The fingerprint scanner is also integrated with the power button at the top. Prosser claims that the Apple iPad Mini will continue to lack Face ID. At the bottom, we can notice two speaker grilles and a USB Type-C port for charging. On the right, Apple has added the magnetic port for charging the Apple Pencil. (Image: YouTube / Front Page Tech)
