iPad Mini 2 New Retina Display Size, Details, Specs & Release Date

The iPad Mini did very well in its first quarter on the market. Apple consumers seemed to like the smaller iPad, making it more convenient for some over the normal sized iPad. 

The big thing lacking in the first generation iPad Mini was the display. While Apple is known for their high quality displays and resolutions, the iPad Mini was left lacking. 

Since the popularity of the iPad Mini has been established, the iPad Mini 2 will have the screen that everyone would expect from an Apple product. 

The new iPad Mini 2 is rumored to have a 2048 x 1536 display, which would be a HUGE improvement over the original iPad Mini. 

Over the past few months, we've seen several reports claiming that Apple is going to be adding a Retina display to its popular 8-inch tablet this year. And we've got a new one today that corroborates that theory, claiming that the device is set to land in the third quarter...

The report comes from German blog Mobileaks with full specs: 

"The iPad Mini 2 has not been confirmed by Apple, but we have just received a detailed render of our tipster. In addition, we also received a list of some specifications of the new mini tablet. The screen will remain the same as the first iPad Mini, namely 7.9 inches. But the bezel is brought to a minimum, so there has been a nearly edge-to-edge screen.

The screen resolution is 2048 x 1536 pixels, so there is a Retina display with a ppi of 324. The processor of the iPad Mini 2 is the Apple A6X, who also was fitted on the iPad 4."
