The Apple iPad mini with Retina Display is finally available for purchase. The 16GB model will cost $399, 64GB and 128GB models will set you back $499, $599 and $699, respectively. When Apple announced its new iPad mini with Retina display last month, the only launch information it gave for the device was that it'd be arriving "later in November." We are glad we didn't have to wait too long to get our hands on the refreshed iPad mini.
Apple's newest iPad mini model features a couple of major upgrades over its predecessor. The first is baked right into its name: The iPad mini with Retina display features a 7.9-inch 2048x1536 display, which is double the original device's 1024x768 resolution. Another big upgrade included with the Retina-fied iPad mini is its A7 processor, the same chip found inside of Apple's iPad Air as well as the iPhone 5s. Rounding out the iPad mini with Retina display's spec list is a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera
The 4G LTE model of the iPad mini with Retina will cost you $529 for 16GB of storage, $629 for 32GB, $729 for 64GB and $829 for 128GB of space. In the U.S. this tablet will support for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon on the LTE-capable variant.
Press Release
While the new iPad mini with Retina doesn't look too different from the original, its upgraded processor and higher resolution display makes its a substantial upgrade. Meanwhile the original iPad mini has now been discounted to $299 for its base Wi-Fi model and $429 for its cellular model, in case you are looking into an entry to the iPad market.
You can purchase the iPad mini through Apple's online or retail stores, or through your local wireless carriers.
