If true, this would be quite an indictment of Apple's leadership. They priced the Mini as the highest of high end 8" tablets, gimp it with one of the worst displays of any quality tablet on the market, and then can't figure out why sales suck?
My hope is that the Mini 3 sucks because TSMC couldn't fab enough A8/A8X SoCs, and Apple will introduce the "true" Mini update in 6 months or so when yields are up. I really hope this is true, because if they terminate the Mini there will be no high pixel density iPads to buy
Come on Apple, it's 2014, I shouldn't be able to see the pixels on your mobile devices that cost more than anything else on the market!
Raise the Air 3's pixel density to over 325 ppi, and I'd be fine with it. Drop in 3X display (2304 x 3072 @ 396 ppi) and I'd wait in line overnight to buy it at an extra $100 over today's prices.

The Mini has over twice the display area of the 6+.

Just get an iPhone Plus to replace your mini.
