Rumors of the iPad mini 2 began springing up in Dec. 2012, but no release date was mentioned at that time. The biggest factor in the rumors was that the diminutive tablet would be moving to a Retina display.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to this being an unannounced tablet, specs are subject to change numerous times up until the official announcement as more rumors appear.
