The world's thinnest tablet: Apple launches 0.2inch thick iPad Air 2 and retina iMac - and reveals you'll be able to use your iPhone as a credit card from Monday.

Apple's Time Cook with the iPad Air 2, which will be available in gold, and includes a fingerprint touch sensor and a new faster chip.

Apple has unveiled a new ultrathin version of its iPad Air which the firm claims is the world's thinnest tablet at 6.1mm.
It also revealed its Apple Pay system to turn the iPhone 6 into a credit card will launch on Monday.
The firm also unveiled a new iMac with the worlds highest resolution screen, and announced a new version of its Mac OS software, called Yosemite, will be made available for free today.
However, in an unusual gaffe, the firm leaked details of its two new iPads - the iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2 - in an iOS 8.1 iPad user guide for iBooks on iTunes hours before the event.

'It's been an incredible year ... but we've got a few more things to share with you,' said Cook.

'The iPad is a simple and magical device, but while it has been beautifully simple on the outside, it has advanced technology jam packed on the inside,' he said.

'We have sold over 225 million iPads around the world,' Cook revealed, before announcing the iPad Air 2, which the firm claims is the world's thinnest tablet at 6.1mm thick.

It has a new chip, the A8X, 64-bit Processor - a new generation chip that is like the one in the iPhone 6 which is 40 per cent faster.

The gadget has a ten hour battery life, and a laminated screen with an anti-reflective coating, reduces reflections by 56 per cent.

It will cost $499 to $829 depending on features.

Apple also reduced the price of its original iPad Mini to $249, and introduced a new version with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

He also revealed Apple Pay, which allows iPhone 6 owners to pay using their handset simply by tapping it against a card reader.

'We think that it is going to be profound,' he said, before revealing the product will launch on Monday.

With Apple Pay, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners will be able to make payments at brick-and-mortar stores by holding their phone near a card reader.
'The iPad is a simple and magical device, but while it has been beautifully simple on the outside, it has advanced technology jam packed on the inside,' he said.
The firm's Phil Schiller also revealed a new iMac with a high resolution retina display the firm says is the world's highest resolution.

Called the retina 5K display, it boasts 14.7 million pixels, seven times more than a HD TV.The $2499 27inch iMac with retina display goes on sale today.

The firm also revealed a new version of its Mac Mini computer, selling for $499. The tiny computer, which has been popular as a living room machine, also goes on sale today.

there are mobile CPUs and computer CPUs.
surface 3 is a computer with a fan. iPad air is a mobile device that excels as both a computer and media center to an extent.
the surface 3 is HEAVIER AND THICKER. so the average user won't read all these tech jumbo specs.they want usability and beauty. which windows shii can't offer.
I am well aware of the differences BTW the 2 devices.

so HA!

I guess u havent googled surface 3.its not a computer,its d only tablet dat can perform full computer base task,making it d most productive tablet in d world.mr know all,have u ever seen a tablet with fan cpu?dat got to show dat u re novice to mobile computing.most window tablet come with 'y' branded intel's haswell processor,meaning its ulta low and mobile.if u think ipad is thin,just wait for d release of intel broadwell processor with 14nm size next year,u ll surely get a paper size tablet.

c dis techno boy. have u even touched a surface 3 or an iPad in your life?
they use fans. cos they run PC CPUs. surface pro 3 comes with Intel i3,5. or 7 CPUs. with fans for cooling. they are PCs running windows 8.1 in tablet mode. with 8gig ram options... u should read once in a while. the iPad air 2 is still the world's thinnest and best tablet.
forget future. u clearly can't see the present.

But also bigger, worse battery life, heavier and far fewer tablet specific apps. Not to mention more expensive.

Don't get me wrong, I have a Surface Pro 3 too, but the two tablets serve different purposes
