Apple has officially announced the next version of its popular tablet series, the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.

The iPad Air was pretty thin to begin with, and as you’d expect, the iPad 2 is even thinner than the width of a pencil at 6.1mm thick. That’s actually an 18% decrease in size, which is kind of impressive if you’ve ever held the iPad Air.

The iPad Air 2 sports a brand-new processor specifically created for the tablet called the A8X. Its CPU is 40% faster, its GPU is 2.5x faster, and is based on a 2nd-generation 64-bit architecture. An additional M8 motion co-processor is also included, which is able to track motion, calibrate the tablet’s sensors, and contains a barometer.

What would a new iOS device be without an improved camera, and the iPad Air 2 has just that. The tablet has an 8MP iSight camera capable of recording video in 1080p and has an f/2.4 aperture. The camera is capable of performing Burst Mode, Timelapse, and taking Slow-motion videos.

The new iPad Mini boasts modest improvements from its predecessor.

The front-facing camera has also been improved with a new FaceTime HD camera that features an all-new sensor and has an f/2.2 aperture. The camera also has improved facial detection, can take single-shot HDR photos and HDR videos, and is capable of taking burst selfies, you know, for when you need the perfect photo of you faking enjoyment at a public event.

The iPad features other hardware improvements that include faster Wi-Fi that’s able to perform at 150Mbps and has 20 LTE bands and finally comes with Apple’s Touch ID. This allows iPad users to be able to unlock their device, make purchases, and access sensitive information simply by using their fingerprint. Apple Pay will also be supported in the iPad Air 2. The tablet also has an improved Retina display, although at the time of its announcement, Apple didn’t go into just what makes this display better than previous versions.

The iPad Air 2 will retail for $499, $599, and $699 for the 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB versions, respectively. For those that would like their tablet to be equipped with LTE, you’ll pay $130 more from those original prices ($629, $729, and $829.)

The iPad Mini 3 was also announced today, although it didn’t get as much attention as the iPad Air 2. The iPad Mini 3 features a 7.9-inch Retina display, a 5MP iSight camera capable of recording videos in 1080p, a FaceTime HD camera, 802.11n with MIMO and will also come with Touch ID. Pricing for the iPad Mini 3 is $100 less than the iPad Air 2, which is $399, $499, and $599 for the 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB versions, respectively.

Pre-orders for both the iPad Air 2 or the iPad Mini 3 will start as early as tomorrow, October 17, where they’ll ship next week.
