Factors that affect the weight of an iPad
Several factors determine the weight of an iPad. Some of these factors are as follows:
Size of the device
Size is a major factor in determining how much your iPad will weigh. Usually, the equation is simple: the bigger the size, the heavier the iPad.
Large-size iPads require large batteries as these iPads are also among the most powerful.
Materials used for manufacturing
The composition of the iPad significantly influences its weight. These materials are inherently lightweight and constructed from aluminium, glass, and plastic. However, variations in quality and thickness exist, contingent on the specific model and generation of the iPad.
The thickness of the iPad will affect the weight significantly. The Pro models are thinner when compared to other iPads, but they have a larger screen and battery.
Components
The internal components of the iPad also play a pivotal role in determining its weight. The iPad includes a processor, graphics card, memory, storage, cameras, speakers, microphones, sensors, connectors, and antennas.
Each component carries its weight and, therefore, contributes to the device’s overall weight.
