Apple has unveiled its latest product that seeks to carve out a niche 2 in a relatively 3 new area - the mini tablet.


At the historic California Theater in San Jose, Apple VP of worldwide marketing 4, Phil Schiller, unveiled the new tablet.


iPad Mini has a 7.9 inch screen. That’s 0.9 inches bigger than its chief rival, Google’s Nexus 5 7, which has been grabbing a bigger share of the tablet market.


Apple claims the area of the screen is 67% larger than the Nexus 7, while surfing the web in landscape mode.


Apple also touts 6 the screen ratio being the same as the iPad 2, so developer’s apps work exactly the same - another shot at Android which is more fragmented.


The iPad mini is the width of a pencil and the weight of a paper pad. But perhaps the biggest shock is the price.


iPad mini’s base model, with 16 gigabytes, comes in at 329-dollars-far pricier than the 199 dollars for the Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle 7 Fire.


A big surprise was the arrival of the fourth generation of the "regular sized" iPad.


Lighter 8 and faster with a new A6-X chip, this new iPad comes only about 7 months since the last iPad was launched.


CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple had sold 100 million iPad sales in just 2 years and that 91-percent of all web traffic for tablets is through the iPad.


Apple also refreshed its entire line of Mac Book Pro 1 laptops and introduced a new iMac all-one-desktop that’s 80perecent thinner than the previous version.


The late founder 9 Steve Jobs had famously said that seven-inch tablets were too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad.


The thinking here has obviously changed since his passing.
