Beside launching iPad Air, Apple has also announced a new iPad Mini with a Retina display.
The new iPad Mini includes the same 2048-by-1536 display resolution as its larger sibling, but crammed into a 7.9-inch screen.
The processor also gets a big upgrade to Appleās A7 chip, compared to the A5 processor inside the current Mini. On the downside, the iPad Mini with Retina display is about 0.05 pounds heavier than the non-Retina version, weighing 0.73 pounds with Wi-Fi and 0.75 pounds with 4G LTE.
All other tech specs are unchanged from last yearās model, including up to 10 hours of battery life while browsing the web.
Unfortunately, the high-resolution display comes at a price: Itās $70 more expensive, at $399 for the 16 GB model and $529 for one with 4G LTE. The iPad Mini with Retina display ships in November, but Apple didnāt give a specific release date.
Apple will continue to sell the 16 GB iPad 2 at the same $399 price tag as before. So if you want a Retina display in a full-sized iPad, youāll have to get the high-end model. The original iPad Mini is sticking around as well, but with a price drop to $299 for a 16 GB Wi-Fi model.
