Images of a Touch ID-equipped iPad Mini have allegedly been leaked

According to the rumors, Apple is expected to introduce Touch IDs to its iPad lineup this year. This isn’t that much of a stretch given the possibilities that Touch ID can unlock, that and the fact that it makes iOS devices that much safer from potential thieves or those who want to peek at the contents of our tablets. Now the other day we caught a look at iPad Air 2 dummy units that supposedly shows off Touch ID and now thanks to a photo uploaded by the folks at Apple.club.tw, the image apparently depicts the third-gen iPad mini with what appears to be a Touch ID sensor placed at the home button.

Apple.club.tw shares an image of what appears to be models of the next generation iPhone, iPad Mini, and iPad Air. The iPhone 6 models have already been covered extensively, while we got the first glimpse of the purported iPad Air 2 just last week. The iPad Air 2 model was shown to depict Touch ID, changed speaker grille, and recessed volume buttons. The new image doesn’t reveal any more details except the depiction of Touch ID on the new iPad mini. This year’s iPads have been widely expected to gain Touch ID capabilities. Apple first introduced the Touch ID fingerprint scanning system with the iPhone 5S, and will be extending it to allow Apps to begin using it with iOS 8.
