It would only reign for me if they’ve made this an iPhone 6. All the bells and whistles of the iPhone in a 7 inch screen.
Nobody has made an iPhone or a cell phone in a 7 inch screen before and Apple would be cool if they made it like that.
So how exactly does the iPad mini reign supreme over the Android products when it has specs that are two years old compared to the current iPad? It costs more, and the screen is lower in resolution.
But we all know Apple fans will buy it regardless, and the iPad mini 2 will be out in the spring with better specs. I will just use my iPad 3 that is 3 months old.
Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which users express empathy and have almost fanatical ( eg APPLE ) positive feelings towards their products, always to the point of defending them ad nauseam.
I have no doubt that Apple will sell millions of them.
