Last night if you tried to go to the online store, you’d see the following familiar message: “We’re busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon.”
Apple announced the new iPad Air during it’s keynote last week. It is much thinner and lighter than the previous generation ones at only 7.5mm thick and weighing 1 pound. The improvements don’t stop at the new form factor either. Under the hood it sports Apple’s new A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, and a new M7 motion coprocessor for enhanced graphics performance. Another improvement is a 9.7-inch Retina multi-touch display with resolution coming in at 2048×1536 and 264 pixels per inch.
iPad Air Now Available
The store went live this morning and most of what was announced at the keynote is available to purchase sans the iPad Mini with Retina Display. For that you’ll need to wait until November. If you want to get the wild looking new Mac Pro, that is coming in December.
