iPad mini iPad Mini will NOT get a Retina display..

Yeah a retina iPad mini would be like them making a 13 " retina MB Pro.....oh wait. My god man use some common sense.

How credible is this report?

Why would Apple decide to cannibalize the regular sized "iPad with Retina display"? They wouldn't.

Why would Apple cannibalise the iPhone's retina display by adding it to the iPod touch. They wouldn't.

Oh, wait...

It's important to remember the first thought Apple considers is how to maximize their profits.

Past practice has been to use the most basic inexpensive components (like the low-res display in the current mini) to start, then make customers pay top dollar for it.

After all, it does come with the "Apple Logo" 🙂

Apple WILL stick with retina display forever except for cheap iPhone.

 

[CaptHenryMorgan]

Yes it will.

I want a mini but retina isn't a must for me. I have an iPad2 but the mini is more portable IMO.

I also want the cellular version. If the new one doesn't come with retina but a good chip and memory increase I'd probably go with a mini gen2.

Another thing I'm waiting on is to see is how iOS7 runs on the mini gen1 and if no features are left out. If it some how runs smooth and no features are left out I'd be tempted to save the money by buying the gen1 mini cellular.

Just another retina ipad mini + iphone 5S cnet.com site that mentions that the mini will possibly have the retina plus iphone 5S with a finger printer reader

PS: A few that make statements that something will not come to pass have actually had to eat their words

Based on what?

Retina will have no impact over buyer preference for either sizes. Neither do I see any evidence to suggest why they would not go retina for the mini.

Agreed. I think that Apple will eventually come out with a retina iPad mini.
