Tuesday's Apple event welcomed several new gadgets to the iPad family, including a new iPad Air and an updated iPad Mini with Retina display.
In our latest Ask A Dev video, iOS Architect Rene Cacheaux explains what the new iPads mean for users and for the company's future.
Apple's event revealed a smoother transition between users' mobile devices and their desktops, Cacheaux said. For example, in the new iWork, anything created on a desktop displays identically on an iPad.
"We're starting to see Apple converge mobile and desktop, allowing users to do more with their devices," he said.
In the video above, Cacheaux also explains that he was most surprised by Apple's free release of OS X Mavericks, "marking a shift in Apple's business model, where it's all about selling hardware."
While he didn't expect an iWatch or an Apple TV hardware update -- Tim Cook declared 2014 the "Year of the Product" -- Cacheaux was surprised that Apple didn't announce an Apple TV software update.
