Apple had launched their new iPad Pro last year, which was aimed at people who could actually carry in just a tablet to work, and perform all their tasks just on it. This iPad saw a mixed reaction from the users, and that’s why Apple launched their new iPad Pro, but with a smaller size this time.

The all new iPad Pro packs a 9.7-inch display with True Tone Display and Night Shift. The iPad is powered by the 64-bit Apple A9 chip. The storage on the device is going to be offered in either 32GB, 128GB or 256GB. Yes, finally we have an iPad with 256GB storage.
The iPad Pro also packs a decent camera with 12-megapixels on the rear and 5-megapixels on the front. The rear camera is also accompanied by a true tone LED Flash whereas the front camera is accompanied by the same Retina Flash as the iPhone SE. The camera pictures taken with this iPad looked really interesting in terms of the colour and clarity. The iPad also allows you to shoot videos in 4K.
The iPad Pro also packs a TouchID fingerprint sensor in the home button on the front. You can use that fingerprint sensor to unlock the device, or pay using Apple Pay, which is supported on this iPad.
It will be available in the WiFi variant as well as the WiFi + Cellular variant, just like the parent iPad Pro. The colors on the this iPad will also be similar to the ones on the iPhone SE. It will be available in Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and Space Gray.
The iPad Pro also features always listening Siri, and was launched along with a new keyboard that is made for the new iPad Pro with a smaller size. It also works with the Apple Pencil, that Apple claimed to be its best innovation ever.
