Apple on Thursday held a new product event on its campus in Cupertino, California, where the stars of the show were a thinner version of its iPad tablet and a 27-inch iMac desktop with a display that has 67 percent more pixels than a 4K TV. The iPad Air 2 will have an entry point of $499 for a 16-GB model. It is only 6.1mm thick — more than 50 percent thinner than the original iPad — and tips the scale at just under a pound. Apple improved the Retina screen’s reflective properties so it’s easier to see in direct sunlight.
