Apple iPad 5
Unlike its unveiling at the big Apple keynote event on Oct. 22, the iPad mini with Retina Display, or iPad mini 2, made a quiet appearance on the Apple Store in the early morning on Tuesday Nov. 12.
The Kindle Fire HDX was unveiled just a little bit before Apple's big October event, where the new iPad Air was revealed to eager Apple fans. And while the iPad Air has an impressive screen resolution and other features, Amazon's newest addition to the Kindle Fire HD might be a sleeper contender for the highest rated slot, especially after its 8.9-inch display recently out-tested Apple's best.
Now that Apple has officially introduced the fifth-generation iPad, previously called the iPad 5 by tech watchers, and now given the new name iPad Air by Apple, the new tablet will soon come into the marketplace crowded by competitors running Android.

It's been almost year exactly since the iPad mini was introduced by Apple. On Oct. 23, 2012, the world got its first glimpse at the 7.9-inch touchscreen tablet and soon after, the device was on sale. So when should we expect to see the prospective iPad Mini 2 on displays around the U.S., and how much will it likely cost? Let's look at last year for clues.
As always, there's a mess of rumors out on the internet preceding the big Apple event in which the Cupertino giant said in the invitations that it still has "a lot to cover." And a lot of rumors - like rumors tend to be - are way overblown. Here's what to actually expect from the Oct. 22 Apple Event.
There have been lots of little hints recently about what changes Apple's newest version of the iPad, the iPad 5, will feature. And there have been lots of claims that it will be a thinner, slimmer, and more powerful tablet. The latest, coming from a Vietnamese tech site, gives another tantalizing clue to how the iPad 5's display will look when it's finally released.
