Next iPad Mini Will Have Higher-Resolution Display?

Digitimes reports that Apple will center next iPad mini’s improvements around the tablet’s display resolution. The report said:

“The sources have yet to specify whether the device will use Apple’s Retina Display technology to enhanced resolution, but market observers said it is highly likely based on the development of past Apple products such as the iPhone and 9.7-inch iPad series.”

Adding a Retina display to a thin iPad mini could be a difficult task for Apple, possibly requiring a more powerful processor and a large battery as it did when Apple incorporated the Retina display to the full-size iPad. Earlier AnandTech predicted that, due to this restriction, the next iPad mini will not include a Retina display.

Digitimes also claims that the next model of the full-size iPad will be lighter as its 9.7-inch Retina display will be powered with only one LED light bar instead of two light bars that are currently in the iPad 3 and iPad 4.
