Now that Apple has a tentative Quarter 3 release timetable out for the release of the Mini 2 and iPad 5 which path would you take for you next upgrade? I think the general consensus is that the Mini 2 will be receiving it's much anticipated Retina Display.. But it will have to come with a cost.. In the form of a Higher Capacity Battery to push those Retina pixels and maintain the current 9-10 hour average usage the current Mini is getting.. That's going to most likely mean added weight and bulk to the current chassis and maybe even a slightly Bigger chassis to house this battery..
But wait ! you know the 5th Gen iPad is going to get slimmer and lighter right? Maybe loose a 1/2 pound..and get closer to 1lb.. down from it's current 1.44lbs
and if the Mini 2 has to gain a few ounces ( and it will with an upgrade in battery capacity ) say up from it's current .68lb to .75-80lb they are going to be very close in weight..
Which way would you go? and why?
