In addition to a fingerprint sensor in the power button, there is also a USB-C port that transfers data at up to ten gigabits per second. Depending on the model purchased, users can connect to the Internet via WLAN 6 or 5G.

The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels. Both the front and main cameras consist of 12 MP sensors.
