Apple unveils new iPad Air and iPad mini

IF you're looking for a tablet, you may want to take a look at Apple's new iPad Air and iPad mini.

The Cupertino-based company has just introduced the all-new iPad Air in an ultra-thin 10.5-inch design, offering the latest innovations including Apple Pencil support and high-end performance at a breakthrough price.

With the A12 Bionic chip with Apple’s Neural Engine, the new iPad Air is said to deliver a 70 percent boost in performance and twice the graphics capability, while the advanced Retina display with True Tone technology is nearly 20 percent larger with over half a million more pixels.

Besides that, Apple also introduced a new 7.9-inch iPad mini, which is said to offer a major upgrade for iPad mini fans who love a compact, ultra-portable design packed with the latest technology.

With the A12 Bionic chip, the new iPad mini is a powerful multi-tasking machine, delivering three times the performance and nine times faster graphics.

The advanced Retina display with True Tone technology and wide colour support is 25 percent brighter and has the highest pixel density of any iPad, delivering an immersive visual experience in any setting. And with Apple Pencil support, the new iPad mini is the perfect take-anywhere notepad for sketching and jotting down thoughts on the go.

“The iPad continues to provide magical new experiences for a growing range of uses where it is the absolute best device, from playing games in augmented reality to note-taking and drawing with Apple Pencil, from streaming HD movies and editing 4K films to learning to develop apps with Swift Playgrounds,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.

“Today the iPad family takes two big leaps forward with an all-new 10.5-inch iPad Air that brings high-end size, features and performance at a breakthrough price, and a major upgrade to the 7.9-inch iPad mini, which also brings Apple Pencil, Retina display and the A12 Bionic chip to the many customers that love its compact size,” he said.

The new iPads are available for order starting today and in stores next week.
