The Apple iPad mini might just have landed in stores, but Apple's manufacturers are already gearing up for a Retina-display second generation of the iPad mini 2, according to sources from China.

AU Optronics in particular is said to expect to kick off mass production of 2048 x 1536 resolution 7.9-inch screens by the 2nd half of 2013. While on the 9.7-inch iPad that meant a high pixel density of 264 ppi, on the iPad mini, this would work out to be a mind-blowing display, a candy for your eyes with a pixel density of 324 ppi.
