Its a lovely device, but i hate the screen ratio of 3:4... Too much black bars for my liking when watching videos
So far looks like the ship times haven't changed... Seemed like the ship times on the Air changed much quicker after launch... Wondering if the fear of limited supply on the Mini-R and the earlier availability of the Air has reduced demand enough on the Mini-R to not cause massive shortage??
Now that it's finally gone retina, and is that super duper ultra portable size and A7 in its innards? I think it will outsell its bigger brother, for sure, or even every tablet existing prior...
Now I would think the Nexus 7 2013 edition might have a little bit of the lead in specs, but come on, if Apple is the company selling this it's got to be best selling, right?
What you guys think?
I think it all depends on what people are looking for. If they want the larger size, the price most likely will not deter them from the mini. I think it is 2 separate categories they are aiming for and will attract different audiences. Now some will be swayed I am sure, for me personally I like the smaller and more portable size of the mini so if I decide to get one it will definitely be the mini with retina.
I think the Retina Mini will definitely outsell the Air, maybe not as as much as the original Mini vs the larger iPad. But given the fact the R-Mini has the same processor, same resolution, $100 cheaper, and assuming the same RAM, a lot people will go for the R-Mini. There's surely a reason why Apple released the Air first, and with just a bit more gap than the return period for the first Air buyers.
Surprisingly, the original mini did not outsell the iPad 4. At least not according to Localytics data (among 20m tablets surveyed). Source: iPhone 5c Narrowing 5s' Lead and What to Expect From Apple’s 10/22 iPad Launch
