I'll probably get the ipad mini 2 instead of the ipad mini 3. As of now, I have the first generation ipad mini. In my case, updating to the ipad mini 2 will be an upgrade of hardware.

Somebody else just posted stating that the processor in the mini has not been updated. If that is true, my original statement stands. Why the hell by the new one? Take advantage of the price drop and get the old one.

Not in the Mini, it is still the a7 chip.

Hello,
Yes. It’s the A8X chip.

Did I miss something? Didn't they put in the new chip that is in the iPhone 6? They have also dropped the price points so for $499 you can get the 16 GB WiFi, $599 you can get the 64 GB 'wiFi model and for $699, the 128 GB.

The new Mini will be available in gold and have the touch ID sensor. Other then that, it's the same device. You're better off grabbing last year's model if those two features aren't important to you. I guess the other thing that is a plus is that pricing seems to be headed down. With the lack of a 32GB model, the 64 and 128 GB devices are $100.00 cheaper pushing the older versions down too. By offering the 16 GB iPads at the same introductory price, it's like Apple wants you to just buy the larger storage options instead. I guess if you're into the enhanced photo and video aspects with the new Air 2, the new versions may be interesting, but all in all, underwhelming.

Subject: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?

Hi all,

I just ran over to the Apple store website to compare the Mini 2 & 3. If I am reading things correctly, the only change is the addition of fingerprint security?

For a minut, I thought the Mini 3 had upgraded wi-fi signals, but I’m not sure. They both say Wi‑Fi (802.11a/​b/​g/​n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO. iPad2 says, Wi‑Fi (802.11a/​b/​g/​n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO.

Lol, that’s the same, correct? The iPad3 spacificly mentions 2 wi-fi antennas, where I cannot find those words for the 2nd Gen retina model.

Anyway, what do you guys know about the differences in the 2 models?

Thanks,
Traci
