It also comes with multiple-input and multiple-output technology that offers up to 2x faster Wi-Fi with 802.11a/b/g/m Wi-Fi and LTE cellular models that are available with up to 10 hours of battery life.
Apple offers this 2nd-generation model with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of memory. It comes in two different color schemes including silver/white and space grey/black. This version is 43 percent thinner than the previous version. It's exactly 7.5mm thin. The 4th gen model was 9.4mm thick.
