The third generation Apple iPad mini is official. It's called just "iPad mini 3," the Retina display is a given. However, it didn't get nearly as much attention as the iPad Air or nearly as many changes. It does get the Touch ID fingerprint reader though, which will work with Apple Pay. The screen keeps the size and resolution - 7.9" and 1,536 x 2,048 pixels - but the hardware itself has changed. The glass is now optically laminated, which makes it thinner and cuts down reflections too (as it eliminates the air gap between the screen and glass). The anti-glare coating further reduces reflections. The camera department is identical - a 5MP iSight camera and an HD FaceTime camera. Same goes for connectivity, no Cat. 4 LTE or Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Pre-orders start today and the Apple iPad mini 3 will ship next week. It comes in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options for $400, $500 and $600 respectively. Add $130 if you want LTE.
