Expected more improvements.Finally better naming convention. Better than "iPad Mini with Retina Display" aka iPad Mini 2.

Correct me if i'm wrong, seems like the only upgrade here compared to the ipad mini 2 is the 'Touch ID'.
That's a terrible upgrade for a new model!

A $100 more for touch ID only...lol

They were very low key on the Mini, almost as if they didn't want to mention it.

Wonder what they are hiding.

The lower price? They'd want people to rather get the Air 2.

Fortunately, for $100 less, you can still get the iPad mini 2.

Mini 3 as we know is just a Mini 2 with TouchID.

Personally if was my money I would scout for a mint Air 2
