There is also a much thinner design, with the device mirroring the depth of the iPad Air 2. This device is also lighter than the previous generation by 33.2 grams.
- Due to the redesign, the iPad mini 4 is incompatible with cases that would otherwise work with the iPad Mini 2 or iPad Mini 3. To make up for this, Apple released a Smart Cover and Silicone Case for the Mini 4, which can be used separately or in conjunction to make a full protective case. Unlike the iPad Air 2, there is no leather Smart Case for the iPad mini 4.
- Reviews on the iPad mini 4 have generally been positive, with The Verge giving the iPad Mini 4 a 9/10, praising the display, fast performance, great camera, and multitasking but not liking the speaker or the chamfered edges.
