The iPad mini 2 with Retina display makes its debut today and it looks as if this model is almost as powerful as the iPad Air and iPhone 5S. In fact, it is five times more powerful than the original iPad mini. Whenever a new device is released, the benchmark tests begin and the iPad mini 2 has been put through its paces and compared with some of the other devices in the iOS product line. This new device is almost identical to the iPhone 5s in terms of speed, although both the iPad mini 2 with Retina display and the iPhone 5s fall slightly behind the iPad Air which is faster than both of these.
Considering that all these devices have the same A7 processor and M7 motion coprocessor, they are virtually identical in term fo their main hardware. The GeekBench results clock the iPad mini with Retina display in a 1.29 Ghz, with the iPhone 5s having already been clocked at 1.30 Ghz. The iPad Air comes in at 1.39 Ghz which brings some justification to the fact that the base model is $100 more expensive than that of the Retina iPad mini.
With that said, all three of these devices are powerful and smooth and many users would find it difficult to notice any real difference between the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina display in terms of general usage. When the Retina iPad mini is compared to the first generation mini however, there are real differences. This new model is 5 times more powerful and it is really noticeable.
The iPad mini has sold really well since it launched last year but many people felt it could have been better. The lack of Retina display was a big thing for many so fans are going to be delighted to finally have the Retina iPad mini available to them today. It might not be as powerful as the larger iPad Air but at least now people have the choice to choose between the larger or small iPad versions. Which iPad will you choose?
