Apple announced a minor refresh to its iPad line as well as a new high-resolution iMac during a small event on Thursday at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Apple announced the iPad Air 2, an update to last year's iPad Air. The iPad Air 2 is 18% thinner than last year's iPad. It also has Apple's fingerprint scanner4 and a new chip, the A8X.

Apple updated the iPad Mini with Retina but didn't talk about the update at all. It just said that it had an iPad Mini 3.

This is a bit odd, since Apple CEO Tim Cook said the iPad Mini had 100% customer satisfaction. Despite being loved by consumers, the iPad Mini got no stage time. Perhaps it's because Apple doesn't think the Mini will be a big seller now that the iPhone 6 Plus exists.

Coming into this event, there was a lot of talk about how the iPad had lost its mojo. Sales are basically flat on a year-over-year basis. There was nothing that we saw today that's going to change that.

Apple might be able to jolt some life into the lineup by lowering prices through a diversified line of products.

Beyond the iPads, Apple announced a new 27-inch iMac with Retina display. It has more pixels than a 4K TV, says Apple. The iMac costs $2,499. It looks like a great desktop computer, but desktop computers are a pretty niche market at this point.

Other stuff Apple announced: OSX Yosemite is out Thursday. And iOS 8.1 is out on Monday.

Apple Pay starts Monday.
