Welcome to your membership here, I've been a member for years, mostly just observe, but have noticed over the years the infiltration of trolls who have nothing better to do in life than join fan forums in order to quash people's happiness and joy, just to "prove their superiority." I don't believe we shouldn't challenge each other and Apple, but there are members here (I've chided one such member twice in the past day for trolling behaviour) who have nothing positive to say about Apple or people who like Apple products. I don't understand someone whose life is so empty they feel the need to visit forums like this simply so they can attack person and product - it boggles the mind.
I just wonder how many people don't ever join in any of the discussions because of all the jerks ready to pounce and attack, or the visitors who come here and see the arguments and fights and simply leave and never return. I've never visited Android forums so I've no idea whether Apple fans go there and do the same - I would certainly hope not, but I fear people are the same all over and it has nothing to do with platform affiliation?
I don't understand being part of a topic that doesn't concern you. I understand people in this topic who really wanted the iPad mini, but were disappointed with specs. Somehow, we almost always know the product before its released now. We were told it wouldn't have a Retina display, so we should have expected a "slower" chip. I'm pretty sure Apple would have rather put a retina display and 512 chip than a gig chip and this display, but they couldn't make the money they wanted. Get over it.
If you want the superior tablet, get the 4.
Get your wife/girlfriend the mini and life is good.
(Only of you have the iPhone 5, it's the superior product
)

The thing that concerns me when considering the ipad mini is how future proof is it? Are apple going to ditch it after 1 update? It doesn't sound too promising tbh
They ditch everything after 1-2 updates right?
Would you have expected a "new iPad" then 6 months later the IPad 4? I wouldn't have, I will tell you that! Ha. iPad mini, the new iPad, iPhone 5= good logic.

Smaller tablet means smaller all around. I am sure Apple knows what they are doing, or at least they want us to think they do.
In my head when I think of Apple's HQ, I see a long chain of command that no longer has Steve Jobs, and they are running around wondering what to do cause no one can figure it out.
With out Steve, it feels like that little piece of the apple that is bitten off, is a representation of apple's soul loosing a piece. But they still have things they were working on when he was around. When it comes to next season, its gonna feels like you took our the core of the apple, and cut into 8 pieces, then maybe put some peanut butter on it.
Without is one word, so I lost respect for this whole post.
Steve Jobs held an iPad mini years ago and said it was ****.
Would he say that about this one? Who knows but why do you care? He was a marketer that sucked you into his MONEY HUNGRY company. I respect him for every part of this. He was an AMAZING business man. He came out with the iPod mini right? Did Cook choose the right name? Is there a nano in the future?
It's the same company. They make decisions and we support them. They tell us it's the best, the easiest and the most beautiful device on the market. What company doesn't do this? We like Apple, we own Apple's, we can buy future Apple's if they're cool enough.
Time to innovate- iPhone and iPad have hit their gimmick stage. If you add projection and a texture changing glass surface, it's still a gimmick. Holograms... What will it take to wow everyone?
The release of a new product line.
