There are four buttons and one switch on the iPad Mini, including a "home" button near the display that returns the user to the home screen, and three aluminum buttons on the right side and top: wake/sleep and volume up and volume down, plus a software-controlled switch whose function varies with software updates.[5] The tablet is manufactured either with or without the capability to communicate over a cellular network. All models can connect to a wireless LAN via Wi-Fi. The iPad Mini is available with 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB of internal flash memory, with no expansion option. Apple sells a "camera connection kit" with an SD card reader, but it can only be used to transfer photos and videos.

The first generation iPad Mini features partially the same hardware as the

SGX543MP2).[23]

iPads with a data connection can download data through cellphone networks, but can not make voice calls. They can act as a

hotspot, sharing the Internet connection over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB.[14]
