All iPads Is the iPad Mini 2 a worthy upgrade from iPad 2?

[PilotTiny]

Hi guys,
I just wondered because I am thinking about getting one of the new Retina iPad Mini's for Christmas. Is it worth an upgrade over the iPad 2?
Thanks

If you don't think the mini is to small for you then it is of course a worthy update.

A5 vs A7 processor in the new mini and you get the retina display.

I also got the non retina mini after my iPad 2 but after about a half year the screen appeared just to small for me, so i upgraged to the iPad 4.

The mini is a nice device but you need to considere that there is only a price difference of about 100$ for the Air.

Aside from the size the mini 2 is better in almost every way

I assume you mean better than the iPad 2 and not the Air, I think we've had that debate

Yes definitely! Portable, fast & extra tiny pixels = pure awesometude!

Many would say that including the size, the mini 2 is better in every way.

Absolutely. Retina screen, A7 processor= get ready to salivate.

Neglecting the obvious such as the A7 (+M7), size (if that's your preference), and retina display... it also has MIMO (for faster Wi-Fi), much better cameras, Bluetooth 4.0, Siri, and support for a slew of new cellular bands (if you're at all interested in the cellular version).

The retina mini / iPad Air is 3 generations ahead of the iPad 2.
