I have an iPad 2 and a mini. I couldn't decide which one to upgrade first; i.e., getting an Air or mini Retina.
Reasons to upgrade to the mini retina:
- my mini goes to work with me everywhere while the iPad 2 stays home. So I use the mini more often
- cheaper upgrade (mini retina is $100 less than the iPad Air)
- easier to sell a mini than an iPad 2 (when people are selling iPad 3 and 4)
- my iPad 2 is jailbroken (which can be useful to keep), mini is not
Reasons to get the iPad Air:
- the low resolution is really showing on the larger screen, not so much on the mini
- my iPad 2 is much older, I bought it shortly after it was first introduced
- the spec upgrade is much greater from iPad 2 to Air (compared to mini -> mini retina)
- iPad Air will be available before the mini retina
Is anyone in the same situation?
