Apple unveils the new iPad Mini 3, iPad Air 2, Mac mini and iMac

Apple on Thursday unveiled a new iPad Air 2 that will improve upon its past tablet models.

The latest iPads includes Touch ID, which allows users to unlock their devices and authorize purchases with their fingerprint. That option is already available on the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The new device is 18 percent thinner than the previous iPad Air. iPad Air 2 will come in silver, space gray and gold. It starts with $499 with 16 GB, $599 for 64 GB and $699 for 128 GB.

Apple also introduced a new iPad mini 3, starting at $399. Pre-orders for the two devices start today. They ship starting next week.

Updates to the Mac computer line were unveiled as well. Schiller announced that the high-resolution Retina 5K display is coming to the iMac, saying Apple has built an “iMac with the most incredible display we’ve ever made.”

Disappointed with iPad Mini 3... nothing new except TouchID. I was considering to get one but now iPad Air 2 is on the list.

Overvalued stock. Ackerman wants AAPL to do more buybacks. As if they haven't already wasted too much money buying back expensive stock.

Good thing is you get free cookies with the purchase of each mini. And for those on the conservative side of the aisle, AAPL plans to unveil maxis soon.

All that you get with mini are two apple stickers that you can’t bite. #cookiesNotFoundOnGS](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=cookiesNotFoundOnGS)

They could have upgraded the screen quality, it isnt the same as the bigger iPad, the colors looks washed out on the mini.

New A8x processor would have been nice upgrade as well. Looks like they want people to buy iPhone plus or bigger iPad. I wonder whether mini will be continued or not?

Something for AAPL stock owners

Apple re-branded the Mini2 as Mini3 and slapped a TouchID on it, just Apple being Apple.

Re: Apple unveils the new iPad Mini 3, iPad Air 2, Mac mini and iMac

apple mini sells for its size and more importantly, its light weight. Apple will milk that compared to iPad where there is more competition.
