iPad Air has the same 64-bit A7 chip and the M7 motion co-processor that was introduced with the iPhone 5S. It has the same 9.7-inch Retina screen and can open files twice as fast as the iPad 4.

The Retina iPad mini has twice the screen resolution than the first model at 2048x1536p in the same 7.9-inch display. It also runs on the 64-bit A7 chipset, a huge upgrade over the A5 chip used in the previous version. It will launch in November and come in Silver and Space Grey colours.
The Retina iPad mini wi ll cost $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model and $529 for 16GB Wi-Fi and 4G variant. The company will also retain the iPad mini that was launched last year, reducing its starting price from $329 to $299. Apple also showcased two covers for the iPad Air and Retina iPad mini at $69 and $79, respectively.
