It also has dual cameras (12 megapixel rear, 7 megapixel front) and a USB-C port. This is the first series of iPad models to provide USB-C and it supports charging and connectivity to cameras and some other peripherals as well as external displays up to 4K in dual display mode.

In addition to USB-C and the aforementioned cellular capability, other connectivity includes A-GPS, dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with HT80 with MIMO capability, and Bluetooth 5.0. It has four microphones and a four speaker system, too.
