Apple finally anounced the ipad air and the new ipad mini. The iPad Air is much slimmer and lighter, but it doesn’t feel cheap. While the size differences aren’t immediately apparent, the lighter weight is noticeable and the A7 processor is a major improvement.
Along with the new A7 processor and a handful of under-the-hood improvements, this is just about the upgrade we expected, but more than ever the iPad Air feels like you’re just holding a big screen full of the internet. That’s probably a good thing.
Apple’s newest iPad mini is similar to the first iPad mini, though it is slightly thicker and heavier. Engadget didn’t notice any major changes to the feel, but did note that the processor seems faster than the original.
Although the Mini’s screen will be more crisp, the iPad Air has the advantage of being physically bigger. Well, that’s an advantage to some people. It’s easier to read text, and browsing the web is better on a larger screen. The redesigned Air isn’t even much heavier than the Mini — it weighs just 1 pound (469 grams) and the mini is 0.73 pounds (331 grams). They are also exactly the same thickness at 7.5mm. The 9.7-inch iPad Air isn’t as ungainly as its predecessor, but the Mini will still be a bit more manageable.
