Apple reveals iPad Air, thinner and faster
The device includes an A7 processor which will power the same retina display that has been present since 'the new iPad', released early last year. It has double the graphics performance - 72x faster than the original iPad, and 8x faster a CPU than the first.
Other improvements include dual microphones and two antennas for twice the data transfer rates.
The iPad will continue to complete with Microsoft's Surface 2, which was put on sale today. The invite for this event stated that "We still have a lot to cover," suggesting a new case or keyboard cover for the iPad, but for now we await such an announcement.
On sale starting at $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model, and will ship November 1st.

FalsifiedI agree but IOS is just the way to go for me...VEVO Likely going to get a 4G version when it comes out. I've been aching for a new tablet and it's right on time for Battlefield so I can use that Commander. : >
I have a Samsung Galaxy and just a normal iPad. Let me let you into a secret... Believe this or not; the Samsung Galaxy is better than the iPad.

-Vintage I love how everyone hates on apple. Apple doesn't aim their ads to teens or younger kids. They are selling to business people who would buy the iPad or iPhone for company use. In which they are succeeding. Think about it the model airplane in the video and then the finger scanner on the iPhone 5s. Apple knew that everyone is full of themselves and think that there info on there phone is worth a arm or leg. Apple is playing you all and you keep falling for it. But tbh apple makes good phones they don't like to put out advanced tech on phones without testing it a LOT. And if you're one of those little kids that say galaxy s4 is better just stop kid I don't care for the big screen if I wanted a big screen is buy the iPad or iPad mini.
Apple USED to be a very good company (Phone / Tablet wise). However, they went downhill. They have zero ideas for new feature. Honestly, they just make it look nice. It's like shoes that looks good but hurts your feet.
With that said, business men are going to purchase the iphone because that's the style. It's not because it's a good phone, it's not because of the app store. It's because business men looks more "professional" with iPhones. Android phones looks like a teenager's phone.
At the end of the day, nothing changes with the iPhone / Ipad besides the look and some feature that was already out. (For those who doesn't know, finger print was on HP laptops years ago.)
I'm not hating. I got the iPhone 5s due to the looks but i just went back to my Galaxy.

LavishFalsified I'm not attempting to be a smart ass or anything but, what is the absolute point in buying this? They all have the same applications and everything. I couldn't care less if it was faster. I think iPad is starting to rip off their customers.
One if faster than the other and one is more portable than the other.
one thing im getting tired of people saying"oh this person said this" guys seriously stop being such a ****. the iPad's always different It doesnt haft to be a different shape

I actually think it looks so nice and I wouldn't mind one but I have always been asked if I want an ipad but it has never really been a big thing to me.
