Apple debuts iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3: Thinner, faster, gold, and with Touch ID<article>
<section class="page">

Apple has dramatically overhauled its iPad lineup in the last two years with the ultra-thin iPad Air and super-small iPad mini. So where could the company go from there? The
iPad Air 2 and
iPad mini 3 revealed at Thursday’s media event are even slimmer than before and look more like the iPhone with a new
gold hue and Touch ID.</p><p>
The improved iPads aren’t game-changers by any means, which may upset analysts who have pointed to declining iPad sales as a sign that Apple needs to do more to rejuvenate its lineup. The company sold
13.3 million units in the third quarter, a 9 percent decline from 14.6 million sold in the same quarter last year. But iPads are still big business: Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Thursday that the company has sold more than 225 million iPads around the world since launching its first tablet four years ago. iPads outsell PCs every quarter.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2834505/apple-debuts-ipad-air-2-and-ipad-mini-3-thinner-faster-gold-and-with-touch-id.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
