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.

I would love to ask you how it is getting worse and worse?
It is getting better and better if anything.
Becoming faster, better displays, and even thinner over the years.

farcry3321LavishFalsified 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

VPN Anyone else wondering if it has touch id?
Touch ID is such a big feature that if it were in the iPad, it would have been announced.

Cyimking 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.

They are one of the most valued companies, they have sold over 170 Million iPads. Restaurants, Airports, Consumers, Schools, IT departments, have all adopted them and continue to do so because they are reliable and they are a great product.
Zero ideas? I'd like you to go ahead and come up with something better, other companies all they offer is Spec Bumps and people are content, but if it's Apple they never innovate. Tablet is a basic concept there isn't much you can do with it.

Not to insult your intelligence but really? If iPhones were "bad" they wouldn't sell more every year. 9 Million iPhones right off the bat is pretty impressive. They may not always innovate or have the latest tech, but when they release stuff, it's done right.

iOS 7 wasn't change? slightly bigger screen wasn't change? 64-bit processor wasn't change? Touch ID wasn't change?. Most Androids are mainly spec bumps. Motorola ATRIX 4G had the fingerprint sensor back in 2011, but it wasn't near as good as the Touch ID system. Apple made it easy and a seamless process, Motorola had the damn sensor in the back of the ATRIX and honestly who even remembers or knows about that phone?
