Putting rest to rumours, Apple has finally revealed a new smaller iPad mini with a 7.9inch screen. It is the thinnest and lightest iPad yet.
Apple boss Tim Cook took the stage at San Jose's California theatre to introduce the new tablet which he said could be held in one hand. He said this is entirely new design and not the scaled down version of the existing iPad.
The new tablet is 7.2mm thick (as thin as a pencil), weighs .68 pounds (as light as a pad of paper) and has been manufactured with a new process with the same anodized edges as the iPhone 5.
Its display is 35 per cent more than the competing Android 7-inch tablets, with a better use of display space.
The iPad Mini is powered by Apple's A5 CPU, will run on LTE and has a 5-megapixel camera.
The device will give 10-hours of battery life, despite its small size. The base 16GB, WiFi only model, will cost you $329, while the 16GB, while the LTE version will cost you around $130 more per model.
