| - | [* black] Looks a lot like a mini (new) iPad Air! Stay tuned for our teardown of that guy too |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Loss of regulatory markings from iPad mini 4 |
| - | [* black] Model ***A2133*** |
| - | [* black] Long live the headphone jack! |
| + | [* icon_note] From the outside, this new Mini looks ''exactly'' like a downsized version of the equally new iPad Air. |
| + | [* black] ''Spoiler alert:'' judging by the X-rays, it's ''not'' a downsized new iPad Air. It looks exactly like an upgraded iPad Mini 4. |
| + | [* black] The new Air, meanwhile, is based on the last-generation [guide|92534|iPad Pro 10.5".] (Stay tuned for our Air teardown, coming in about a day.) |
| + | [* black] Meanwhile, Apple also sells the [guide|105416|iPad 6|new_window=true] (or just "iPad"), which itself is a reworked version of the [guide|18907|original iPad Air|new_window=true]. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] Did you get all that? Because we haven't even mentioned the latest iPad Pros yet. In fact, let's go ahead and not mention those. |
| + | [* black] We pull a cellular-capable iPad Mini 4 from the lab to confirm our suspicions. Headphone jack: check. Big bezels: check. Home button: check. |
| + | [* black] About the only exterior clue that gives away the new model is its model number, ***A2133***—oh, and the loss of those regulatory markings on the back, which all live in software now. |
