1. As for weight, the iPad mini is Apple's lightest and smallest tablet, weighing in at 293 grams or 0.65 pounds. Cellular models are just a few grams heavier due to the extra hardware.

2. The volume buttons have been moved to the top of the device, which is a first for an iPad. The volume buttons are at the top to leave space for a magnetic connector at the side that's used to charge the second-generation Apple Pencil.

3. There are speakers at the top and bottom of the iPad mini that provide stereo sound when the iPad mini is used in landscape mode, along with a microphone at the top, and cellular models will have a nano-SIM tray on the side. At the back, there's a single-lens rear camera.
