What you need to know about the iPad Pro

It has been over 5 years since the first iPad hit the market, demonstrating Apple’s seemingly endless ability to build state-of-the-art, consumer-gobbling products. The iPad was a huge success, selling well over 2 million units in its first quarter. From there it’s gone onto become one of the widest sold consumer products in the world, and in true Apple style, this means the continued production of newer models to sell sell sell. They have now introduced their newest addition to the iPad generation, the iPad Pro.

With a whopping 12.9-inch display, the hope is that this iPad can be used as an active tool in business circles, from using design software to a split-screen mode for efficient work speed. Seeing a 19% drop in iPad sales between October and June, many believe this iPad will reinvigorate worldwide sales.

The iPad Pro is the first of its kind for another reason too: it comes with a host of accessories to make the experience a more pleasurable, used-friendly one. With a detachable keyboard, which is utilised through the iPad’s ‘smart connectors,’ it will give the feeling of working on a notebook or laptop. The other ingenious addition is the Apple Pencil, the most technologically advanced stylus on the market. With sensors in the tip of the stylus, it has been designed to mimic the effect of using real pencil and paper, perfect for all designers.

With a decent 10-hour battery life, you’ll be able to get your hands on the iPad Pro when it goes on sale in November. And for the all-important prices, the basic iPad will start at an astronomical £520, quickly rising to over £700 for a top of the range model. However, as with most Apple products, the price is rarely a deterrent and the iPad Pro is sure to fly off the shelves.
