If you're new to AirPods, considering buying a pair, or just want to pick up some new tips.
Apple Posts iPad Mini Intro, TV Ad, and Keynote Video
If all that we had done was take the original iPad and just reduce it, all that you would be aware of was everything that was just missing. There is inherent loss in just reducing a product in size.Apple has also posted a new television ad for the iPad mini that features colorful Smart Covers dancing around the screen. The ad is reminiscent of the 'Colors' iMac ad from 1999 that featured spinning iMacs set to the Rolling Stones song "She's A Rainbow".
What we did, was we went back to the very beginning and we took the time to design a product that was a concentration of, and not a reduction of, the original. We felt strongly that 7.9 inches was exactly the right display size, but it became clear that we had to reduce the width of the borders. So, you can still pick it up and easily use it with one hand.
Apple has posted a video of the iPad mini media event on its website. The video is also available on the Apple Keynotes Podcast on the iTunes Store. [Podcast links: Keynotes, Keynotes in HD, Keynotes in 1080p HD]

"The exquisite chromesticity of the diamond polished chamfered anodized aluminium unibody edge provides a perpendicularly pontificant and lush contrast to the rugged aesthetic of the silky crispness of the hammered bezel that appears to float in mid air"

Jony Ive is very impressed with a product that Jony Ive designed!

Wow, the marketing bs is blowing me away!
Then they reduced the product in size.
EDIT - At the risk of people continuing to quote me that are taking this seriously and insulting me, it's a joke. It's called the iPad Mini for Christ's sake, of course they reduced the iPad in size. Not trying to offend your latest purchase, but it's literally a smaller iPad. Can't deny that. So lighten up!
Ah to see Jony Ive's cocked head against a white background. All is right with the world.
I swear to god they only use him because of his accent.
