Apple Unveils New iPads
iPad Air Apple
Today in Cupertino,
Calif., Apple CEO Tim Cook and a few other bigwigs took the stage to
announce some new stuff. What kind of stuff? New, slightly better iPads;
a new, slightly better operating system; and a grab bag of other
bite-size announcements. Here's what you missed.
NEW IPADS
Yes, this is what we came for. Apple announced two new iPads today: the iPad Air and a new iPad Mini.
First,
the Air. It's a 7.5mm-thick tablet that weighs 1 pound (compared to the
iPad's 1.44 pounds) and, natch, has a faster CPU. It's a very
nice-looking little gadget, and comes with Retina display, the lovely,
no-pixels-visible screen on the current generation of regular ol'
not-mini iPads. It'll run from $500 to $930, depending on what storage
you get and whether you want LTE for connecting to the web on the go.
Which
brings us to the new iPad Mini, which is also stocked with Retina
display. Except this one comes in a bite-size packaging: it has a
7.9-inch screen, compared to the 10-ish standard iPad size. And this
version will come with a series of colorful cases, if you're into that sort of thing.
