Which should I buy, the iPad mini with retina display or the iPad Air?

I Was thinking of buying an iPad but I'm not to sure which one to buy. They both have good reviews and they both look good but from anybody else's point of view which one would be better to buy?
help?
thankyou.

Depends upon what you will be using it for. If you expect to be doing a lot of on-screen typing then the larger iPad with the larger screen/keyboard may be better, if one of the main uses will be as an ebook reader then the smaller-lighter Mini might be better. I don't know what country that you are in but in the US the Mini is $100 cheaper, which could be used for a cases, apps, music etc
Do you have a local store that has both in so that you can try both ?

With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

I want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?

Thank you

Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

Shall I buy the iPad mini 2?

So essentially, I wanted a smaller portable iPad that I could pop in my bag and carry it wherever I want. At home, I have the larger macbook pro so if it's movies I want to watch, i normally just tend to watch them on there. This iPad would be for university and even though, I have the macbook, I could watch the occasional movie or two on something smaller.
This is why I wanted the iPad mini 2 and since I wanted it in black and that I wasn't overly impressed with the touch ID that I have on my phone, I'm bypassing the iPad 3. I'd much more prefer to spend the money I'm saving from choosing the mini 2 than the 3 on an extended warranty.
My problem is, since the iPad 2 was released this time last year in 2013, will it be discontinued any time soon? The iPad mini 3 was released in October a few months ago, it was disappointingly bad. Considering the rumours of the mini series being discontinued, is it still wise to buy the iPad mini 2? Will it still receive the software support, in allowing it to use future ios system. I really do love the small size of it but if there's a big chance it'll be discontinued, I'm not sure if im better suited to buying an air 2 even though id hate the size.
I'd appreciate any help on the matter.

No one can predict what Apple will do. If you need/want the iPad at this point in time, purchase it and use it.
If you don't need nor require the Touch ID (fingerprint scanner) that the iPad mini 3 has over the iPad mini 2, you can save yourself $100 and go with the mini 2. As you probably know, the mini 2 and the mini 3 are identical in specs and hardware *except* for the Touch ID sensor.
I was in the same situation when I heard of the mini 3...I was set to buy one (in addition to an already owned mini 2) until I saw the (negligible) differences in hardware and the price premium for that difference. I bought a second mini 2.

HT4060 I can't find a definite answer anywhere regarding whether or not you need to turn the iPad mini off before charging. So my question is should I turn the iPad mini off or leave it on before charging? Thanks in advance.

I rarely if ever turn my iPad off. I charge it when the battery is low or at night while I'm sleeping. Even then I close the Smart Cover and let it sleep but I do not turn it off. It doesn't matter when you charge the iPad.
The most efficient way to charge the iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.

Should i buy the ipad 2 even though i got a new pc?

should I get the ipad if i just got a new pc?

I love my iPad, but it really depends on what you think you'd do with one. I have a laptop, but the portability of the iPad has it beat. However, if you need to do a lot of work work, access and modify documents, work with spreadsheets, etc., you may find iPad a bit of a letdown. For me, all I do workwise on my iPad is read and answer email. Otherwise, it's just a brilliant entertainment device. All the apps are fun. I have a book library through iBooks and Kindle. I read magazines through Zinio. I watch TV and movies through Netflix. I listen to Pandora radio and just have a great time when I'm using my iPad.
You just need to think about what you need iPad to do for you.

Based off last update should I buy the Mac Mini?

Hello,
I think this is my first post on the Apple Discussion Boards. It may seem a little weird but me get down to it.
I want to buy a Mac Mini to run Windows 7 on it to run as computer that runs like an Apple TV showing HD streaming content over my Wireless N network to my HD TV via HDMI and to run as a proxy server to route all my internet traffic on my network through it. The reason I want a Mac Mini is for the energy effciency of it.
That being said I'm worried about buying a Mac Mini because it hasn't been updated in over 450 days and I keep thinking that they will release something that will better suit my needs.
What do you folks think about this? Should I spring for it now? Will the MD387LL/A fit my needs?

My experience going back to 2006, is that regardless of what Intel Mac you get, Windows will run faster on it than on ANY PC that costs less than $10,000.
And you can stream to a TV with OS X. You really don't need Windows for that.

How do I know if the iPad mini has the retina display, before buying it, by the box it comes in?

I was recently trying to buy an iPad Mini with retina display but the box it was in did not say anything about whether it had the retina display. Also the price they were going to charge me was $299 and not the $399 of the Mini with retina display. So how do I know by looking at the box if the Ipad Mini in the box has the retina display?

By this;
The model number on the back cover is:
A1489 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi
A1490 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular"
do you mean on the back cover of the box or the iPad itself. If it is only on the back side of the iPad itself, then I wont know if I have actually purchased the iPad Mini with retina display until I have opened the box. To me this is unacceptable as it creates a huge hassle if my intent was to buy thr iPad Mini with retina display but was actually sold the iPad Mini without retina display. When I return it for eith the right iPad mini or my money back, certain retailers have a habit of treating such people like criminals even when it was the retailers mistake. The box should be clearly maked to indicate which iPad mini in contains so the purchaser does not have to feel like they're playing roulette.
Today I was trying to buy the iPad Mini with retina display and made it very clear to those working at this retailer that was my intent. This paricular retailer has you talk to their sales people on the floor and they give you a print out of the item you are purchasing. Then the customer takes it to the cahier who takes to the stockroom and brings it back to the customer. I asked the cashier if it was indeed the iPad Mini with retina display and they said yes. So I asked how can you tell by the box? The cashier told me all the boxes look like this one. I said to them, if it is the iPad Mini with retina display whay is it priced $299 like the original iPad Mini without retina display? I walked out without buying it. Some poeple may have thought oh good I'm getting the iPad Mini with retina display for the price of the iPad mini without retina display when in fact they be only getting the original iPad mini without retina display.
Your response helped me but it does not solve the problem as far as I am concerned of being able to tell what iPad Mini is in the box simply by what is on the outside of the box. You may say, what difference does it make? My response is, not all retailers are scrupulous!

Should I get an iPad mini or iPad with Retina Display?

Help! I'm about to start college soon and I was thinking of buying an iPad. Thing is, I'm not sure which one I should get. I'll mainly be using the iPad for eBooks, taking notes, and other class related things. I just want to here some other peoples opinion on which iPad I should get. Should it be the iPad mini or the iPad with Retina Display?
I realize that I could just bring my laptop but I don't want to lug it around and have to carry the charger cords and all that.

Hi,
First, I think the size of the ipad is very individual. Some love the idea of 'put a mini in your pocket and go.' Others want to hang out somewhere and read more easily, watch movies/tv, etc. among other things, on a bigger screen. If you are near an Apple store, you might want to take a trip there and check out what your preference might be.
If money is an issue, as it is for many students or parents with students in college, consider looking in the Apple refurbished store. And this is because more important than the physical size of the ipad, is the AMOUNT OF SPACE you will buy vs. how much space you will end up needing as a college student.
My son got his ipad 2 refurb in the Apple refurb store before he started his junior year in college last year. He thought 32 gb would be more than enough, but some time during the school year, he used about 50 gb of his ipad 2 64 gb which was the way to go. He has to have apps and space for required financial newspapers, pdf's for class, text books, and of course, movies, tv shows, and music, and all that goes with it - netflix, hbo go, mlb, nfl, and other sports apps... The list goes on.
Following is a little more detail from a post I responded to this past week.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22601600?ac_cid=ha123456#22601600
PLEASE NOTE - Whatever you decide - I read about an app last year and my son got it. It allows him to use anything on his imac (in his dorm) on his ipad and it works anywhere on campus. For example. if he's working on a paper on MS Word or Excel on his imac, and he's somewhere else on campus, he can actually work on his paper in its current program, save changes, etc., so he doesn't have to deal with many of the ios apps that sometimes change format and fonts in translation from mac/pc to ipad. wherever he is because pretty much all campuses have wireless. (It works everywhere for him on his big campus except in one classroom.)
However, when I was checking for updates on it the other day, I found one that sounds better than Splashtop. It's now the top paid app in the business in the app store, reviews are great, and for anywhere access does not require a cellular ipad. It's called Jump Desktop and it works with macs and pcs with your ipad.
Hope this helps and enjoy college!

Do i need to sign a contract when buying an ipad mini wifi+cellular?

I'm going to Paris for my summer vacation and I was planning to buy an iPad mini in an Apple store in Paris, Wi-Fi + cellular model. So I was wondering if I can buy the iPad mini without contract and then use the Sim card from my country.

No, you do not have to activate the iPad when it is purchased. I have had one for over 6 months and have never activated it. Using it in your home country will depend on the network requirments there and how compatible they are with the specifications of a French iPad.
As far as warranty goes, currently, you would need to return the iPad to France (or the country of purchase) for service. Although there are rumors of a change to this, but like all rumors, who knows if or when that may change.
Good luck.

Should i buy the iphone 5 or ipad mini retina display( a low end phone for calling) ??

i m a college student and i travel by train. Usually i check my mails, whatsapp ,etc while travelling and hanging out. Can the ipad mini replace my old phone in terms of these purposes?

Really, only you can decide. I'd suggest going to your local Apple Store and playing with both devices. Get a feel for screen size. The iPhone has a very small screen. Many people do not consider it ideal for reading. On the other hand, some people don't like carrying two devices and therefore go with the iPhone.
Keep in mind that, for what you want, unless the trains you ride have WiFi, you're going to need the iPad with Cellular which will add to the price.
