Apple introduced the iPad mini on October 23, 2012. The new iPad mini featured a 7.9-inch Multi-Touch™ display, FaceTime® HD and iSight® cameras, ultrafast wireless performance and 10 hours of battery life.
The new iPad mini with retina display is now available for shipping; the Apple Store began accepting orders as of today (Tuesday November 12, 2013).
“The response to iPad Air has been incredible, and we’re excited for customers to experience the new iPad mini with Retina display,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “We think customers will love both of these thin, light, powerful new iPads, and we’re working hard to get as many as we can in the hands of our customers.”
The Apple iPad mini is introduced with a suggested retail price of $399 (US) for the 16GB mode. Prices increase with each additional feature.
The Apple iPad mini with Retina display is available to order through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com) to ship or through Personal Pickup at Apple’s retail stores, and through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
