Tech giant Apple recently unveiled the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro. The next generation tablet will stand as Apple's flagship device in the tablet market and will support Apple Pencil, True Tone display and the very powerful A9X processor. Pricing for the tablet will start at $599.
The new iPad Pro is considered as a major upgrade for Apple's flagship device. It also highlights one of Cupertino's newest technologies dubbed only as True Tone display which features two new four channel ambient light sensor that is capable of measuring both color temperature and brightness. The feature allows it to automatically adjust the display depending on the environment which results in a "paper-white" viewing experience.
The display panel of the new iPad Pro is also 40 percent less reflective and 25 percent brighter than the iPad Air 2. In terms of color reproduction, Apple is once again pushing the boundaries as the new iPad Pro sports the same color gamut as the iMac with Retina 5K display.
The 6.1-millimiter thin chassis of the new iPad houses the powerful A9X 64-bit chip which could easily rival those that are integrated into some high-end laptops. The chipset also packs that the same graphics processing unit just like in the iPad Pro, which Apple promises can deliver console-like graphics and with top class battery saving techniques.
The integration of the Apple Pencil is not entirely a big surprise as rumors about it have been brewing all over the tech community several months before the official announcement of the device. Along with Apple Pencil, the new iPad Pro will also support Smart Keyboard which is specially designed for the 9.7-inch form factor of the iPad Pro. According to Vine Report, the Smart Keyboard can be connected to the tablet via a Smart Connector.
In terms of communication specs, the iPad Pro comes with a standard 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter with MIMO technology. The tablet also comes in several flavors in terms of its cellular versions like LTE Advanced networks which Apple claims is up to 50 percent faster compared to standard LTE bands.
The iPad Pro sports a 12-megapixel rear facing camera that can shoot 4K videos. The rear camera also supports True Tone flash.
The iPad Pro costs $599 for the 32GB model while the 128GB model will run up to $749. Apple will also release a 256GB model for $899, according to Apple Insider.
