iPad Pro goes official on specs and more

#

The long-awaited mammoth iPad Pro was formally debuted yesterday and Apple announced that it would release in November. This is a mighty tablet that comes at a high price but should have plenty to offer. We have specs information, pricing and more details ahead.

We’ve already given news on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus as well as the iPad mini 4 that have also gone official, and now it’s the turn of the new 12.9-inch iPad. The iPad Pro may be big but it’s extremely slim for its size. It also comes with support for the new Apple Pencil active stylus, which is an optional accessory.

We’ll begin with the specifications and it’s powered by the new Apple A9X 64-bit processor with M9 motion coprocessor, and has a 12.9-inch IPS LCD display with resolution of 2732 x 2048 resulting in 264 ppi. It comes in internal storage models of 32GB or 128GB. There’s an 8-megapixel rear camera, 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, and just as you’d expect it runs the new iOS 9.
