Apple entered the sub-10" tablet universe with relative success, selling plenty of mini iPads from the first and second generation, which is not surprising, given that these are actually the cheapest devices in its mobile stable. Apple just unveiled the third generation of the line, titling it iPad mini 3.

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. Other than that it sports the dimensions and silicon of its predecessor, so there's not much change to go around this time. Let's list the few new features of the mini 3 that the Apple just announced.
