It seems like Apple was surprised by the iPad mini demand - it shifted three million units of the new iPad 4 and iPad mini in three days alone. so it will be looking to make something that can really wow the crowds with the follow up.
The likely scenario is that the iPad mini 2 will have an even sharper display of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels packed into the same 7.9-inch space, which will bring it closer to the impossible sharpness of the Nexus 7 2013.
In addition to an Apple A6X processor, an 8 megapixel camera is also expected to sit on the rear of the device.
Any other information on the specs of the upcoming tiny tablet have been few and far between, with the main focus on the display and case. However the battery will need to be boosted to accomodate the new Retina display, and we'd therefore expect an uprated GPU to help things out.
Price:
When the iPad mini was first released, reports said the steep price point of $329/£269/AU$369 was due to manufacturing difficulties. Indeed, well into early 2013, iPad minis were not shipping quickly.The new GF DITO touchscreen technology that helps make the mini so small is reportedly one of many production hurdles.
