It's official. The Apple iPad Mini 2 Retina Display is now available! Time reports that the release date has not been officially announced, but the tech giant has already made it available via their online store.

If you will settle for the Wi-Fi versions with minimum storage options of 16 or 32 GB, then its shipping duration will last from 1 to 3 business days. The rest of the other models with different storage details like the 4G LTE variants and the 64 and 128 GB sizes will take 5 to 10 days instead.

The iPad Mini 2 Retina Display has a starting price of $399 for the Wi-Fi versions but for the 4G LTE, it's $529. It has the modern and fast A7 processor that can also be found on the newest gadgets of Apple which are the iPhone 5s and the iPad Air.

MacWorld emphasizes that the original iPad Mini fans maintains its shape so as to still win the hearts of its fans. The old accessories that users use with the original Mini can still fit and be used with the new one. An expert review writer, Jason Snell, mentioned that users of the new tablet won't easily notice the change in weight but eventually one would suspect the new one is about 20 to 30 grams heavier.

The reviewer expressed how impressed he was with how clear the much talked about retina display was when he used it for reading several comic issues of 'Saga' and 'Hawkeye.' This just means that the iPad Mini Retina Display will perfectly please customers who love viewing bigger images or graphics without compromising the need for portability and convenience.

If you are someone who likes to have an easy to carry Apple tablet that can offer crisp display of text and images, then there's no doubt that you should place your order for the latest iPad Mini with retina display.
