Apple debuts updated iPad, Apple TV models

Apple on Tuesday announced new versions of its entry-level iPad and iPad Pro tablet as well as an updated Apple TV.

Why it matters: The new models, which include faster processors, give Apple an updated product line ahead of the holiday shopping season.

Details:

The entry-level $449 iPad gets a faster A14 processor and improved rear camera. It also switches to a USB-C connection in place of the iPhone's Lightning port. That matches the other iPad models but makes connections to some accessories, such as Apple Pencil, a trickier proposition.
Apple's iPad Pro gets the M2 chip used in the latest Macs as well as support for Wi-Fi 6E, making it the first Apple product to get the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology. The 11-inch model starts at $799, while the 12.9-inch version starts at $1,099.
A new $129 Apple TV 4K gets an updated A15 processor along with HDR10 support.
The new iPads are available for order now, with devices shipping Oct. 26. The new Apple TV can be ordered now and will begin shipping Nov. 4.
