Apple's next-generation iPads will both feature a high-resolution Retina Display, says KGI Securites analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In an investors note detailed by MacRumors, Kuo projects that the iPad Mini 2 will come with the same Retina Display offered by its larger counterpart.

The upgrade will be beneficial not only to users but to developers who can then design the same high-resolution apps to fit both iPad models. The 9.7-inch iPad will lose some weight, get much slimmer, and take on the same thin bezels used on the Mini, according to Kuo.

Both tablets are slated to debut in the third quarter, Kuo added.
