According to Apple it is 20% thinner than the previous version. Measuring 24.6cm (9.7 inches) 7.5mm (0.3 inches) thick or I should say thin, and weighs one pound. Apple says it is the lightest full-sized tablet in the market. The baby is powered by the same A7 chip that powers the iPhone 5, which was released in September.
Among the specs you can find a 5-megapixel iSight camera that sports 1080p video capture, Facetime HD front-facing camera and dual microphones. Going on sale on Nov. 1, the pricing is similar to the previous full-sized devices. 16 GB with Wi-Fi will cost about $499 and $629 with 4G LTE and as always the 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB will be available in $100 increments.
Apple also announced a new iPad Mini with Retina display. It included the same 2048-by-1536 display resolution but compacted into a 7.9-inch screen.
The processor is upgraded to Apple’s A7 chip compared to the A5 inside the current model. However, with the new Retina Display feature the new Mini is 0/05 pounds heavier that the non-Retina version.
According to Apple all other tech specs are like the previously model. The expected price will sell at $399 for the 16GB and $529 for the one with 4G LTE. Sales will start November but Apple did not give a specific release date.
