While customers waiting for Apple to launch a Retina display-toting ipad Mini may have to hold out until the third quarter,one analyst believes the company is already preparing a third-generation device set for debut in the first quater of 2014.
Following an ealier today from CNET,where analyst Richard Shim claimed a Retina ipad Mini would be realeased in 2014,another report has been published from the same analyst,but this time,stating that a retina ipad Mini will be in production in the coming mounths,for a release sometime this year.
Shim's statements echo those of noted analyst Ming-Chi kuo,Who in April said setbacks pertaining to adequate display production could see a later than experted release for the so-called"ipad Mini 2."
Previous estimates also pointed to a quarter three release for the as yet unannounced tablet,which would be consistent with apple's usual yearly refresh cycle.

Apple will reported retail the ipad Mini 2 in 16GB,32GB and 64GB storage configuration without memory expansion slot plus a camera mix of 8MP on the main and 2MP for the secondary snapper.
Powering the slap is a leaner iOS7, which likely will draw its might from a powerhouse A6X chip.There is a possibility,however,that Apple will bump up the CPU muscles of the Mini 2 in time for 2013 issuance,giving the device an A7 chip instead,Mobileak said.
There is no mention of definite price range for the new tablet but analysts are convinced that the Mini 2 will simply carry over the first Mini's starting price of $US 329.
