I wouldn't be surprised if only the cellular (5,4) version has the 2gb ram.
We know that the celluar version has 2gb ram, but what about the wifi only version?

They'll be identical, no way no how will they differ (other than cellular components and gps).

Who knows, maybe by 2030 there will be 4 GB of RAM and an email app that lets you attach documents intuitively. What will Apple think of next??? *he said sarcastically, still pissed that the Mini 3 was thrown out with the bath water*

I think Apple tried to keep Mini as 2nd tier tablet as they intended with the first Mini. Last year was the odd one so they are fixing their mistake this time.
I agree with your statement. However it's puzzling why Apple didn't bother to at least throw in an A8 processor.
And I agree with you. Though we understand that Apple wants to ax down Mini spec, adding only touch ID as improvement is just too mean for customer. To me, at least improve the camera or the display. Processor improvement may not be so noticeable for general public (macrumors forumers are not within the range of my 'general public')
I'm in the UK, and my order was delivered an hour or so ago - 2 Air 2s, 128Gb, Gold and Silver. As is known now, they are definitely 2Gb/3 core, and possibly one of the nicest pieces of technology I've ever held.
I'm not just here to gloat, I just hadn't seen anyone post in this thread who had one yet.

Great stuff. Mine was delivered a few hours ago. Still installing apps from my Air backup! I need to delete many of them...
It's a beautiful machine. But after I took the case off my Air for the first time in a year I realised that's a beautiful machine too!
Despite the pleasant greatness of 3-core A8X and 2GB RAM, The Verge's review of Air 2 leaves me with doubts again. With all these processing power of the hardware, the software does not really keep up. iOS seems to favor iPhone more. Although that's not a bad thing from Apple's perspective (iPhone is their flagship hardware and most profitable segment), it leaves iPad owner sore.
I've just tried out Inifinite Flight with all the settings maxed out. It runs visibly smooth as silk whereas you could notice the lower framerate on the first Air. There is still a skip to the scenery every second but I suspect that is due to the game not being optimised for the A8X & 2GB RAM.
I think the The Verge was saying this is really cool hardware now come on and do something cool with it. It's a valid thing to say but I'll willing to give it some time. I didn't keep the original Air because I felt like it was maxed out at the release. I was worried it would have a limited lifetime. The iPad Air 2 has power to spare and I think we'll see exciting things come to it in the upcoming years. It's kind of like buying a new game console on launch day.
