【asceticism and eroticism in the mythology of śiva】

Apple has kicked off its big iPhone event with software and asceticism and eroticism in the mythology of śivaservices, but the first hardware device to hit the stage is the new, 10.2-inch iPad.

Besides being significantly larger than before (its predecessor had a 9.7-inch screen), the 7th generation entry-level iPad comes with Apple's A10 Fusion chip, and brings support for Apple Pencil for the first time.

It also has a smart connector, meaning you can connect it to Apple's Smart Keyboard (both the Pencil and the Keyboard are purchased separately, for $99 and $159, respectively).
