Apple unveils new iPads, Macs, announces Apple Pay launch date

Apple on Thursday unveiled the new iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2, touting the latter as the "world's thinnest tablet" as the company tries to reverse lackluster demand for tablet computers.

At the event in Cupertino, California, the company also introduced updated operating software and announced that its new mobile payments system, Apple Pay, will launch on Monday.

Phil Schiller, Apple's senior VP of worldwide marketing, said the 6.1-millimeter thick iPad Air 2 features a new anti-reflective coating - a first for a tablet. The iPad Air 2 also features a better camera and faster processor, featuring a new-generation A8X chip.
