Today's the big day, when Apple reveals its new iPads to the world.

But in typical Apple style it began the day by tooting its own horn a bit, revealing some impressive adoption numbers for iOS 7.

Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that 64 percent of iOS devices are now running iOS 7, with 200 million devices downloading the OS update in the first five days.

He also reported that there are now over a million apps in Apple's App Store, with a total of 60 billion downloads and $13 billion (about £8b, AU$13.4b) earned by developers.

Apple kicked off the event with a video showcasing its strategy and values - namely, creating "the very best products in the world," Cook explained.

He also touched on the new iPhones revealed last month, showing a dramatic video about their launch in Apple Stores around the world.
