Leaked photos allegedly show Retina display Apple iPad mini 2 with color options

0. phoneArena posted on 21 Feb 2013, 18:31

Leaked pictures from a Chinese forum show what is allegedly the next version of the Apple iPad mini and the blue colored Apple logo on back could indicate that Apple plans on offering a selection of different colors similar to the colors used for the 5th generation Apple iPod Touch; some of the pictures show a thicker tablet which could mean that it will be equipped with a Retina display...

$349 if anything, but I get your sarcasm.

Why would Apple want to sale a $349 mini with the same resolution as it's big brother at $499? Haven't you looked at the stock prices lately? I see it between $400 to $500 dollars just because their hurting the 9.7" model at the $329 starting price.

willl buy it only if its less than 350$ or else its better buying a ipad 3 refurbished one for 399$

Sad thing is I was serious :(
If the rumors are true and having "retina" display increases apples costs by 30%, expect the cost of an entry level mini to be at least $450

It's $570 in my country for the base wifi and 16gb version,

I would def. buy an iPad Mini if it had a Retina display at the same price with a A6X chip. This would be the first thing I would buy from Apple since 2006 (iPod Classic 30GB).

Only if iOS7 was a total rebuild, and then it'd still be a maybe.

Apple takes a page out of Nokia's play book? Creepy...

32. Gdrye posted on 22 Feb 2013, 11:20 1 1

u got to be kidding me...nokia playbook there were color options on ipods for a while now, not saying apple invented the color devices, but they sure to pretty much have a history with it as anyone else

22. Lucas777 posted on 21 Feb 2013, 22:23 1

Revolutio... wait for it..... NARY!!

As long as people are willing to overspend Apple will continue to make up crazy prices. The iPad mini should be no more than $249 imho.

21. KingKurogiii posted on 21 Feb 2013, 22:15 1

even $299 would be acceptable being that it's so well made but it would also have to be more than a recycled iPad 2 which it isn't.

Why is color options such big news? they just spray paint it u can do that at home too

12. darkkjedii posted on 21 Feb 2013, 19:33 5

Really dude...really.

15. BackHandLegend posted on 21 Feb 2013, 20:01

He's right... lol really dude?

13. BadAssAbe posted on 21 Feb 2013, 19:40 1

Spray paint, bluff, clear coat, then wax. Way more complex LOL ;)

11. darkkjedii posted on 21 Feb 2013, 19:33 1 7

Should b another great device. Solid and fluid.

17. taz89 posted on 21 Feb 2013, 20:30 1 1

agree hardware and fluidity wise it will be awesome, just hope ios 7 is a huge improvement and not imo a small update like ios 6...for me i want to be able to set my own default apps and just drag and drop files instead of having to sync everything...for me those 2 are the most important

19. darkkjedii posted on 21 Feb 2013, 21:12 2

I'm with u on that. After the ribbing apples taken this past year, it should b a big update. I think it will b

14. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 21 Feb 2013, 19:47 1

I have a feeling Apple would never have a blue logo like that.
It just doesn't look right.

18. nikenturd (unregistered) posted on 21 Feb 2013, 20:44 1

This will be a good compliment to my Note 2....hope its well within the $329 range

23. kozza3 posted on 21 Feb 2013, 22:33

i personally loved the form factor of the mini but it's an ipad and therefor useless to me

25. jsdechavez posted on 22 Feb 2013, 01:03

No thanks.. Never.

27. Techsplash posted on 22 Feb 2013, 01:36
