Everyone saw it coming — that Apple’s 2nd iPad Mini will sport a Retina Display just like the other iPads in its generation. So now it’s here and everybody wants one. Check out our full review of the iPad Mini with Retina Display after the jump.
When we first ordered the iPad Mini 2 last week, stocks were sparse and at least 4 of the stores we went to and asked had them all out of stock.
Either there were limited inventory set aside for the Philippines or demand was so high they immediately ran out after the first batch came in. We suggest reading our first-generation iPad Mini review first before proceeding.
Design and Construction.
As usual, Apple didn’t make any design changes with the iPad Mini 2 compare to the old one from a year ago. What they changed is the internal hardware — better processor like the iPhone 5S, larger battery, better screen.
The larger battery size was added to compensate for more power required by the Retina Display. As such, the dimensions of the iPad Mini 2 got a bit thicker by a hair (7.2mm vs. 7.5mm).
The only other cosmetic changes they made are the colors — space gray and silver (no longer black and white). Just like the iPhone 5S, we believe this slight change in color is more of a visual indicator that it is the new device and not the older generation.
Everything else is exactly the same as the old one — power button and 3.5mm audio port at the top, volume controls and lock switch on the right side, speaker grills and lightning bolt port at the bottom. The dual microphones are situated the the top end.
As we mentioned this before, the Mini 2 is still very thin and very light that you would not think twice of bringing all the time because of the negligible weight and thickness it added to your daily luggage.
Display.
It’s pretty obvious the focus of this new update is the display. Apple has been like that with the previous iPads so the Mini 2 is just routinary. From a mere 1024×768 pixels (163ppi), Apple doubled the horizontal and vertical resolution to 2048×1536 pixels. That’s a pixel density of 325ppi which is already in the Retina display range.
HD games and apps looked much more stunning on the iPad Mini 2. Movies looked just as great too. You will clearly notice the difference when you place the two iPad Minis side by side.
The screen has fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating which minimizes smudges and fingerprints on the display area.
OS, Apps and UI.
The smaller screen proved to be a challenge when it comes with using the virtual keyboard. With the bigger iPads, it was easy to touch-type with both hands as the size and distance of the keys were enough.
With the iPad Mini, it’s already cramped. This obstacle will actually force you to change the way you type — by holding it with both hands and finger-typing with the thumb, just like what you would do with a large smartphone.
Perhaps, one of the biggest strengths of the iPad Mini is its operating system and app ecosystem. iOS, despite its simple and straightforward UI implementation, has truly matured. It has not really changed its look since day one which helped it adopt to all sizes of iOS devices it’s been installed into — iPod Touch, iPhone and iPads.
Multimedia and Camera.
The iPad and the iPad Mini has always been a great device for multimedia — apps, gaming, podcasts, movies and streaming. With the higher resolution screen, HD games and movies looked way better than before.
Perhaps our only complaint (and this is the quintessential one) is that you are being forced to be dependent on iTunes as your media hub. While it makes things simpler and more organized, the limitations are also sometimes crippling.
As for the camera, we did not notice any improvements from the old one. Picture quality is already good though for a tablet, and so is the video.
Performance and Benchmarks.
The iPad Mini 2 came with the latest 64-bit Apple A7 chip which makes sure that the Retina display works flawlessly and the experience is the same if not better than its predecessor. So while you won’t really feel a big difference form the old Mini, the performance is as good or better in some occasions.
We did a couple of benchmarks just to see how it fares — it scored 10,193 on 3DMark (Ice Storm Extreme) and 447.8ms in Sunspider.
Gaming is one of the iPad Mini’s strong suits and with the Mini 2, it continued to be a gaming powerhouse. For a sleek and portable tablet, you can enjoy any of the hundreds of thousands of games in the App Store.
Connectivity and Battery Life.
The iPad Mini 2 has all the basics like WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. There’s an optional 3G/LTE variant as well. What’s lacking is NFC which is becoming a standard in devices.
Like the iPad with Retina display, the iPad Mini 2 also got a little thicker due to added battery capacity. This made sure that the original 10 hours of battery life from the previous generation is maintained with the new models, despite the power-hungry display upgrade.
In our actual use, we still managed to get about 9 hours on a single full charge from running a full HD video in a loop at 50% brightness and 0% volume.
And since our review unit is just the WiFi model, we’re unable to test the mobile connectivity (LTE).
Conclusion.
The iPad Mini with Retina display is essentially the same iPad Mini we used to know and love. It’s just faster and better. The improvements are exactly where we wanted them. Our only complaint is that Apple priced it way higher than we expected (almost 20-25% from the previous version) putting it in the same price range as the bigger iPads.
Apple continues to make the iPad Mini a great portable device — sexy, portable and powerful. We just could not figure out why’d they go for silver and space gray.
It’s available on Globe and Smart under various postpaid data plans. It is also being sold in the Apple PH Online Store, starting at Php20,490 for the 16GB WiFi-only model.

auto tracking says:
WHEN your pride and joy is stolen you always hope you’ll see it again.
Tracking services naturally boost the chances of recovery, but one lucky bike
owner has Bike Trac and Interpol to thank for the return of their prized possession after a particularly
lengthy search.
Taken on a Monday evening from South London, the £12,000 Ducati 899 Panigale was quickly confirmed as stolen thanks to
the equipped Bike Trac unit communicating with its owner and the firm’s
operating centre.
Despite everyone’s best efforts the bike crossed the English Channel before UK police could reach
it. However, a mixture of GPS signal and the triangulation of mobile phone masts across Europe allowed
Bike Trac to keep an eye on its movements.
Now Tuesday and with the bike in Lithuania, the tracking team traced it to the town of Vilnius.
The following day, and with the help of Interpol, local
Lithuanian authorities moved in and secured the stolen bike.
Commenting on the operation, Sue Hitchmough, General Manager for Bike Trac parent company Road Angel Group, said: “To recover a stolen motorcycle over 1,000 miles away is no better example of the effectiveness of tracking technology. This is naturally a huge success for us, but it’s also a great example to everyone that tracking really does work.
“I’d like to personally thank everyone involved in this recovery from our team at HQ to Interpol and to the Lithuanian authorities. It’s very pleasing to know so many people want to stamp out bike theft.”

Ive read about it all online, apparently the new retina display has issues with refresh rates. For those of you buying, you might want to check it out first (you can google image retention on ipad mini retina). You dont want to pay 21k for aomething that isnt at par quality wise. :) happy new year!

Dito ako ngayon sa New Year party ng bilas ko as I’m doing it, hehe.
Still no biggie to be honest, the Mini still has a GREAT display!
deviLpaO says:
I was choosing between the iPad mini retina and an android tablet. For obvious reasons the iPad did not offer anything revolutionary from the previous one. I have an iPhone 5 and it’s pretty much the same, only bigger.
I decided to get the Nexus7 2ndGen. For me it’s better. High resolution display, competitive hardware and…..it’s Android. Meaning more flexibility and customization. The 7inch display is just about right. I made the right choice. The best of both worlds.
MJRI says:
For me, the setup having the best of both worlds is having an Android phone and an iOS tablet. Why? The Android phone offers a lot of customization that I need with me all the time. The iOS tablet will serve as an entertainment powerhouse which we all know it does superbly.
Just my two cents. Too bad I have an iPhone 5, and no tablet. Hehe.
