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,[6] each with three options for internal storage capacities: 32, 128 or 256 GB, the 256 GB configuration making 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[7] and released on November 11, 2015.[8] 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 and began 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 and a True Tone display, which allows the LCD to adapt to ambient lighting to change its color and intensity in order to offer a more pleasant and natural experience.

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 was released on March 31, 2016.

Features

Both iPad Pro models include the A9X chip and the Apple M9 motion co-processor. The 9.7 inch model, however, has a slightly underclocked CPU (2.16 GHz compared to 2.24 GHz on the 12.9 inch model). 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. The 12.9 inch version of the iPad Pro is the first iPad to include 4 GB of RAM.

Accessories

There are three accessories made specifically for iPad Pro – an attachable keyboard; an active bluetooth tracking stylus, Apple Pencil; and a Form-Fitted Silicone case that is compatible with the Smart Keyboard, all of which are sold separately.[9]

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.[10]
