Oddly enough, the NYT had something to say about that, today, in their report on Nook:

Which is why they play by a different set of rules when it comes to pricing. It's a whole different language.. You need to be fluent in both value-shopping and Apple-shopping to play the faux-analyst game these days. |

"Cool" matters.
Simplicity. The turtlenecks help, too. |

Yep and Apple is already probably working on Mini 3. :-)

2048x1536 is the only resolution that makes sense, given how Apple doesn't do scaling on their OS. That's the same resolution as the iPad 3/4.
That's also why the iPad 3/4 have exactly twice the resolution as the 1, 2, and Mini. And why the iPhone 5 didn't increase the width. Going to a new resolution not based on that would cause issues for existing apps. I highly doubt we will see the iPad Mini 3 with 400+ PPI, unless they shrink the physical size down. |

Or if Apple (finally) gets around to improving the graphics subsystems in iOS to support arbitrary screen metrics. Not something we're likely to see in the Mini2 if it launches by summer but might see next year.

Even if they did, I suspect it would cause quite a havoc with developers. With known and fixed screen dimensions, I would expect quite a few people to have hardcoded values and static images to account only for the small subset of sizes available on ios. Things broke with the iphone5, and they'd probably break again on a new resolution.
