Most impressively the iPad Pro features a 2732 by 2048 pixels screen – the highest ever in an iOS device – along with an extremely powerful A9X chip, which is again the most powerful in any mobile Apple machine. Apple has made an official announcement that the iPad Pro tablets will be available on stores starting this week. In addition, the 128GB Wi-Fi only model is priced at $949 while the 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model can be yours for $1,709. Apple Pencil and Apple’s new Smart Keyboard, also available to order on Wednesday.

After much fanfare and hopes of reigniting tablet sales, Apple (AAPL – Get Report) announced the iPad Pro is slated to be available to purchase later this week. The tablet sports a 12.9-inch display screen which is about three inches larger compared to the iPad Air 2.

To go with the iPad Pro, there’s a Surface-like Smart Keyboard which doubles as a case, and a stylus called the Apple Pencil.

Apple also said it redesigned the touch subsystem of the iPad Pro’s Multi-Touch display specifically for the Apple Pencil to “dramatically reduce latency and deliver incredible accuracy for activities like fine art illustration and detailed 3D design”. As things stand, that estimate applies to all storage options in all colors – but we expect shipping dates to start slipping soon.

The new device also comes with an optional £139 Apple Smart Keyboard, a full-sized keyboard that is created to be easily transportable and easily connected. “We’ve seen that with Samsung with their Note 10 devices”. The most expensive SKU, coming in at $1,049, includes 128GB of storage and LTE connectivity. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
