带Retina显示屏的iPad mini，2013年3月

    据《电子时报》（Digitimes）报道，仅去年3月的一个周末，苹果便售出了超过300万台带Retina显示屏的iPad。截至2012年底，iPad mini出货量约为800万-1,000万台。通过结合这两款产品的优点，苹果有望在迅速增长的平板电脑市场中维持自己的霸主地位。而且时间的选择也很有道理：2011年和2012年，苹果均选择在3月份发布新iPad。理论上，视网膜屏将使像素点在正常视距内很难被观测到，将使图像更加清晰。目前的iPad mini显示屏的分辨率与iPad 2相同，均为1024 x 768。

iPad mini with Retina Display, March 2013

    Apple sold more than 3 million iPads with retina display over a single weekend in March, and between 8-10 million iPad mini devices are reported to have shipped by the end of 2012, according to Digitimes. By combining the best of both products, Apple is hoping to maintain its place atop of the growing tablet market. The timing would make sense; Apple launched new iPads in March of 2011 (iPad 2) and 2012 (iPad with retina display). In theory, a retina display makes the pixels impossible to detect from a normal viewing distance, providing crystal clear images on the screen. The current iPad mini display has 1024-by-768 resolution, the same as the iPad 2.
