In place of the 10.5" Pro's surround sound speakers, we find a large metal bracket and two posts built into the case.

These little metal mesas likely support the display and hold additional antennas in the LTE models.

While the Mini's front-facing camera got a significant upgrade, the Air's rear camera holds steady at 8 MP—meaning the Pro's 12 MP still reigns supreme in the 10.5" tablet photo arena.

We do away with a single screw and peel back a huge shield from the logic board, exposing that sweet silicon underneath.

The single screw here is a tenth of the fastening power we saw on the 10.5" Pro's logic board shield.
