Fresh off the reveal of its hotly anticipated iPhones 6 and 6 Plus, Apple announced new versions of two more flagship products: the iPad Air and iMac desktop computer, according to USA Today.

The iPad Air 2 will be Apple’s thinnest tablet, available in gold, silver and “space gray.” It will also have the Touch ID fingerprint sensor already in iPhones, and it can use Apple Pay. The ipad Air 2 will start at $499 for the 16GB model.

True to Apple’s tradition of offering top-notch screens, the iMac will boast not 4K, but a 5K display, with 14.7 million pixels. The cost? $2,499.

Apple also announced a new version of the oft-forgotten Mac Mini desktop and showed iOS 8.1 and OS X Yosemite at the event. The latter will be available today.
