[All iPads] What additions can we expect the iPad mini 2 to have?

MauerFan · Dec 25, 2012, 09:36 PM

I've saved up some money and plan on getting an iPad. Price isn't an issue, so I can get the mini or regular iPad. A big reason why i'd like to get one is so that I can leave my MacBook Pro in my dorm, or at my house, and just take my iPad to class/library/coffee shop/etc.

If I do get the mini I'm thinking i should wait until #2 comes out though. What do you think we can expect with the update. Besides the retina display

I can't see much besides the Retina display. A6X chip to power it, same battery, same cameras.

Maybe different colors and NFC?

same form factor
better camera
retina
1GB RAM
A6X chip
slightly better battery life

all major upgrades

Mini 2 will probably get A5X chip and retina display

I don't think there will be much other upgrades. The iPad mini with retina alone would sell like hot cakes..
