TORONTO – Both the iPad and the iPad Mini are getting an image overhaul just in time for the holidays.
Apple unveiled the latest generation of its iPad tablet lineup Tuesday during a special event in San Francisco.
The full-sized iPad is being rebranded as the iPad Air, featuring a thinner design and weighing in at only one pound – making it the lightest tablet on the market.
The iPad Air will run Apple’s new A7 chip – first introduced with the new iPhone 5S in September – and will come in two colour schemes, silver and white, as well as black and space grey.
Apple also announced that they will continue selling the iPad 2 at a reduced price for users.
The iPad Air will go on sale November 1 starting at $499 for Canadian consumers; the iPad 2 will drop to $399.
The iPad Mini is getting an upgrade to include a Retina display, as well as the new A7 chip. The updated iPad Mini will also come in silver and white, as well as black and space grey.
Neither the iPad Mini, nor the iPad Air will be available in gold despite the iPhone 5S gold colour being in high demand.
The iPad Mini with Retina Display will start at CAD$399. Apple has not yet announced a set date for the release of the iPad Mini with Retina; the website currently reads “coming in late November.”
Apple will also still be offering the iPad Mini without Retina display at the reduced price of $299(CAD).
