You misread my post or did not understand what I said, or both.
I said, I see the differences and I acknowledge the "gamut thing", but the true of the matter is that in general terms, the screen resolution and the overall quality of the tablet is not poor, like the previous user said.
You can show me 1k reports of gamut comparison and they will all say the same. But how many end users actually care about it? Not many. Most people, except a few, really care about such differences in color when they are browsing a webpage or reading a Kindle book, which by the way, most of the time is just black and white, i.e. novels.
The Retina Mini is expensive, yes. The Retina Mini does not provide the same gamut range that the iPad air provides, probably, based on those reports. But most end users are no complaining. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to find one. My wife visited few stores and the answer was, they are sold out or reserved for people who already pre-ordered online.
Agree, it is disappointing, but you need to see it in an more holistic way, like how users are receiving the product in terms of usability, apps, weight distribution, etc.
If I was going to use the Mini for photography related activities, I probably would not buy it. But if I want it for light reading, browsing internet and magazines, I will pick it for sure (I did) because iOs tablet optimized apps are more in the iOs ecosystem, plus I get more screen area and support from Apple; I can walk into an Apple store and make an appointment if the hardware dies. You can't say the same for many of the Android tablets out there. You will have to send it back via mail or make use of the 30 days warranty support if you bought it from a brick and mortar store.
