History

Announced on September 9, 2015, the iPad Pro was released on November 11, 2015. Three configurations are available: Wi-Fi only models with 32 GB or 128 GB of storage space and a 128 GB model with cellular connectivity. New features include a Smart Connector for a keyboard and four stereo speakers positioned in pairs on the top and bottom of the device. The screen is a 12.9-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2732 by 2048 at 264 pixels per inch and features a variable refresh rate. There are two accessories made specifically for iPad Pro: a detachable keyboard and a stylus, Apple Pencil, both sold separately. On March 21, 2016, a new 256 GB storage option was added.

Trivia

• The 12.9-inch iPad Pro, presented in September 2015, was the first iPad to introduce the Smart Connector, a revolutionary magnetic port that enabled direct keyboard connection without batteries or Bluetooth. • The device was equipped with four stereo speakers strategically positioned at the upper and lower corners, offering a completely new surround audio experience in the tablet world. • The Apple Pencil, the stylus specifically designed for iPad Pro, represented an important return by Apple to the stylus market, marking a strategic change of direction after years of skepticism toward digital pens.
