bundled in for the same price I bought it for. Then i would buy the new one if it was retina.

No, not really. I don't care about the form factor or it being a collectible. I just want two iPads.

Nee412 · Nov 18, 2012, 09:04 PM

I plan on giving the first gen to my girlfriend and buying the second gen.

3 is getting two minis so that's the closest

shenan1982 · Nov 18, 2012, 09:46 PM

Throw it away!

No if your #3 said "I'll get both," that would make sense. No, I don't consider this a collectible.

Appl3FTW · Nov 18, 2012, 10:25 PM

fair enough... well don't make it a collectible then

DaReaper · Nov 18, 2012, 10:38 PM

Not having retina doesn't really bother me. So it has to have some major updates in order for me to upgrade.

bembol · Nov 18, 2012, 11:00 PM

I sell it regardless how little they change it. Except for Cars, iMac & MacBook Air/Pro, I sell all my toys and upgrade.

My Samsung Galaxy Note II is my 14th upgrade since I signed a contract back in '09. I can't keep anything for more than 6 months. I only had the iPhone 5 for two weeks.

Appl3FTW · Nov 19, 2012, 06:17 AM

^^^ so u lose money everytime? i get it tho

AndersOlson · Nov 19, 2012, 12:28 PM

Keep the first gen mini for the wife and buy an upgrade. It'll still be a great ipad and with AppleCare+ it'll last a while

Jessica Lares · Nov 19, 2012, 12:34 PM

Keeping it, I can't tell the difference between non-retina on the iPad Mini and Retina on my iPhone 4 anyway. For me, everything look better on the iPad Mini than on the 4.

ZipZap · Nov 19, 2012, 01:33 PM

If they can add retina, keep weight and battery then same...all of you will upgrade. ALL of you.

MacDarcy · Nov 19, 2012, 01:42 PM

Hey...I bought the first gen iPad the day they were released back in 2010. Still have the unlimited data plan thru AT&T that I will transfer to my iPad mini LTE when it arrives.

What will I do when the iPad mini 2 comes out? Um...dunno.

I didn't upgrade my first gen when the iPad 2 came out. Or the iPad 3 with Retina. Or the iPad 4. Soooooo.....who knows.

The mini first gen may share the same fate with me as the first regular iPad did. I may just skip the upgrades for awhile. Or I may sell the first gen and upgrade. It depends.

Either way, I know I will be happy...cause I have enjoyed AND continue to enjoy my first gen iPad - which I am typing on right now!
