quarter. >> people are holding on to their tablets for a long time. 14% of people in the market still have the first ipad. there are a lot of good things in the new device that could get people like the first ipad users to upgrade. but it may not be as much to get people who have only had a device a year or two to buy a new ipad. >> reporter: what did catch attention is a new imac desktop and 17-inch retina screen. it's used on the smaller apple devices but now moved up to a display which should appeal to certain users. >> it's $2,500, but people who really care about working on photographs and video are going to love that product. >> 4-k monitors can cost as much as 3 grand. here you get a 5k monitor for $2,499. >> reporter: apple has fresh new products to sell just in time for the important holiday shopping season. it also cut prices on some holdover models to appeal to the budget minded. in cupertino, david louie, abc 7

of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®.
