Today, more than ever, Apple 's employees are engaged in a demanding task, as they are involved in the production of the new Retina display for the new iPad mini . We've been informed that it will have few differences compared to the current iPad mini on the market.

According to statements made by Vinita Jakhanwal (Director of Mobile and Emerging Displays at IHS iSuppli ), "Volumes would be similar to those of the iPad Mini , which we saw in the fourth quarter of last year," regarding the current production of the new devices.

The new iPad Mini is expected to have a 7,9-inch screen with a resolution similar to the current iPad 4 , which has a 9,7-inch screen. The only difference is that this screen is smaller, and the big expectation is that the pixel density will increase in the next generation of the iPad Mini, which is rumored to have a Retina display with 324 pixels per inch and a resolution of 2048 x 1536. Generally, the higher the pixel density , the sharper the image.

That would be roughly the same or higher pixel density as the Nexus 7 , which has 323 pixels per inch. If all the rumors about Apple 's new devices hold true , this would surpass one of the most talked-about tablets to date.

In any case, we'll be waiting for more reports, since we still don't know what Apple is cooking up in its production facilities. But what we are sure of is that Apple expects to surprise its consumers even more.
