Apple Unveils IPad Pro With 12.9-inch Display

(RTTNews) - Apple Inc. (AAPL) Wednesday introduced the all-new iPad Pro, a tablet with 12.9-inch display aimed to lure business users. The new larger iPad Pro is powered by 64-bit A9X chip.

"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." said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

"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," Schiller added.

The company also launched a stylus called Apple Pencil and new Smart Keyboard for improving the "iPad Pro experience."

iPad Pro starts at $799 for the 32GB with Wi-Fi model and $1079 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB model. It comes in three metallic finishes including silver, gold and space gray and will be available starting in November.
