iPad Pro Arrives in Over 40 Countries Including the US, UK, China & Japan


CUPERTINO, California ? November 9, 2015 ? Apple? today announced iPad Pro? is available to order online on Wednesday, November 11, from Apple.com and will arrive at Apple?s retail stores, select carriers and Apple Authorized Resellers starting later this week. Apple Pencil? and Apple?s new Smart Keyboard, also available to order on Wednesday, bring breakthrough levels of precision and utility to iPad Pro.


?The early response to iPad Pro from app developers and our customers has been incredible, and we?re excited to get iPad Pro into the hands of customers around the world this week,? said Philip Schiller, Apple?s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. ?iPad Pro is the most powerful iPad we?ve ever made, giving users the ability to be even more creative and more productive with the epic 12.9-inch Retina display, powerful 64-bit A9X chip and groundbreaking Apple Pencil and new Smart Keyboard. We can?t wait to see what they do with iPad Pro.?




The new, larger iPad Pro features a stunning 12.9-inch Retina? display with 5.6 million pixels, the most ever in an iOS device, and groundbreaking performance with the new 64-bit A9X chip, rivaling most portable PCs. It is thin, light and delivers all-day 10-hour battery life* that users have come to expect from iPad?. Apple Pencil for iPad Pro makes drawing and sketching feel remarkably fluid and natural, and delivers incredible accuracy for activities like fine art illustration and detailed 3D design. A built-in Lightning? connector on Apple Pencil makes for quick and easy pairing and charging. Apple?s new Smart Keyboard further extends the utility of iPad Pro, offering a full-sized keyboard in a thin, durable design so you can take it anywhere. The Smart Keyboard attaches to iPad Pro?s innovative Smart Connector port, eliminating the need for a separate battery, on/off switch or Bluetooth pairing.


iPad Pro has already inspired developers of the next generation of advanced apps for everything from productivity, design, illustration, engineering and medical, to education, gaming and entertainment.


?iPad Pro enables new forms of mobile creativity that will help transform how creatives work,? said Scott Belsky, vice president of Products at Adobe. ?With the larger iPad Pro screen and lightning-fast performance, creatives will be able to take full advantage of Adobe?s family of Creative Cloud mobile apps. For example, the ability to manipulate a 50-megapixel image right on iPad Pro in Photoshop Fix and then send that image to Photoshop CC on a desktop, for further refinement, is the kind of industry-advancing collaboration that millions of Adobe and Apple customers will benefit from.?


?Creative thinkers worldwide use Paper as part of their workflow, designing everything from flow charts, to storyboards, to wireframes, to architectural sketches. iPad Pro is the ultimate platform for Paper, with a powerful 12.9-inch Retina display and A9X chip that deliver performance rivaling most portable PCs,? said Georg Petschnigg, CEO and co-founder of FiftyThree. ?iPad Pro gives Paper users an even bigger and more dynamic canvas on which to rapidly capture ideas however they strike ? as notes, photos, sketches or diagrams.?


?Procreate 3 is designed for iPad Pro to give artists a more immersive experience than ever before,? said James Cuda of Savage Interactive. ?iPad Pro?s gorgeous 12.9-inch Retina display lets you create massive artworks: up to an incredible 16K in resolution. This new level of definition allows for large format printing and exceptionally detailed artworks. Procreate 3 is also built for Apple Pencil. Its remarkable accuracy, pressure sensitivity, tilt detection and palm rejection make Apple Pencil the tool we?ve been waiting for.?


?iPad Pro and Apple Pencil are the new pad and pen,? said Evi Meyer, CEO of 3D sketching app UMake. ?With its simple use and powerful computing capacity, designers can leverage these tools to reimagine their sketching experience and finally elevate their flat work to 3D. UMake, iPad Pro and Apple Pencil finally empower professional designers to embrace innovation, along with their creativity.?

Still not seeing the point of the iPad Pro.
 
Did you really have to copy the entire press release?

Why not? People do that all the time here when new cars are announced. I fail to see the difference.

Tis true.

It is normal to quote it too.

True but a he's a newcomer (I won't say "n00b" as that's rather derogatory) I think we can let that slide, can't we? It's more of a convention than an actual rule.
 
Autism strikes again?
 
Quite possibly since apparently that's all anyone here is.
 
So should we go back to discussing the actual product or what? :p

My thoughts:

Not gonna buy one. It's too expensive for what I use a tablet for. I need and want a real keyboard, some ports, an accessible file system etc and my Macbook Air do all of those things better. It could use a better screen, though.

iOS still needs some work in the "pro" department. Apps are getting there (or are there, I should say) but file management is a pain.

I'm told by reviewers that the iPad Pro is ridiculously fast, like stupid fast. Not just for a tablet, but for a computer.

I also find it hilarious that they used like a quarter of the space inside for the speakers. :lol: Apparently they figured it didn't need more battery life.

It's great actually, must be one of the best mobile speakers out there. Also the thing is huge but it's as thin as an iPad Air 2 so it's a weird beast, to me it feels like holding an interactive newspaper.

You actually bought one?
 
Apple's marketing is ruthless, every time I see the iPad pro I find my eyes glazing over and my lips starting to mouth 'must have ipad pro'. Then I realised that apple's dropped the word 'THE' again (calling it ipad pro not The ipod pro) and my blood boils and I decide never to purchase a product of theirs again.
 
I saw one being used at a local Coffee Bean. F-ing huge!

I get Apple can dictate prices and people will buy their iPhones, just because, but with tables sales for the whole market slowing down they should may want to reconsider it.
 
Jobs isn't around so anything goes.

Really, it seems like he had a much slower, simpler, and more thought out process when he marketed to the public.
 
I like it in a strange way. The fact that it has that amazing screen and battery life and it's so thin is incredible! But for practicality I'd get a mini 4.
 
I understand that the iPad Pro has the ability to transfer data at USB 3.0 speeds. It is expected that Apple will come out with a USB-C to Lighting cable capable of that data speeds.

This same cable is spec'd to deliver power surpassing 12W thus cutting charging time from over 4 hours.

Has anyone tried charging their iPads using a 3rd party USB-C to Lighting cable and Apple's 29W USB-C wall charger? I suspect it has the potential to reduce charging time to less than 2 hours.
