It seems like every week there is one report after another contradicting the release date for Apple's iPad mini 2 with Retina display. This latest report comes from Digitimes and they are saying LG Display has made some progress with its production of iPad mini Retina panels and is expected to ship them later this year.

"The sources also added that LG is reportedly making new headway in producing Retina panel technology for use in the next-generation iPad mini, and expects to ship about 2-3 million units a month in preparation for Apple's expected October release date"
However, Digitimes reported earlier this week that an upgraded Mini would ship in late 2013, while the Retina iPad mini would not ship until 2014. Digitimes isn't the only site to report that an iPad mini refresh would come in the fourth quarter. NPD DisplaySearch analysts have also published similar reports suggesting two separate Mini refreshes, but has also flip-flopped over the devices release date.
