The first thing you need to know about Apple's iPad Pro is that it's, well, giant.
About
an inch longer than a standard sheet of paper, the Pro features a
12.9-inch diagonal display, giving it 78 per cent more surface area than
the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2.
At nearly 1.6 pounds, the Pro is heavier than
current models, but not much more so than the original iPad from 2010.
There's room for four speakers, compared with two on other iPads.
The price is supersized, too. The iPad Pro starts at $799, compared
with $499 for the standard-size iPad Air 2 and $269 for the cheapest
iPad, the 2-year-old iPad Mini 2. A physical keyboard from Apple costs
$169 extra, and the Apple Pencil sells for $99.
Designed with
professionals in mind, the Pro is Apple's way of reaching new consumers
as sales of iPads — and tablets in general — decline.
