the touch ID is very nice, but without the new processor like the phone I don't see the point here. With Touch ID I can have a very long "secure" password while still having the ability between boots/configure options of not even looking at it to unlock it. That makes the touch id on the phone so useful and I looked forward to it on this mini. However the specs just seem odd. Is there a yield issue on the new processor or just too many phones going out the door?
