iPad Mini 2 With Retina Display Rumored For Q3 2013 Launch

We had previously reported on the iPad mini 2 with a Retina display which was apparently delayed due to production issues. However according to Richard Shim, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch, he predicts that the iPad mini 2 with a Retina display is now back on track and could be released in the third quarter of 2013. Shim goes on to state that the 3^rd gen iPad mini would be released in Q1 2014 as well. This is an updated statement by Shim in which his previous statement suggested that a Retina iPad mini 2 could be released in the 2^nd half of 2013, with the 3^rd gen arriving in Q1 2014.

A Q3 2013 launch of the iPad mini 2 would not be entirely out of the question, especially since it would be around a year since it was launched in 2012, but to follow up with a 3^rd gen half a year later seems a bit suspect. In any case take this with a grain of salt for now, but we guess some of you guys will probably be relieved to learn that the Retina iPad mini 2 could be on track especially if you’re looking to upgrade.
