Unfortunately, the title doesn't suggest there may not be a retina version in the fall. A retina mini is something a lot of people are expecting and wanting and there has been much discussion of it here. If Apple decides not to release it this year after so many others have introduced high-res screens on tablets, what can the excuse be? Of course, if they don't release one then I won't be compelled to upgrade, but I think a lot of folks will find Apple waning in competitiveness.
You may be right although the same argument has been made since the original iPad, when updates have come out and they haven't included something that other tablets have then the downfall of Apple has been predicted......if they don't update with retina display then I'm sure that they have their reasons and I'm also sure they'll do ok.
Personally, my eyes are so bad that I may not be able to tell the difference anyway......so I can definitely wait lol!

Apple never did, and never will, add USB ports and removable batteries...but they invented the retina display. Them not following through there is going to leave people with a real reason to scratch their heads. Of course, if the the reason is because battery life will drop too much or the weight increase will be too large, then I can live with that. Thinking back, that was the reason I gave them a pass last November....geez...

Woohoo--I just ordered my iPad mini! I am ok without having retina display--quite honestly, I don't think I would have noticed. My shipping date to the store is next Thursday!! Yippee!!
You'll probably notice the screen is better as it has the same number of pixels as the iPad 2 but in a smaller space!
Congratulations, I can't wait to see the photos when it arrives!

Good for you, Ski! I think you'd notice the retina, but there are other important things in life beyond retina.
