iPad Mini Retina 3 did not get a camera or processor upgrade. It appears to be exactly the same except that the new iPad Mini has touch Id. I could be wrong, but I believe there used to be a 32 Gig version of the iPads before just as with the iPhone and that now Apple has dropped the 32 Gig size and you can only get a 16, 64 and 128 Gb iPad. The good thing is that now a 64 Gb costs as much as a 32 Gb last year and in the case of the iPad 2 (the one from last year) it's actually $100 cheaper. Even the new iPad Air pricing has come down by $100 so a 64 Gb iPad Air 2 now with A8X chip, 8 MP camera and Touch Id is $600. Not bad and I bet there will be retailers where you might even get a slightly better deal or other incentive if you buy one and there is probably an even better chance to get a deal on one of last year's iPad Minis if retailers want to reduce stock..

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?
