iPad Air REVIEW: Price, Specs, and Features of New Apple iPad / What are Critics Saying About the New iPad Air? [VIDEO]

Apple announced a brand new iPad to its lineup of the tablet devices yesterday at its October Keynote Event in California. The iPad Air will be joining the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 in stores for the holiday season. Let's take a look at the device's specs, price points, features and other news from the live Apple event yesterday.

TheVerge.com wrote and article about the specs, price, and features of the new iPad Air. They wrote, "The 9.7-inch iPad is still around, but it's seen its first major redesign since the iPad 2. Now called the iPad Air, it's a couple millimeters thinner, almost half a pound lighter, and looks like an outsized iPad mini, with a smaller bezel and squared-off edges. Like the iPhone, the iPad Air is running a 64-bit architecture on an A7 chip, and the Retina screen isn't going anywhere. Neither is the venerable iPad 2, which has no outlasted two generations of iPad and will remain on sale at $399. The iPad Air, shipping November 1st, starts at $100 above that, with a 16GB Wi-Fi version priced at $499 and a cellular one at $629. If you though the "Air" moniker suggested that an "iPad Pro" was also in the works, you weren't the only one - but despite rumors of a giant 12.9-inch iPad, the Air remains the largest tablet in Apple's lineup."
