Apple gave fans the mini-moment they had been waiting for when it unveiled a smaller iPad to the world during a presentation at the California Theatre, but the company surprised the tech community by also updating the standard iPad with a fourth-generation iteration just seven months after its last update.

The smaller device will officially be called the iPad mini and have a 7.9-inch screen. “You can hold it in one hand, this isn’t a shrunken down iPad, it’s an entirely new design,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, who introduced the iPad mini in San Jose.
