The illumination of the screen is in fact not completely uniform, which I take but in normal operation not true. You can see it only when the screen is completely empty. In scientific articles has been reported that the Mini 2, the color spectrum can not completely depict how the larger models. I have an iPad Air for comparison beside held: Slight advantages for the larger device! So if you want have it even more perfect, then just have to pick up the Air. I can in any case with the in my opinion very good reproduction qualities of the iPad Mini 2 live well.
The stronger processor is also a step forward: The Mini responds much faster and more accurately. Nothing jerky. The unit came with IOS 7.02. With this operating system put the Safari browser back every now and then crashes, now I've upgraded to 7:03. The disturbances seem to have disappeared. The battery lasts a long time wonderful, drawbacks compared with the first model - ie shorter maturities - do I still not known. Somewhat surprised I was about the thick, somewhat outdated charger model that is the iPad Mini Retina settled. Because there's now smaller and thinner designs. That the iPad mini 2 (! Whopping) is 0.3 mm thicker than its predecessor, falls - with the naked eye judged - not on. Even the leather case of the Mini 1 matched immediately and without difficulty.
Some feel that the iPad Mini 2 is overpriced. Can we see, of course. My experience: Who buys cheap, often buys twice. What convinced me the iPad mini 2: I have the currently strongest processor that is installed in the air, and I have a much better display. What's hot.
Conclusion: worth the upgrade. The Retina display makes a top figure and provides a significant added value in the new model. The iPad Mini has a nearly 8-inch Touch Screen. The image is lush and full and appears larger than the image of several 7-inch tablets. Exactly what I like about this little Ipad. More in it. And more to see.
