Apple unveiled revamped versions of two of its fan-favorite iPads during its September 14 keynote address.
At its annual iPhone event, Apple took the wraps off an upgraded version of its low-cost iPad and a redesigned iPad Mini, which cost $329 and $499 respectively.
The latest iPad runs on Apple's A13 Bionic chip, which makes the device 20% faster than the previous version, Apple says. The new iPad has an upgraded signal processor for improved rear camera performance, as well as a new, 12 megapixel front camera that provides a 122-degree field of view.
Like the iPad Pro, the iPad will run Apple's Center Stage technology, which follows the user as they move around on video chats.
The latest iPad starts at $329 for the 64 GB version and come in silver and space gray. Customers can purchase it right now.
The new iPad Mini, a smaller yet more premium iPad, is getting a new design with narrower bezels around the display and rounded edges. Apple also removed the home button from the front of the device - it's now situated at the top of the device, but it still contains Touch ID, Apple's fingerprint scanning technology.
The iPad Mini will have an improved front and rear camera, with the ability to shoot 4K video and run Apple's Center Stage technology. The device also supports Apple's second-generation Apple Pencil.
