It is currently available in two screen sizes, 10.5 - inch ( 27 cm ) and 12.9 - inch ( 33 cm ), each with three options for internal storage capacities : 64, 256, or 512 GB ; the 512 GB configuration making iPad Pro the first iOS device to offer that storage size. The first iPad Pro, the 12.9 - inch version, was announced on September 9, 2015, and released on November 11, 2015. It is larger than all previous iPad models and the first iPad tablet to feature LPDDR4 RAM. The 12.9 - inch tablet was later followed by the smaller 9.7 - inch version, which was announced on March 21, 2016, and released on March 31 that same year. On June 5, 2017, a second generation of iPad Pro was announced, which features A10X Fusion processors, with basic storage of 64 GB, and optional 512 GB. Upgraded displays include a new 10.5 - inch version to replace the 9.7 - inch model, while the 12.9 - inch version was refreshed. Following this announcement, the first generation iPad Pros, both 9.7 and 12.9 inch, were discontinued.

It was released on November 11, 2015 with gold, silver, and space gray color options. Prices ranging from US $799.99 to $1,229.99 based on storage size and cellular connectivity. On March 21, 2016, the 9.7 inch version of the iPad Pro was announced at an Apple keynote with an additional rose gold color option. The 9.7 inch version also introduced the ability to choose base 32GB Model with Cellular + WiFi option. ( Previously, Cellular + WiFi option was only available on 128GB iPad Pro models. ) The 9.7 inch model is priced from $599 to $1,129 depending on the configuration. It was released on March 31, 2016. The 9.7 - inch iPad Pro, when compared to the iPad Air 2, features a faster CPU, a better camera, and is the first iPad to feature True Tone Flash and Retina Flash. It also had the highest storage for an iPad at the time with a 256 GB storage option and has a True Tone display, which allows the LCD to adapt to ambient lighting to change its color and intensity in different environments. Both iPad Pro models include the A9X chip and the Apple M9 motion co-processor. The 9.7 inch model, however, has a slightly underclocked CPU ( 2.16 GHz compared to 2.26 GHz on the 12.9 inch model ) and only 2 GB of RAM. A number of features are carried over from the standard iPad, such as Touch ID and the Retina Display. New features include a smart connector for a keyboard and four stereo speakers located in pairs on top and bottom of the device. The 12.9 inch model has a 2732 - by - 2048 Retina Display at 264 pixels per inch, and the 9.7 inch model has a 2048 - by - 1536 Retina Display at 264 pixels per inch and features a variable refresh rate, a first for Apple. The 12.9 inch version of the iPad Pro is the first iPad to include 4 GB of RAM. A customised 12.9 inch iPad Pro was also designed by Jony Ive and submitted to the Time for Design auction. The special edition iPad Pro has an `` Edition 1 of 1 '' label engraved on its back and comes with a custom yellow - gold anodised finish, a blue leather Smart Cover and an orange leather Apple Pencil case cover, all of which are not sold by Apple elsewhere. Second generation The second generation of iPad Pro was announced on June 5, 2017 alongside iOS 11 at the 2017 WWDC. The second - generation iPad Pro models, at 10.5 - inch and 12.9 - inch, have an A10X hexa - core CPU and with a 12 - core GPU, supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision content ( with iOS 11 or later ) with a 120 Hz refresh rate and their True Tone display is 50 percent brighter than the earlier models ; both sizes also have a 12 - megapixel rear - facing camera with quad - LED True - Tone flash and a 7 - megapixel front - facing camera with Retina Flash. They have USB - C connection speeds using Lightning cables, with USB - C fast - charge support. The second generation iPad Pro has the highest storage capacity of iOS devices, up to 512 GB. Accessories There are four accessories made specifically for iPad Pro, all of which are sold separately : a `` smart '' screen cover ; an attachable keyboard, Smart Keyboard ; an active bluetooth tracking stylus, Apple Pencil ; and a form - fitted silicone case that is compatible with the Smart Keyboard. Smart Keyboard Smart Keyboard docks with iPad Pro using the Smart Connector, a magnetic connection that provides data transfer and power. Smart Keyboard, which doubles as a kickstand, is comparable to that of the competing Microsoft Surface Pro. The design of the Smart Keyboard is similar to the design of the Smart Cover accessory. Apple Pencil Main article : Apple Pencil IPad Pro and Apple Pencil ( in boxes ) Apple Pencil is a precision stylus exclusive to the iPad Pro and the iPad 2018. The accessory is rechargeable via the Lightning port on the tablet itself. iPad Pro introduces a new display with increased responsiveness and precision over previous iPad displays with Apple Pencil support added. During the keynote, Apple demonstrated drawing, managing publication layout, and document annotation. Reception General reviews The iPad Pro 's 9.7 - inch version set a record among all currently released tablets tested in color accuracy, screen reflectance, peak brightness, contrast rating in high ambient light, and smallest color variation. However, the iPad Pro 12.9 - inch version tested to having better contrast ratio in the dark. Despite Apple advertising the tablets as PC replacements, most reviewers noted that it still can not replace a laptop running the Microsoft Windows or macOS desktop operating systems. One critic pointed out in a comparative review with the competing Surface Pro that `` from a flexibility perspective, there is no denying the Windows 10 advantage for consumers, students, and business users '' over iOS. First generation reviews Scott Stein from CNET praised the faster processor and new accessories available. However, he criticized the cost of both the unit and its accessories, while noting its slightly slower processor with less RAM compared to the larger 12.9 - inch model. Matt Swider from TechRadar complimented the easy handling, large 256GB configuration and True Tone display, but was upset about the high starting price. Gareth Beavis gave a positive review, commending the expansive screen and audio quality but stated that the battery life could be made longer. Second generation reviews Max Parker from TrustedReviews and Gareth Beavis from TechRadar both praised the 10.5 - inch model 's high - quality audio and performance, though both critics noted that it was expensive. Reviewing the 12.9 inch second - generation iPad Pro, Lauren Goode of The Verge complimented the quality camera, A10X processor and large screen size but said that the device could have been cheaper.
