Make way - there's a new iPad in town and it's packing 64-bit architecture. Apple has finally lifted the lid on the new iPad Air, putting to rest all the months of speculation.

It also features an A7 processor and M7 motion coprocessor to follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 5S. It'll also see a 72x increase in graphics performance.

It's twice as fast than the previous generation, and eight times faster than the original iPad. It also features a 5MP isight camera capable of shooting 1080p HD video.

The iPad Air is available in silver and white, space gray and black from November 1 for the starting price of $598 for the 16GB model with Wi-Fi only.
