Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) made several major announcements at its latest iPad event on Tuesday, including the introduction of the fifth-generation iPad, the iPad Air.
The iPad Air is thinner, lighter, and faster than its predecessor, weighing in at just 1 pound. The new iPad is 20% thinner and 20% lighter than the current fourth-generation iPad, making it the lightest tablet on the market.
The iPad Air, which is set to be released on Friday, Nov. 1, has a 9.7 inch screen, new form factor, and will cost $499 to $929.
Apple was proud to introduce the iPad Air but they also discussed the newly revamped iPad Mini. The iPad Mini is a little faster, due to its new A7 processor, and its a little heavier thanks to its beautiful Retina display.
But, it wasn't all about the iPad on Tuesday. Apple reintroduced its 2013 Mac Pro, which is the company's fastest and most expandable desktop computer. The new Mac Pro will be available in December and its price will start at $2,999.
Apple announced the newest version of its Mac operating system, OS X Mavericks, and the good news is that it's free and ready for download.
New MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops were also introduced and they go on sale immediately, featuring better graphics, longer battery life, faster flash storage, and next-generation Wi-Fi.
