iPad Mini 2 details and prices

iPad Mini 2 Coming late in November

 

 

iPad mini with Retina display is amazing to hold. And behold. Every photo is incredibly detailed and vibrant, and every line of text is remarkably crisp and clear. With higher resolution than an HDTV, it’s stunning — on a whole new scale.

• Retina display
• 7.9-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Multi-Touch display with IPS technology
• 2048-by-1536 resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
• Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating

Don’t let its size fool you. iPad mini is powered by the new A7 chip with 64-bit architecture. A7 delivers killer performance — up to four times faster CPU and up to eight times faster graphics performance than the previous generation — without sacrificing battery life. So you get incredible power in a device you can take with you wherever you go. A7 chip with 64-bit architecture and M7 motion coprocessor

iPad apps are like no other. Because they’re designed just for iPad, they look amazing and use every pixel of the beautiful display. iPad mini comes with great built-in apps for the everyday things you do, like checking email and surfing the web. To help you be even more creative and productive, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are now available for free. And over 475,000 other incredible iPad apps are just a tap away in the App Store.² With apps like these, iPad mini can do just about anything — which means you can, too. 

iPad mini keeps you connected faster than ever. In more locations than ever. Using two antennas instead of one and MIMO technology, iPad mini delivers twice the Wi-Fi performance of its predecessor. And the Wi-Fi + Cellular model supports more LTE bands than ever, so you can make quick, easy connections the world over.³

iOS 7 was designed to take advantage of 64-bit architecture. So it’s every bit as advanced as the iPad mini it runs on. And with new features like smarter multitasking, Control Center, and AirDrop, iOS 7 makes the experience of using iPad mini even more beautiful and simple. Because iOS 7 and iPad mini weren’t just designed to work together, they were designed to enhance one another.

Apple sent out invitations for October 22, 2013 event:"We still have a lot to cover".

Today Apple sent out invites for an event on October 22, where the company is expected to debut new versions of the iPad (5) and iPad Mini (2), along with Macs. The event is taking place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco next Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT. 

Speculations about the iPads both models will be upgraded of course to iOS7 and will bring the finger reader sensor on the home button. At least the iPad 5 will come also with A7/M7 chip and we expect the iPad Mini 2 will port 1GB RAM, both models maybe with a quadcore cpu.

Surprise might be if the small one will come with a new size 8.5 inch maybe, or just a 8 inch.

iPad fans grab your calendars, the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 to be announced in Oct 22.

iPad fans grab your calendars, the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 to be announced in Oct 22.

Yep, your heard right, People familiar with Apple’s plans tell AllThingsD that the company will hold its next invitation-only event on Tuesday, October 22.

Apple will unveil the latest updates to the company’s iPad line, but the new Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks will likely get some stage time as well.

iPad is expected to feature a thinner, lighter design akin to the iPad mini’s, and an improved camera. It will run Apple’s new 64-bit A7 chip. The second-generation iPad mini will be upgraded with a retina display and also likely see the A7 incorporated into its innards.

And it is very secure both tablets models will come in with the fingerprint reader sensor as we wrote on this post:

The date of Apple’s fall event coincides with Nokia’s Innovation Reinvented showcase where is going to announce a tablet, and comes just a day after Microsoft’s new Surface 2 starts shipping.

Current Editorials was first to report October 22 as the date of Apple’s fall event.

iPad 5, iPad mini 2,and iPhone 6 release date Sept 6th.

iPad 5, iPad mini 2,and  iPhone 6 release date Sept 6th.

Apple is strongly hinting that the release date for the iPad 5, iPad mini 2 and iPhone 6 is coming on or shortly after September 6th, offering a promo to college students which gives them a fifty dollar iTunes gift card with the purchase of an iPad or iPhone until that date. Apple has made such offers to students in the past, and they’ve typically ended up coinciding with the launch of new generations of whichever of its mobile products were included in the deal. The offer is a way of blowing out remaining inventory of the new models in the interim.

The week of September 6th starts off with the Labor Day holiday, making it unlikely Apple will unveil the new iPad 5, iPad mini 2 and iPhone 6 during that week, but will instead allow the college offer to expire on the 6th and then introduce the new models the following Tuesday, September 10th. They would each see their release dates at retail stores shortly thereafter. Apple has often held press events on the second Tuesday of September in order to introduce its fall lineup of new products. In past years the new iPads have debuted in the fall and the new iPhones in the summer, but Apple has since shifted those dates such that the iPad 5, iPad mini 2 and iPhone 6 will all reach their one year anniversaries in the fall.

Apple’s own college iTunes promo coincides with retailers offering significant price cuts on the iPhone 5 to clear out inventory ahead of the iPhone 6 release date, along with more modest price cuts on current iPads ahead of the release date for the iPad 5 and the iPad mini 2.
