Apple iPad mini 2
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.
While Apple may have the flashier, more well known tablets - including the most recently unveiled iPad Air and Retina iPad mini - Samsung's tablets apparently aren't doing too badly in the U.S. That's according to a recent survey by JD Power Reports, which finds Samsung ranking highest in owner satisfaction with tablet devices.
The second generation of the iPad mini has finally been unveiled, with big improvements in processing power and display specs. But the iPad mini 2 is going to have some major competition this time around, including the newest lineup of tablets from Amazon, called the Kindle Fire HDX. Let's take a look and see how the iPad mini 2 stacks up.
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.
By all accounts, Apple is about to unveil its 2013 update to the iPad mini, often dubbed the iPad Mini 2, at a West Coast event on Oct. 22. This time around, though, the iPad mini has a lot more competition in the small tablet world.
The new iPad Mini may come with a Retina display, according to rumors sparked by a new Apple processor chip found in Apple's new Apple TV.
