I'm starting to think they have too many products. Should be 1 mini, 1 Air and 1 Pro. This is plain confusing. Similar issue with the MacBook lineup.
Also with OSes. tvOS, Mac OS, Watch OS, iOS.
Keep it simple Apple.

If the resolution & color gamut are fixed, great. I wonder if it also has 2GB of Ram? That would get me to look at it more seriously.

Okay I'm glad they haven't ditched the Mini but wow!!!! The Mini got one sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "IPad Mini 4 will be the current iPad Air 2 in 'Mini' form" -
That's it?! Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's something lackluster and .... Disappointing about it. Like reaching for an ice cold beverage and it's a little flat.

They should have...iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro.
And for Macbooks...MacBook (12"), MacBook Air (13"), and MacBook Pro (15")
And for phones...iPhone mini (4"), iPhone Air (4.7"), iPhone Pro (5.5")
Simple.

iPad mini 4, 16GB, Gold ordered! 4 - 6 dispatch with 16th - 18th delivery.
I ordered one too, 16GB Space Grey WiFi version. Same delivery date.
I understand that some people are disappointed or don't feel the need to upgrade since there are no big changes. But that doesn't make the iPad Mini 4 a bad product. It has improved and for people like me who don't have an iPad yet it is an exciting product. I think that the Mini 4 in comparison with the Mini 2 has enough improvements to justify the price gap.
- 30% faster CPU
- 60% faster graphics
- Thinner design
- More lightweight
- Laminated display
- Antireflective coating
- Touch-ID
- AC Wifi
So those improvements made it a no-brainer for me so I pulled the trigger and ordered one right away. :)
