The thing is, I haven't installed ios 8 on my first generation ipad mini. I'm wondering if it will make it run slower than it currently is with ios 7? I want to wait for the bugs to be worked out of ios 8. When that happens, then I can see how much slower it is. I would assume that the ipad mini 2 will make a difference running ios 8.

Hi Russ,

If I were you I'd wait a year unless there is something wrong with your current iPad Mini. Yes, the iPad Mini Retina gives you a retina screen (probably not important for you) and it will give you the A7 processor which will give you a bit better speed. However, unless you really feel you need Alex which in my opinion sounds less clear than the default high quality female voice, why not get a third year out of your device and then upgrade next year when there will be some real changes. Just my thought on this.


Regards,

I'll probably get the ipad mini 2 instead of the ipad mini 3.  As of now, I
have the first generation ipad mini.  In my case, updating to the ipad mini
2 will be an upgrade of hardware.

Somebody else just posted stating that the processor in the mini has not
been updated. If that is true, my original statement stands. Why the hell by
the new one? Take advantage of the price drop and get the old one.

Not in the Mini, it is still the a7 chip.

Hello,
Yes. It’s the A8X chip.

They have also dropped the price points so for $499 you can get the 16
GB WiFi, $599 you can get the 64 GB 'wiFi model and for $699, the 128
GB.

The new Mini will be available in gold and have the touch ID sensor.
Other then that, it's the same device.
You're better off grabbing last year's model if those two features
aren't important to you.
I guess the other thing that is a plus is that pricing seems to be
headed down. With the lack of a 32GB model, the 64 and 128 GB devices
are $100.00 cheaper pushing the older versions down too. By offering the
16 GB iPads at the same introductory price, it's like Apple wants you to
just buy the larger storage options instead.
I guess if you're into the enhanced photo and video aspects with the new
Air 2, the new versions may be interesting, but  all in all,
underwhelming.

Hi all,

I just ran over to the Apple store website to compare the Mini 2 & 3.
If I am reading things correctly, the only change is the addition of
fingerprint security?

For a minut, I thought the Mini 3 had upgraded wi-fi signals, but I’m
not sure.  They both say Wi‑Fi (802.11a/​b/​g/​n); dual channel (2.4GHz
and 5GHz) and MIMO.  iPad2 says, Wi‑Fi (802.11a/​b/​g/​n); dual channel
(2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO.

Lol, that’s the same, correct?  The iPad3 spacificly mentions 2 wi-fi
antennas, where I cannot find those words for the 2nd Gen retina model.

Anyway, what do you guys know about the differences in the 2 models?

Thanks,
Traci
