There has been a lot of speculation about new products in recent weeks. Now Apple has released a press release introducing a new 10.5″ iPad Air and an iPad mini.
One week before Apple's "It's Show Time" event, Cupertino is launching two new iPad devices. The iPad Air features a slimmer design with a 10.5" screen diagonal and an Apple A12 Bionic chip. In addition to the performance boost, the iPad Air also features a Retina display with True Tone support. The resolution is 2224 × 1668 pixels. The new tablet is considered the direct successor to the discontinued 10.5" iPad Pro.

The new iPad mini retains the 7.9" display of its predecessor. It is also powered by an Apple A12 Bionic chip. The Retina display also supports True Tone and has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. The first generation Apple Pencil can be used on both devices. According to Apple, the cameras on both iPad models have been redesigned and can now deliver high-quality images even in poor lighting conditions.
