iPad mini 1 or 2

I agree I just Bought a retina mini and this after holding out. I'm glad I did cause it seems to me the chipset makes some difference I've noticed and the screen is just beautiful and well worth it.

The screen on the Mini 2 is impressive, but it's nothing to shout about anymore. I'd buy it just for the A7.

I am a devout Apple fan, but just this once I'd have expected more considering their rivals' leaps and bounds.

The gamut and colour on the retina display really isn't as good as it is on any iPhones it is on nor the larger iPad..

 

I may be a lot more impressed than the average person. I'm new to the tablet world and my iPad Mini Retina is my debut and I'm glad I finally made the jump. Can't believe what I was missing. (I'm a late bloomer I know).

 

You and me both. The iPad Mini Retina is my first entry into the tablet world. I'm very satisified. I'm using it mostly for reading books, magazines, Flipboard, games and some video.

 

Cool! What size did you get? Color? I have the White/Space Grey 32GB Wifi only. I knew I was getting an iPad for awhile but stood on the fence for a long time figuring out what size to get. I thought 16GB was too small but my iPhone 5 is 32GB as well and I don't use too much of it, now I'm wondering what to do w/this space on my iPad now lol. Better to have more memory than not enough I take it.

I have the Silver-White 32 GB iPad Mini Retina with Cellular. I always wait until they improve on the technology. I knew the iPad Mini would get a retina screen the following year so I waited. I really think Apple should do away with 16 GB and start with 32 GB and they should lower the prices of storage upgrades, instead of $100 to $40-$50. For me 16 GB isn't enough by the time they add the OS. I'm very pleased with my iPad Mini Retina.

 

I totally agree. 16GB iPhones and iPads have issues w/software updates that need bigger space. Like iOS 7 did. They can't cut the cake now w/all the new apps and software updates.

Btw. I guess I have what's called Silver/White too. Not the hybrid I created and put on my earlier post when I said White/Space Grey lol.

I have a lot of music on mine so after my library there's not much left. Can't see myself using 16GB w/o running out of space.

I think it is all about what you use the iPad for. I have friends who use their iPads mostly for videos and movies. I always recommended that they go for at least a 64 GB model. Like you I keep very little music on my iPad, and not many photos either.

 

Not everyone can afford a 64 gb model. Many can barely afford a 16 gb model. So for them, space management is important. I don't yet have an iPad. But on my 16 gb iPhone, storing movies and tons of music is out. I do watch movies, but then they get deleted. I keep about 200 songs at any given time.
