After a short period of downtime, the Apple Store is back with the gadget we were promised for November: the iPad mini with Retina display.
The pricing is no surprise, starting at $399 for 16GB of storage and Wi-Fi. You can beef it up to 32GB ($499), 64GB ($599) or 128GB ($699).
If you want the 3G variant, the 16GB model will set you back $529. The 32GB model costs $629, the 64GB model costs $729, and the top model, the 3G, 128GB variant, costs $829. The device is available in either white and space gray.

Delivery time for the 16GB and 32GB Wi-Fi models is one to three business days. For all other variants, the wait time is five to ten business days.
However, if you want to buy a Retina iPad Mini directly from an Apple retail store, you can't just walk into a store and buy one. Instead, you must go through the Personal Pickup process -- first order it at Apple's online store and then pick it up at a retail store of your choice.
With the addition of the 2048x1536 Retina screen, the new iPad mini is essentially a slimmed-down iPad Air -- more so than the previous generation. It comes with the same storage options, a 64-bit A7 processor and the M7 motion-tracking coprocessor.
