“Today we have the biggest news in iPad since the iPad,”~ Apple CEO Tim Cook. He meant it. iPad Pro the biggest iPad yet. It is like two iPad Air 2s put together in the size of an iPad one.
The iPad Pro will start at $799 for a 32GB WiFi model. The 128GB WiFi model will cost $949 and the wh LTE 128GB model costs $1,079. Yes, that is more than a 13 inch MacAir. I understand Apple products come in at a premium but when you add the price of the non included new accessories, its a bit much. The thing that everyone will be talking about is how this was not Steve Job’s Apple anymore. Not only was Microsoft and Adobe there but we also got a stylus.
#AppleEvent Hell has frozen over #SteveJobs hated them but @micosoft & @Adobe are giving presentations on an #iPadPro

“It’s like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it.”Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder
The Apple stylus is called the Pencil. It is able to detect position, force and tilt. Only time will tell if it works well for drawing, annotating and other stuff pens are used for. It charges from the iPad’s Lightning port. Apple also welcomed the world to Smart Keyboard for $169. The keyboard is also a case for the iPad Pro. So basically it turns your iPad Pro into a Surface Pro. Apple was joined onstage by Microsoft & Adobe. Oh, yeah the iPad Pro also gives you 10 hours of battery life.
