Apple announced a new version of the iPad, calling it the iPad Air,
on Wednesday (Oct 23). The tablet with a 10-inch display screen
will now weigh one pound.
The previous version weighed 1.4 pounds.
According to a report in The Straits Times, Apple also shaved off
almost 2mm off the iPad, making it 20 per cent thinner at
7.5mm thick while the bezel is 43 per cent smaller.
The iPad Air will also run on the latest A7 chip.
The tablet will be available in Singapore from November 1. The iPad
Air, WiFi only version will start from S$688, while the cellular
version starts from S$870.
Apple also added its high-definition "Retina Display" to the iPad
Mini to stay competitive with recent upgrades to the smaller
tablets sold by Google and Amazon.
It will also be available in November and will go for $548
onwards.
