The iPad Mini, which was the best-selling iPad of the previous quarter due to the attractivefeatures, is rumoured to be in the process of launching an iPad mini with Retina Display. The next gen iPad mini would feature an even better display resolution. While this was highly speculated for quite some time, images of what seem to be the rear shell casing on the next-gen iPad mini have been found.
