I just want one thing: an iPod Touch 6th generation. Just strip the phone functionality out of the iPhone 5c and call it a day.

But I am a fool to dream.
Yeah, I really want that, too, iPod Touch buddy. 2 years with no update is feeling rough.
I'd hope for at least 5s-level parity, though, not just 5.

Sometimes I think they obsess a little too much on thinness. Then again I don't pick up my 4th gen iPad and think it's now some bloated monstrosity so what do I know.
Not for nothing, but going from the iPad 2-4 heft/thickness to the first Air is like night and day. Being able to hold it in one hand without getting tired is a big plus.

My brain will melt the first time I see someone use Apple Pay on their iPad to pay for a Snickers at 7-11.
You mean try, right? It doesn't have NFC.

 It's definitely annoying not knowing if it's 2GB of RAM or not.
I know they never mention RAM at all, but it kinda factors into whether I want to upgrade or not.

 I missed it, are all the features put into the iPad Air 2 aside from the screen size included in the iPad Air mini 3?

I think they kinda skipped over what the mini 3 gets.

So does the new Mini get the A8X?
Apparently just the A8 like the iPhone 6.

So the ONLY difference in the new mini vs mini 2 is touchID. That's seriously it? So I can pay $400 for touch id and 16gb, or $349 for no touch id and 32gb? Haha that's stupid as gently caress.
Hmm... if anything, that makes the $349 iPad mini 2 a pretty good deal now. You'd probably have a good chance of getting a refurbished one for even cheaper, too.

EDIT: Yup, $299:
