IPad Pro For Sale in AT&T Stores

However, in specs and use, and judging by the great marketing Tim Cook has given the device, the new iPad Pro has the potential to give Apple significant revenue.

The iPad Pro is unquestionably more PC-like than any touchscreen device Apple has made before. The reality turned out difference: the Apple Watch only uses an optical heart rate sensor (that is admittedly extremely well polished and accurate), but it lacks the multiple sensors you can find on devices like the Microsoft Band 2.

I used the iPad Pro briefly at Apple’s big launch event back in September.

Cook clearly has high hopes for the iPad Pro, but Apple is also focused on the future for Apple Watch.

He commented: “I think if you’re looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore?”. It promises a battery life of 10 hours.

Meanwhile, on the subject of the iPad and its slowing sales, Cook acknowledged that this was driven in part by its larger iPhone devices, but he said he was happy with this trade-off. While Apple’s mobile and desktop software are now more capable of communicating with one another, the experiences are still entirely different.

A 12.9-inch Retina display that is an absolute cracker of a screen, but there’s a lot more to the iPad Pro than just the display. He added that it doesn’t bother him if consumers move to iPads and smartphones instead of Macs or MacBooks, because “as long as we cannibalize [ourselves], it’s fine”.

The iPad Pro release date is nearly here and you’ll be able to pre-order Apple’s new 12-inch tablet starting tomorrow.

But the iPad Pro is actually more limited than the Surface. The iPad Pro is also notable as being the first model to come with its own stylus and keyboard which will be sold separately.

Criticising the kind of powers enabled by the new Investigatory Powers Bill, Mr Cook said that the Government’s proposals could allow for breaches of privacy and security, and said that he was “optimistic” that pressure could lead the Government to change its course.
