Apple refreshes the entry-level iPad with faster chips

It's not the biggest announcement coming out of Apple's product launch event today, but it's still welcome for those who are on the precipice of springing for a new tablet: Apple has released a modest refresh of its entry-level iPad. The tablet's design doesn't change, but it does swap out the A12 chip for the newer A13 chip that Apple says is "up to 20%" faster than the previous model.

This is a developing story. Today's Apple Event is still in progress. We will update this piece with information as it becomes available, but you can follow along with the announcements in real-time within our liveblog.
