The iPad Pro is a tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It is available in 2 screen sizes, 12.9 inch and 9.7 inch,[5] each with three options for internal storage capacities: 32, 128 or 256 GB, whilst, the 256 GB configuration marking the iPad Pro the first iOS device to be configurable to that storage size.

The first, 12.9 inch version of the iPad Pro was announced on September 9, 2015[6] and released on November 11, 2015.[7] It is larger than all previous iPad models and the first iPad tablet to feature LPDDR4 RAM.[1] This was followed by the 9.7 inch version of the iPad Pro, which was announced on March 21, 2016 to begin shipping on March 31, 2016. Compared to the iPad Air 2, it features a faster CPU, a better camera, and it is the first iPad to feature True Tone Flash and Retina Flash. It also brings in a new 256GB storage option.

History

The 12.9 inch version of the iPad Pro was announced during an Apple Special Event on September 9, 2015. It was released on November 11, 2015 with gold, silver, and space gray color choices. Prices ranging between US$799.99–1,229.99 based on models. On March 21, 2016, the 9.7 inch version of the iPad Pro was announced at an Apple keynote with an addition of rose gold color option. The 9.7 inch version also introduced the ability to choose base 32GB Model with Cellular + WiFi option. (Previously, Cellular + WiFi option was only available on 128GB iPad Pro model). The 9.7 inch model is priced between $599-$1,029 depending on the configuration. It shipped on March 31, 2016.

Features

iPad Pro includes the A9X chip and the Apple M9 motion co-processor. A number of features are carried over from the standard iPad, such as Touch ID and the Retina Display. New features include a smart connector for a keyboard and four stereo speakers located in pairs on top and bottom of the device. Its screen is a 12.9" 2732-by-2048 Retina Display at 264 pixels per inch or a 9.7" 2048-by-1536 Retina Display at 264 pixels per inch and features a variable refresh rate, a first for Apple.

IPad Pro and Apple Pencil (in boxes)

Accessories

There are two accessories made specifically for iPad Pro – an attachable keyboard and a stylus, Apple Pencil, both of which are sold separately.[8]

Smart Keyboard

Smart Keyboard docks with iPad Pro using the Smart Connector, a magnetic connection that provides data transfer and power. Smart Keyboard, which doubles as a kickstand, is comparable to that of the competing Microsoft Surface Pro.[9]

Apple Pencil

Main article: Apple Pencil

Apple Pencil is an atypical stylus designed to work exclusively with the iPad Pro with unrivaled precision that can be recharged via the lightning port on the iPad Pro itself.[10][11] iPad Pro introduces a new display with increased responsiveness and precision over previous iPad displays with Apple Pencil support added.[12][13] During the keynote, Apple demonstrated drawing, managing publication layout, and document annotation.[14][15][16]

Known issues

The device shuts down randomly. Apple is investigating the issue.[17]
