The device also comes with the TouchID fingerprint sensor, first debuted on the iPhone 5S, and promises a 10-hour battery life.

Revealing the device, he added: “So what do you do when you make the best tablet in the world? How do you make it better? You do this.”
The Wi-Fi-only model marks up at £399 for 16GB, £479 for 64GB, and £559 for 128GB.
