Apple has unveiled their newest iPad Mini, a second generation device now known as the iPad Mini with Retina Display.

The device, which is the same size as last year's at 7.9", will feature a 2048 x 1536 pixel display, and will run an A7 chip.

Like the newly unveiled iPad Air, it will be 8 times faster at graphics tasks, while general speed will be 4x faster than last year's model.

The device will still have a 10 hour battery life, expanded LTE support, MIMO Wi-Fi Support, and expanded LTE bands.

Rumors stating that the new device woulod be available in gold were proven false, as the new device is only available in black and white. However new covers for both the Mini, the Air, and older generation iPad will be available, ranging in prices from $39-$79 depending on the device model the customer has.

The iPad mini with retina display will start at $399 for the 16GB, and like the Air, arrives in November, however it will be available later in the month than the larger model. Last year's model will now be offered for $299.

Neither the mini nor the air will feature the new fingerprint sensor.
