Retina iPad mini will be delayed
iPad mini second generation launch will be delayed due to shortage of Retina displays. The company was planning to introduce the device at the end of 2013, to cover the Christmas shopping period. However, now the launch is put off till early 2014.
It is also rumored that Apple will be offering both Retina and non-Retina iPad mini second generation. However, it is still uncertain how the price will differ.
According to Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News, Apple is facing problems setting up production of displays that meet Retina standards. Thus it will be impossible to launch the new-sized tablet by the end of this year.
