Apple on Tuesday announced a new version of its 9.7-inch iPad. The updated tablet starts at $329 and will be available to order from Friday. The iPad, which replaces the iPad air 2, will feature a 9.7-inch screen, A9 processing chip and up to 10 hours of battery life. Apple's shift to a more affordable iPad arrives as the company tries to boost tablet sales.

The Cupertino company also launched the (RED) version of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus. The new red aluminum iPhone is part of Apple's (RED) campaign, which contributes to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.
