Apple's latest iPad mini with Retina display is now available in Singapore. It can be ordered via the tech giant's online store from Nov 12 afternoon onwards.

The 7.9-inch tablet costs $548 for its 16GB Wi-Fi model - $140 cheaper than the larger iPad Air. The 16GB Wi-Fi and cellular version of the mini will go for $728.

The 128GB Wi-Fi model, which has the largest storage capacity of its range, goes for $1,108, while the Wi-Fi and cellular model will cost $1,128. The other storage options are 32GB and 64GB. The slate is available in white and space grey.

With the addition of the high-definition Retina screen, the iPad mini resembles a slimmed-down version of the iPad Air.

Like the iPad Air, the new mini also comes with Apple's latest A7 processor.
