iPad mini with Retina display
- Segmentation 13y agoI wasn't expecting it this early, although I'm not sure the early delivery will help me since I'll be out of town between November 26th and December 4th (estimated delivery window it gave me). Still, nice to have it ordered as I read reports of short supply for this quarter. Got a 128GB.
- 1angryhacker 13y agoThis is what they mean by a retina display: 7.9-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Multi-Touch display with IPS technology 2048-by-1536 resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi) Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
- esolyt 13y ago$400 seems expensive. For half the price, you can get a Nexus 7 (2013). It appears Apple still strongly believes the iOS ecosystem is far greater than Android for tablets.

- ZeroGravitas 13y agoThey're so supply constrained that you can't order them for instore pickup. There's no real reason for them to discount the price if they can't increase production to meet the greater demand.
- twiceaday 13y agoThe iPad screen is 43% larger and the hardware is significantly faster. Even if all you are doing is web browsing it provides a significantly superior experience. $400 is a bit high, but its definitely not $200 high.
