If iPad Mini has an A5, and iPad 2 has an A5 (which is nearly 2 years old). The iPad 2 is expected to go down with software updates at the end of iOS 6, if the iPad Mini has the same chip, will it only last 1-2 iOS versions (iOS 6,7)
Got a tip for us?

How long do you expect the iPad Mini to be in the iOS updates?

I sincerely doubt they would stop supporting it when iOS7 comes out......... that would be absurd.
Definitely will last past 6. But I guess that's one concern for people who want to keep this for a few years, while putting the iPad 2 hardware in it was smart, it may not get all the latest features of iOS.
Me, I just plan on updating the Mini yearly.

Yeah if I keep mine i'll likely upgrade next year and sell this year's. I expect the 2nd gen to be much nicer.
I just bought the 64gb Lte Black with Gray smart cover. If I am going to keep this for a year, I made the wrong choice.
The ipad mini has Siri
Ipad 2 doesn't
This tells me they make sure future updates support the mini

Why is that the wrong choice? Sure it's the top-end configuration, but just get the size you want.
