The aluminum cutout molds of the iPad mini 6 show a thinner chassis, larger display, and flat edges across all sides. While the display is getting bigger, it is all thanks to slimmer bezels on all sides. Take note that the iPad mini 6 will rock Touch ID in the Power button while Face ID is out of the question at this point after the release of the iPad Air 4.

The iPad mini 6 mold images were shared online by the website techordo in collaboration with a leaker named xleaks7. While the leaker's track record is not that impressive, it is still insightful to see how the molds share the rumored dimensions of the iPad mini 6. The design was shared months ago by Jon Prosser and it is now taking shape.

An interesting bit to note is that the volume buttons on the iPad have been relocated to the opposite side of the Power button. This is peculiar because the buttons have always been positioned on the right side of the iPad. However, since the final word rests with the company, we would just have to wait and watch how Apple positions the volume buttons on the iPad mini 6. You can check out more images here.
