When WSJ says, "people familiar with the matter", that means "Apple".
This is a clear message from Apple to kill the rumors started today that the next Mini would not have retina. They don't want people rushing out to buy Nexus 7 thinking retina isn't coming.
If iPad Mini goes Retina, there will be a serious dip in regular iPad sale.
Concerning this matter, what we've read so far is that iPad mini is going to have a retina display, unless it won't. Half of the articles confirm it, while the other half deny it. I'm wondering if anybody knows the difference between rumors and blind guessing...![]()
iPad Mini is already just right. I hope they don't change a thing for a long long time.

I can't see Apple keeping the iPad 2 with 30 pin connector. My guess is full size iPad will be retina only, and mini will have both non-retina and retina. It would be nice if the non-retina mini could drop in price, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.There already was when the iPad mini came out regardless of retina or not....

Its entirely possible that they could keep a non-retina model going as a cheaper option...
Though that could mean they push the price up for the retina model.
IPad Mini
Non retina $329
Retina $399
Regular iPad
Non Retina $399
Retina $499

I don't think rumours affect sales that much.
Right now the Nexus 7 is up against the iPad Mini which doesn't have a high resolution screen. That is the fact until Apple changes it.
Apple can't compete without a retina screen, Samsung and the others companies will be too glad using this argument to prove how better their tablets are.
.
It will come with a Retina display on one side and a non-retina display on the other!
"Introducing the New iPad Mini. Twice the displays, twice the possibilities."
...and triple the price. Nexus 7 with better display will only go up in price for about 30 dollars....but iPad mini with retina would be like 100 dollars more.....phil schiler "and that is agressive price"....Yeah right Phil.
Another drawback: In my test, the new Nexus 7′s battery life was underwhelming. Compared with the same battery test of the iPad Mini and first Nexus 7, it fell short at just six hours; the others clocked in at 10 hours and 27 minutes and 10 hours and 44 minutes, respectively. Google claims the battery life can last over nine hours, but the company tests it in Airplane mode (Internet connection off), with screen brightness set to 44% while playing video. I keep Wi-Fi on in the background and screen brightness at 75% while playing video.
But Samsung haven't released a retina tablet outside of the Nexus 10 themselves yet, and given the terrible reviews the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 " is reciving, I don't think anyone is going to be worried......
Oh and Nexus 7 HD versus iPad Mini already played out - and the mini won regardless of lesser specs on paper. Until 'specs' automatically equate to more sales - that argument has litte merit.
Thank god for Nexus 7....now Apple is in more pressure to release better screen. They may or may not, but if not for new nexus 7 with fullhd display, i am sure Apple would still use subpar resolution on ipad mini while charging extra premium price for it.Maybe Apple is just not as good as Google (or Asus) then. If Asus can make retina display on nexus 7 with more ram, better proc and more ram for 100 dollars less, and apple can not do that, then Asus have better engineers.
And flash storage is so cheap this days, make 32GB a entry level.

But the mini was brand new product. And the 1st gen nexus 7 wasn't that great. From every review I've read the 2nd gen nexus is a much improved product. And the Galaxy tab doesn't matter, but the Note does and that won't have a crappy display. If there is no retina mini this holiday season I do think the nexus 7 and new Kindle's will snag customers that would have bought a mini.
this is directly from Apple, i promise.
they are trying to kill down the earlier rumor that it wouldn't have one because they dont want Nexus 7 sales to get out of control
