Apple announced its iPad Air 2 will be getting a price drop and start at $399 for the 16GB model, instead of the prior price of $499. The drop follows the reveal of the new, smaller iPad Pro.

The new iPad Pro has some significant advancements over iPad Air 2, including an A9X chip (over the Air 2's A8X), a 12 MP camera capable of shooting in 4K and a screen that adapts to ambient color temperatures.

The iPad Air 2 16GB will cost $399, 64GB will cost $499 and 128GB will cost $599. The new iPad Pro will start at $599 for a 32GB, 9.7-inch model.
