Retina iPad mini Could Arrive In Second Half Of 2013, Says Analyst

The much-rumored iPad mini with Retina display could be launched in the second half of 2013. That's according to DisplaySearch analyst Paul Semenza, who based his prediction on supply chain data.

Semenza has told CNET that the Retina iPad mini will have a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536.

No surprise there. That's the same as the resolution of the full-size iPad with Retina display, which, at 9.7 inches, has a pixel density of 264 ppi.

The Retina iPad mini, at 7.9 inches, will result in a higher pixel density of 324 ppi.
