I've never understood how Samsung can sell a ridiculously large number of devices in any range of spec, but Apple can't seem to bump the hardware on a comparatively puny number of devices.
Got a tip for us?

More Claims of No Retina iPad Mini Until Early 2014

that means those ANALysts just realized no retina display in iPad mini's size exists.
If the iPad Mini gen 2 I described is "crap", then what is the iPad Mini gen 1 that they're already producing and selling? If they don't release an iPad Mini gen 2, they'll continue producing and selling the iPad Mini gen 1, which is probably worse for the environment (it takes up more space, weights more, and requires more fuel for shipping.)
So your environmental argument (seems like a bizarre argument to be making in the first place...) doesn't work.
Surprised we are seeing so many iPad Mini discounts/specials going on right now if the next one is either a spec bump or several months out before release. I don't recall the first or second generation of the iPad seeing retailer discounts until the next was announced.
Oh I thought you were going to say "Great news! The Dacia Sandero is coming to the UK!"...
No I'm talking about the display off. I'm just curious why they appear not to be the same. Perhaps if I take a picture of the white and black side by side. If you have an iPhone5 and see how the screen is true black, that is what the white Mini screen seems to be.
It's an optical 'trick', the amount of white around the display 'tricks' your brain to think it's different. On the iPhone, the 'black ' and 'white' area are negligible and the screen itself is smaller so you can't see it.
bc apple has no need to. people buy the crap out of their devices. if apple started to do what samsung does...we would see so many people here complain about losing value on their devices.
Oh come on. The 6 people planning to buy a Surface are surely happy the price is lower.
Just wait until you hold an iPad 5 in your hands, maybe you'll want that instead...
For my part I'm interested in an iPad mini (retina) because of its light weight, not its size.
I also think that the mini/iPod touch style casing is much more comfortable to hold than the sharp edged iPad 2-4 casing.
Of course there's also the price. If Apple releases both a light iPad 5 and a retina iPad mini this fall, I will hesitate between the two because of the price, and may end up getting a mini.
But if they only release the iPad 5 and no retina mini, I'll bite the bullet and buy the 5 because I'm due for an upgrade and the bigger screen is also a nice thing.
Apple is not afraid of canibalization of sales in general, but that doesn't mean they have to shoot themselves in the foot.

Because it's an analyst guess. Nobody but Apple really knows what will be released and when.

It's also just another analyst guess until Apple announces it.
For me they can wait until 2020. I don't care. iPad Mini doesn't appeal to me. Why would I want something in between an iPhone and a regular iPad
My point exactly.

Portability, for one. And, it's not a big iPhone. It's just a smaller iPad. There's a difference.
Hmmm. Seems like people know very little. Perhaps Tim Cook's 'doubling down on secrecy' thing is working...
This is for the angstridden people who always want the latest and can't wait.
1)You need it, buy now and don't worry . It's a good product
2)You can wait: WAIT!
