Because higher resolution screens are harder to make. How much harder cannot be quantified by either of us, particularly because we're talking about the future.
Simple question: Why WON'T capacity be drastically lower? Let's see how you can do. I'm guessing you'll continue to equivocate, while demanding proof of others.

That's ridiculous. If you think that when someone talks about a) the future and b) a secretive company like Apple as an outsider, they can be precise, you're dumber than I would have guessed.
Sorry, would you like me to say "maybe" every time I'm talking about what MIGHT happen in the future so you can figure it out? You aren't really that thick are you? You do understand that every one of us doesn't know exact (or even close) numbers about any of this stuff. Funny that it's the guy who thinks maybe Apple is making a bad decision that gets asked for hard numbers. Not the ones who believe, despite the debacle of the past year, that Apple can make anything it wants in any number it wants.
Wait? What? iPad apps are iPad apps, and we already have Retina iPads... with existing apps... that already use larger images and graphics. Thus a app for a "retina" iPad mini won't take up any more space that the same app downloaded to a non-retina mini.
You're not making any sense.

I will continue to equivocate? Let's see who is equivocating.
Exhibit #1: You made an assertion, and I asked you to explain. Instead of explaining yourself, you flip the question back to me. I am no expert but I am willing to bet that does not make me the equivacator here.
Exhibit #2: You are the one who wrote the their capacity will be halved, and now you say it cannot be quantified. Again, I am no expert. But this seems to corroborate exhibit #1.
The sound you hear is the shattering of what remains of your credibility. Don't blame it. You did yourself in.

My iPad 3 gets the same battery life as my iPad 2 did. And as far as being heavier, for me it's barely noticeable. With the mini Apple's biggest selling point was how thin and light it is. Sorry but I don't see them going retina until they can do it and keep the weight and thickness down.

I realized that later, but didn't edit/remove the post because of the irony. It was a rant about precision mathematics. Maybe the original PPI calculation was a typo, too.

I understand the next gen is ready to go today. It will be an implant so you get retina quality no matter have close you hold the iPhone. Only small issues still persist: Users of the implant find they cannot input "Google, Amazon, or Microsoft" no matter how hard they try. Also, every attempt to enter "Steve Ballmer" is auto-corrected to "Uncle Fester,"

Haha the link no longer works. Which is fine by me as I hate giving a trollish site like Business Insider the clicks.

Don't mean to be picky but, as I am sure you know, there are actually (at least?) two versions of iPad 2. So which one are you using for comparison? Which tests did you run to objectively compare the battery performance?
This is a bigger deal than most people (even here) give Apple credit for. Those who are dissing Apple for the lack of innovation are failing to see how Apple is (once again) dragging the industry forward. Other smartphone manufacturers have been forced to match the Retina Display. Websites are (gradually) upgrading to be compatible, not to mention apps, etc.

Yes, they deserve a lot of credit for it. It's funny how quickly things just become the norm and people forget that it was actually somebody's effort that made it happen. They even invested their own money in partner manufacturing capabilities to enable them to make the higher res screens, so they made it happen in a very real physical sense, not case in an intellectual/design sense.
I had the first iPad 2. And no I didn't run any tests to "objectively compare" performance. I'm using my iPad 3 the same way I used iPad 2 and the only difference I notice is it takes a bit longer to charge.

Done and done. Left the e-mail, though, so we have it for reference. You'll be back. You can't resist. They never can.
Don't worry; you won't get subscription e-mails or anything.

Yup. There is zero pressure on Apple to release a Retina iPad mini. Zero.
Having said that, I expect that Apple will release a Retina iPad mini sooner or later.
