Market research firm IDC categorizes these devices as “detachables”.

The standout app experiences in iPad pro include News, Notes and Maps.

Those circumstances mean there are high expectations for the new iPad Pro.

Tim Cook’s harsh word for Surface Book comes on the heels of Apple’s unveiling of its iPad Pro that takes place this week. Not only can one use the full suite of apps on Windows devices, but on most iOS devices as well with no compromise. During that period, Apple reported sales of 9.9 million iPads, a 20% decline from the 12.3 million iPads it sold a year ago. And while Microsoft and Apple are hogging the media spotlight, others companies could determine how widespread the technology becomes.

Both of Logitech’s new Logi iPad Pro products offer “thing and light front and back protection” with the use of tightly-woven premium fabric that resists accidental bumps and scratches.

So, with the consumer tablet market stagnant, Apple has turned to the business and professional market. But the “Pro” factor is somewhat diminished by the fact that it, uh, doesn’t come with a keyboard.

Whether they ever would replace desktops and laptops, he declined to make a prediction.

Though, a California based tech giant also announced that after hitting the stores, the Apple’s new iPad Pro have been made available on the online platforms too.
