7.9" screen with 1024 x 768 res..

Next year ipad mini 2 with retina display. Heard it here first.

A shame for Apple that 7 inch tablets are already 1280*800.

That leaves me a bit apprehensive because you know the next gen mini will have retina..

No,No,No,No!!!!!!! I brought a ipad 3rd gen on release. Now they are releasing the 4th gen!!

Oh no!!!!! What ever will you do!!!!!

Don't get why it is a **** take exactly. They still update less than competitors I reckon.

ipad 3.5

loooooooool " ipad 3 owners, bye bye second hand values.

Nice one Apple.

Seems a shame they're still avoiding a 16:9 ratio screen, i'd be much more inclined to go for one if they were, it would be immeasurably better for media playback.

"Others have tried to make tablets smaller than the iPad and they've failed miserably. These are not great experiences."

This is where it gets interesting...

I CAN NOT believe after all that its not a retina display! How is that clever! Its a backwards leap!!!

Nexus 7 for $100 is for you.

It will still sell...

Everyone knew the iPad2 would have a camera but still bought the iPad1

Well, now they're just digging for excuses.

uniQ · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:58

It's obviously so they can bring the price down. Although I would gladly pay more for one with retina.

DiCe! · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:58

deff fiddled with the colours to make the bezel on the nexus stand out more

muon · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:58

Chrome has full screen mode muppet. With swipe in controls.

Sold on the iPad Mini provided the base version is £250 or less.

Also sold on the new iMacs, but can't afford them. Absolutely mind-blowing.

POB · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:59

Now show us a movie Phill.

JAzz · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:59

Does this mean a newer version will be out come March? Or is just a slightly refreshed model

Oh no indeed, they have worked on a one year cycle up until now and similar for the iPhone so I would like to think it would continue.

I bet he isn't going to compare the Maps app.

POB · 23 Oct 2012 at 19:00

If you like to use Maps.
If you like to watch Movies.
