Apple may have shaved a few millimeters off the iPad Air 2, but it didn’t diminish the Mini 3’s dimensions at all. The 7-inch iPad still measures 200 × 134.7 × 7.5 millimeters and weighs 331 grams – just like last year’s model. The volume buttons and rotation lock are positioned on the right-hand side and the two rows of speakers remain at the bottom of the iPad Mini 3.

We picked up a gold review unit to see how the new color option looks on an iPad and we really liked the way it shines. The gold accent encircling the Touch ID fingerprint sensor looks truly beautiful. However, if gold bling’s not your thing, the silver and space-gray color options are still available.
