Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that Apple just announced a couple of new iPads. While the new line up was met with some confusion last week (the iPad and iPad Air are pretty indistinguishable now), now that the tablets are landing in users hands today, one particular model is proving a hot topic.

In the days of the Motorola Razr, hot pink tech was all the rage. Today's world of minimal silver and grey hues was a mere glint in Jonny Ive's eye, and rainbow-coloured gadgets were everywhere. But the new pink iPad is finally bringing the trend back. (Check out the best iPad deals if you're in the mood for some hot pink.)
