 The  new iPad  and the new iPad mini has just launched minutes ago. After a number  of rumours and speculations, here we witness the launch of two new iPad's by the most valuable company of the world. The iPad mini is a thinner and lighter version of its big 9.7 inch daddy. It weighs  around 310 g which is really lighter than the iPad 4 which weighs around 650 g depending whether it will support sim-card or be a Wi-FI version.


The iPad 4 has improved graphics and  CPU performance  while it retains the same lovely retina display. Also, with the new iPad 4 and iPad mini, we can bid goodbye to the earlier 30-pin connector of the iPad. The new iPad has a much improved camera for all those who like to take photos with their iPad.Both the models will ship with 16 GB, 32GB and 64GB  model variants with no external memory card slots. 


Although rumours about a smaller size variant of the iPad was circulating months ago, the launch of the iPad 4 has surprised many. The reason why Apple launched the iPad 4 now ,instead of its usual march timeline, is unexplained.Maybe the iPad was launched now so that it gained Apple  a headstart against its rivals namely google and microsoft who are preparing for launching some really exciting things for us in near time

 It will attract customs duty  of  16.854% in India
