All of Apple's big announcements from the October 2018 event

Apple had a lot to talk about at its special event in Brooklyn today. Here are the biggest announcements.

iPad Pro

Apple has announced a brand new iPad Pro, with an edge-to-edge display and no Home button. It uses a new Liquid Retina display, like the one found on the iPhone XR. It comes in 11-inch and 12.9-inch configurations. And because it's ditched the Home button, it sports Face ID. Instead of Lightning, the new iPad Pro features support for USB-C. It's all powered by the new A12X Bionic chip.

MacBook Air

Apple has announced a brand new MacBook Air with a Retina display. It comes with Touch ID, as well as two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. It also has 17% less volume than the previous MacBook Air, while retaining a 13.3-inch display.

Mac mini

Apple has indeed announced a new Mac mini, which now comes in Space Gray, features four- or six-core Intel processors, and up to 64GB of memory. The Mac mini now utilizes all SSD storage for faster data retrieval and comes with a plethora of ports for expanded connectivity.
