Alleged iPad mini 4 case leak confirms lack of mute switch

The iPad mini 3 upgrade features, compared to its predecessor, were so miniscule, that Apple barely devoted a few minutes on its announcement last year. The folks from Cupertino left the iPad mini 3 largely unchanged from its already svelte predecessor in terms of design, but included a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which means you can now use it with Apple Pay - the company's budding mobile payment system. There's a new golden color option, and the 32 GB model has disappeared in favor of a 64 GB one, but that's about it - other than those it sports the dimensions and silicon of its predecessor.
