Apple introduces iPad Pro
The iPad Pro, featuring a 12.9-inch Retina display with 5.6 million pixels (the most ever in an iOS device) and a 64-bit A9X chip has been introduced by Apple. The new, larger iPad Pro is thin and light and provides extended battery life. The iPad Pro will enable a new generation of advanced apps for everything from productivity, design, illustration, engineering and medical, to education, gaming and entertainment.
In addition to this, the Apple Pencil for iPad Pro, an input device for fluid drawing and sketching, was unveiled. The touch subsystem of the Multi-Touch display in iPad Pro has been redesigned to work with Apple Pencil to reduce latency and deliver accuracy for activities like fine art illustration and detailed 3D design. The Apple Pencil’s sensors measure both pressure and tilt for a fast and fluid drawing experience, while a built-in Lightning connector makes for easy pairing and charging. Apple Pencil also works with apps like Mail, Notes, Procreate and Office 365 for iPad.

Apple’s new Smart Keyboard further extends the utility of iPad Pro, offering a full-sized keyboard in a thin, durable design. The Smart Keyboard attaches to iPad Pro’s Smart Connector port, eliminating the need for a separate battery, on/off switch or Bluetooth pairing. The Smart Keyboard is covered in custom woven fabric and features keys that provide the accuracy, stability and feel of standard keyboards, but is also easily foldable and can transform into a Smart Cover. The Smart Keyboard also works seamlessly with new QuickType features in iOS 9 to make typing even faster and easier.
“iPad Pro is the most advanced and powerful iPad we have ever made. Its beautiful and large 12.9-inch Retina display has 5.6 million pixels and provides an immersive experience for content and apps. The iPad Pro is far and away the fastest iOS device we have ever made — its A9X chip beats most portable PCs in both CPU and graphics tasks, but is thin and light enough to hold all day,” said Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller. “The innovative Apple Pencil and new Smart Keyboard enable users to customise their iPad Pro experience to the particular apps they use and the work they do, making iPad Pro ideal for everything from professional productivity to advanced 3D design.”
iPad Pro’s 12.9-inch Retina display, with 5.6 million pixels and refined Multi-Touch technology, is the most advanced and highest resolution display ever in an iOS device. It delivers greater contrast, more uniform brightness and improved energy efficiency through photo alignment technology, oxide TFT and variable refresh rate. A new four-speaker audio design provides powerful, clear and rich stereo sound, and a refined unibody enclosure of anodised aluminium gives iPad Pro a sturdy feel with a thin and light design that is easy to hold.
iPad Pro delivers ground-breaking performance and energy efficiency. Apple’s new 64-bit A9X chip, with third-generation 64-bit architecture, provides desktop-class CPU performance and console-class graphics. It features ultra-fast wireless connectivity with 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO technology, and supports a wide range of 4G LTE bands and other fast cellular network technologies (DC-HSDPA, HSPA).
