iPad Mini Officially Announced

Tim Cook took to the stage at Apple's media event today and announced the new iPad.





The iPad will feature the A6X chip, which is said to double the performance of the previous A5X chip that was in the last iPad. It is noted to have 10 hours of battery life and will feature a 720p Facetime camera. It will support LTE and 3G data connections and has better wifi performance. It will also include a lightning port, and will come in both black and white.



The device will fit in your hand, and weighs only 0.68lb. It is only 7.2m thick and has a 7.9 inch screen with 1024px x 768px. All previous applications built for other iPad models will work perfectly on the iPad mini.

Preorders start on October 26th for wifi models, and 2nd November for cellular models.
