Retina ipad mini has dull color saturation

Just bought a new iPad mini with retina display yesterday.
I'm dissapointed with the mini display color, reds/blues/purple all were very dull. Obviously noticable right from the home screen (iTunes, Podcasts, Music icons)
Comparing the icon colors, and the same photo on my iPad 4 vs iPad mini retina and it's obvious that the full size iPad has way better color saturation.
After noticing the screen is below my expectations, I found the iLounge review of the new mini and they report similar color accuracy/saturation problems.
I'm going to return my mini.
Anyone else immediatly notice dull colors on their new retina mini?

I believe it's normal. I recently got a mini Retina and it's color saturation is not equal to either my iPad 3rd gen or 4th gen. I also have the non-Retina mini and it's screen compares pretty much to the mini Retina screen's color saturation. They are indistinguishable from each other, aside from the Retina's screen (of course) being sharper. I really don't think there's much you can do since it seems to affect both standard and Retina models.

Retina iPad mini battery problems

I have a 64GB Wifi/4G retina ipad mini. Mobile data is turned off.
I have also turned off all push and background refresh.
ATM my battery is on 50% with 2 hours 25 min usage. That time is made up of Netflix, Facebook, email and safari. I have had most iPads and never felt the battery had a problem.
My partner has the air, which has stats 3x better than mine.
Any idea what might be the matter? Faulty iPad? Bad backup?

Yeah, my brightness is always ~50.
I think the reporting is faulty. Last night I charged to 100%. I wanted a 23 minute episode on Netflix and the usage report said 16 minutes standy and 16 minutes usage?!?!?
So I then watched another episode which then had the usage recorded ok.
I ran it up to 2 hours 20 usage and had 75% battery left. Then I put netflix on and left it running episodes for a few hours, battery was 61% and usage was 2 hours 28!
I have known usage to go up when not in use but never the reverse and I have no idea what might be wrong?

Retina iPad Mini - Videos 60fps?

Hi,
Before buying I need to know if it's possible to make videos in 1080p/60fps with a Retina iPad mini?
Thanks.

Could anyone who has already bought an iPad Mini Retina
please check if this is possible?
Or maybe upload a sample video with best quality settings?
Many thanks!

HT201304 My iPad mini has my Apple account info on my general settings but a different different apple account in the App Store ,how can I change that?

Please help! My iPad mini has two different apple ids. My Apple ID in the general settings part and my family's id in the App Store. I need to fix it so that it's just one Apple ID and one password.

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

Wrong on all counts. Well except for the A5 post.
The 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 4s both have an Audience chipset for noise suppression/voice recognition that the iPad 2 et. al. do not have. The iPhone 5, 5th Generation iPod Touch, 4th Generation iPad and iPad Mini are using a different type of hardware based noise suppression/voice recognition that is an improvement over the Audience chipset (hope you didn't have Audience stock).

An app occupy the same space in the flash memory whether it is iPod Touch 5G or iPad Air / Retina iPad mini?

For example, Real Racing 3 takes 1.5 GB in my iPod Touch 5G. But it takes the same in the iPad Air / Retina iPad mini?

I think you didn't understand. I meant the size that takes from the flash memory. I hava an iPod Touch 5G and the app was 1.4GB the day that was release.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipad mini has many emails which say 'no content' and are not deletable. What are they are how do I delete them?

My ipad mini has many emails which say they have no content and I cannot delete them. The emails do not show up on my MacBook Air. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

Close the mail app and reset the iPad. Closing apps instructions are for iOS 7. If you're not running iOS 7, I assume that you know how to close apps in iOS 5 or 6. If you don't know how to close apps, just reset the iPad.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Ipad Mini has started zooming and opening apps on its own

Ipad Mini has started zooming in and out and opening apps on its own. I have gotten back to factory settings and it is still happening. Help!!

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
* No data is lost due to a reset

Ipad mini has disabled!!!

I managed to turn it off by pressing the sleep and home buttons together for 10 seconds and now it wont turn back on. I have plugged it in to charge to see if that makes any difference but it just keeps beeping while it is plugged in. please please help as this was a christmas present off his dad and i really dont want to have to tell him that my son broke it!!!!!

Looks like the computer is restoring your iPad.
Suggest you do not disconnnect iPad until computer say that the sync is completed.
After that try to reset by press the Sleep and Home button until you see the Apple Logo.
There is a possibility that there's a problem with your iPad screen.
