  • All right kids, it time to play Spot the Differences! The now-discontinued iPad Mini 3 on the left faces off against the contender, the new Mini 4 (right).

  • Not only is the battery thinner and of lesser capacity, it's now a single cell, instead of two.

  • The lower right antenna now lives in the upper right. We'll have to tear into an LTE version to see what that means for that.

  • The FaceTime camera assembly is seriously slimmed down.

  • Plastic spacers fill in the gaps in the Wi-Fi logic board on the Mini 4 (perhaps to provide some more support for the display).
