Re: retina display, what is it
I'm not Richard, and I don't see the post you're responding to, but a retina display is the term Apple uses for their displays with particularly high pixel density.

Re: retina display, what is it
I have iPhone, iPad and Mac. And an old machine that is running linux. No Windows at present but have had that too. I like everything I have, but I understand the issue of not accumulating possessions. If that's your priority, maybe you should just get a newer phone with more storage. If I had to only have two things, it would be my iPad that I would eliminate though I wouldn't want to get rid of it. If I really could do everything I needed to do without a computer and wanted to get down to one item, I'd keep my phone. It isn't that there aren't some nice things about an iPad vs a phone but if I really was going to choose only one, it would be the phone. Now, if an iPad were also a phone device, it might be a harder decision to make. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears!

Re: retina display, what is it
I think, what we need to consider also the processor of such device. Yes, you can get an ipad2, or ipad mini 1st gen, but you are compromising the processor speed. Of course, some would argue that if the main concern you have for an ipad is to browsing the net, streaming video and perhaps read a book or two, might not matter. But, the reality is this, in the long run, it matters as most apps will going to need more processor and power to run, not to mention the ability to run the latest OS smoothly.
