The iPad Mini 2 (stylized and currently marketed as the iPad mini 2, previously marketed as the iPad mini with Retina display) is the second generation iPad Mini tablet computer produced and marketed by Apple Inc. It has a design almost identical to that of the first generation iPad Mini but features internal revisions such as the addition of the A7 system-on-a-chip and 2,048 x 1,536 resolution Retina Display. The iPad Mini 2 has nearly the same hardware as its larger sibling, the iPad Air. Apple quietly released the iPad Mini 2 in Space Gray and Silver colors on November 12, 2013.

Its successor, the iPad Mini 3, was unveiled on October 16, 2014, featuring the same internals but adding Touch ID, differing storage sizes, and an additional gold color.

The iPad Mini 2 was announced during a keynote at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on October 22, 2013. The theme of the keynote was named 'We still have a lot to cover.' Originally, at the time of its release, the iPad Mini 2 was officially marketed as the "iPad Mini with Retina Display". However, when the iPad Mini 3 was announced on October 16, 2014, Apple started marketing the second generation iPad Mini as iPad Mini 2.

The iPad Mini 2 comes with the iOS 7 operating system, released on September 18, 2013.Jonathan Ive, the designer of iOS 7's new elements, described the update as "bringing order to complexity", highlighting features such as refined typography, new icons, translucency, layering, physics, and gyroscope-driven parallaxing as some of the major changes to the design. The design of both iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks (version 10.9) noticeably depart from skeuomorphic elements such as green felt in Game Center, wood in Newsstand, and leather in Calendar, in favor of a flat, colourful design.
