Before the official presentation of iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display, there were persistent rumors that Apple will add new a Touch ID fingerprint sensor to the new devices, just like the iPhone 5S. Unfortunately, the rumors were wrong. Apples released new devices with no fingerprint sensor.
However, no doubt, like the voice assistant, Siri, first appeared on the iPhone, and then migrated to the iPad, the Touch ID scanner will eventually appear on Apple tablets. Although, some users have already such a model. Today, an iPad photo with a fingerprint spotted in Asia. It is argued that the image shows a third generation iPad mini.
In the picture you can see the front part with a biometric sensor Touch ID. Impossible to establish the authenticity of the photos, but the scanner is generally have the same component as the one on the iPhone 5S - no square button icons, have a metal ring that is responsive to the touch of a finger. Judging by the color of ring, this iPad is a gold one.
