Apple had achieved a great milestone with the release of the iPad Air with the thinness and the lightness of the product.The Apple iPad Air 2 has the same height and width but the Air 2 is much more slimmer basically 18% thinner than the iPad Air , drastically from 7.5 mm to 6.1 mm thin.The iPad Air 2 is not just thin but a lot lighter , it weighs around 437 grams from the original 469 grams. iPad Air 2 is also the worlds thinnest tablet.

The display of the iPad Air 2 is same as the iPad Air, a 9.7 inch screen but comes with a reflective coating which improves the user experience of the screen.The iPad Air 2 comes with the most anticipated Touch ID , which gives the Apple Pay to iPad as well.

The battery life of the iPad Air 2 is also the same , but the Wi-Fi is now twice as faster . It gives a faster streaming capabilities as well as download speeds.
In all the iPad Air 2 is a great upgrade in the line of the iPad's and also provides a greater benchmark for other competitors.iPad Air 2 gives a refreshing edge to the iPad line . We hope it does not perform the same"Bend Gate exclusive feature."
iMac with 5K Retina Display
The main attraction is the 5K Retina Display.The iMac with 5K Retina Display as the name suggest has a got an amazing 5K display.The display is an amazing 27 inch (diagonal) of an resolution of 5120 by 2880 .The display has an astounding 14.7 million pixels to create this display. The display is sharper and more natural than ever , this creates an amazing display and a more clearer picture for the user.The display is just 5 mm thin and has an timing device to lighten up the pixels at the right time.The timing device is innovated by apple to support such high resolution display.

It has a fusion hard drive for all the storage.For all the I/O transmission , Apple has announced the Tunderbolt 2 which gives up to a 20 Gbps bandwith. iMac with 5K Retina Display ,all versions come with a AMD graphic cards.
iPad Mini 3
Apple really disappointed us with the iPad Mini 3 , really not changing anything.We thought that Apple would come up with a major upgrade to the iPad Mini . The iPad Mini 3 is nothing different from the previous iPad Mini but just the touch ID sensor . We expected an A8 chip but again disappointing came with an older A7 chip.
Mac Mini
Mac Mini was not updated for quite some time, but Apple finally updated the Mac Mini also. Mac Mini now comes with a range of processors as well as storage spaces including the Fusion drive.Mac mini comes with Intel HD & Intel Iris graphics , and also comes with Tunderbold 2 for faster transfer .
