[QUOTE="Scythe42, post: 938095, member: 95833"] The smaller connector reveals it that it is the latest "revision". Exactly as shown on the Apple site. Also Apple doesn't sell the old ones anymore. That always applies to Apple. Once a refresh in hardware took place, the old ones are not sold anymore (unless a new product name is used). [B]You will never get old "left over stock" revisions[/B]. These are used for repairs. Apple uses a fixed price (if not covered by warranty) on all repairs and give you a new one And as said don't go for the iPad2 either! It comes with the same 1024x768 resolution as the Mini. Forget it! [B]The recent iPad is just called "iPad with Retina Display".[/B] Retina Display is an absolute MUST! The 100 bucks difference in price is worth it for the display alone. Not talking about the newer A6 chip you get more or less for free (plus camera and stuff, I personally don't care for) Just check the specs on the Apple page.
