  • Notice the clean lines and muted colors in Apple's foray into abstract art. The second image is extra abstract thanks to X-rays.

  • Let's channel our inner art critic and try to spot some differences between the newest Mini and its predecessor:

  • Different battery model, with updated (i.e. incompatible) connectors

  • Rated for 19.32 Wh, it matches the last Mini's, has less than the standard iPad's 32.9 Wh, and comes in a little over the Galaxy Note9's 15.4 Wh.

  • Upgraded front-facing camera module

  • Updated ambient light (True Tone) sensors

  • A migrated set of microphones

  • Here's a clean view with no markings, in case you want to spot the differences yourself.
