iPad Mini 2 With Retina Display Will Be Released This Summer.
iPad Mini 2 With Retina Display. To be or not to be? After presentation in October favourite subject for criticism of Apple was display iPad mini, and more exactly, his resolution. Engineers have installed a screen in new tablet similar to iPad 2. Many spoiled with technology Retina users felt they were not ready to buy a “defective” tablet and even higher compared to iPad 2 pixel density does not help a situation.

Marketing does its job, and people get used to the good. Minority are ready to have compromise and use the device with a display where is not using the most advanced technologies. Benefit that manufacturers of component are not just sitting, and there are already rumours about compact tablet of second generation.

Sources in Apple supply system has reported that AU Optronics has already started working on iPad mini 2, with a resolution of screen 2048×1536 pixels. Display manufacturers improved an uninterrupted supplying of screens for iPad mini, and now he can put efforts to the development of screens for the next generation tablet.

According to information resolution will double, what will give a very high pixel density – 326 ppi. This will allow you to run applications on the iPad mini, designed for full-size tablet with a Retina screen, without optimization.

The main problem of the use of Retina display is in size of the tablet. At the moment, Apple engineers could not fit inner part into a small and slim housing, so it’s not surprising that the first generation has a “usual” screen. Screens with high pixel density, has one major problem: as the higher resolution, as display required more light elements, and to increase it is necessary to increase the capacity of the battery. So, to make higher resolution screen need to put more components in the tablet, and together to increase the size of the battery. IPad mini with Retina could become a weighty fat that no one would like because of the thickness and weight.

The only solution is technology IGZO, developed by Sharp. With it is possible to reduce the number of used light elements without losing brightness and colour saturation and extend battery up to four times. We hope that Apple will not hasten to update their devices, and the issue of the new model will not happen until autumn of 2013.
