What do you want the price of the iPad mini to be?

[Redjericho]

The iPad mini will not have a retina display.

It would:
Increase the cost significantly (larger battery required, faster gpu/CPU, and the screen itself), to the point of very little profit at the price point everybody is expecting.

Shove another resolution down developer's throats. They've already got iPhone 3GS, iPhone retina, iPad, and iPad retina. Luckily those are really just scaled increases of 2 resolutions. If it they had another, it would be a while before developers even began considering developing for it.



I'm not saying it won't have a high-res screen, but there is a mathematical formula behind the retina display, and the iPad mini will not meet that formula.

Since you are asking about price, I think that everyone will want it to be the cheapest. However, with the specs we want apple to put in it, being a budget tablet isn't really realistic.

I'll be happy if its a competitor with the nexus 7 with a similar price range. If so, I'd probably definitely buy it lol.

This is a stupid question... "What price do you want it to be?" Obviously as cheap as possible... Better question would be "How much do you think it will be?".

Yea I think we figured that out by now

8GB Nexus 7 goes for $199; 16GB for $249

Apple will need to match that. Pricing it higher due to a Retina display won't cut it. I have the Nexus 7 and it looks great. It's Retina enough to me.

Bonus points of they include and SD card slot. But I doubt that.

Apple.. SD card? Lol never.

Flying cars will be made available to the general public before Apple ever provides an SD card on any of their devices
