Apple Announces New 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro Models With Advanced Displays

[DNichter]

Ordered my 256GB 10.5 in Black. Looking forward to selling my MacBook and going iOS only for my computing needs. 7 Plus and 10.5 Pro.

I don't believe Amazon sells iPads at all, other vendors sell them in the Amazon store and some of them are shipped by Amazon. I'm not sure if Amazon credit will work toward them or not.

I've been waiting for the 12.9" Pro 2, and I think it looks/sounds great. I wasn't expecting it right now so I don't have money saved up for it yet. I'll have to decide if I'm ready to order it now or have to wait until probably this fall once all the pre-orders get delivery backed up.

No 3D Touch?

I think 3D Touch is freakishly difficult to implement on an iPad.

 

[Royksöpp]

10.5 Inch 256GB Black, you will be mine.

 

[psac]

As expected, no Mini Pro. Bummer.

 

[rcorai]

Will my current Smart Keyboard be compatible with the new iPad Pro 10.5?

what a steal!

I mean Apple just stole your money man. That's really overpriced. I'd throw you a couple more hundys and you'd have a macbook.

 

[ThaRuler]

So how do you stop iPad lagging sales? Yes, you guessed it. By raising the price of course!! Good job Tim.

 

[jdillings]

Is the 10.5 the same weight as the iPad Pro 9.7 or heavier? If heavier, by how much?

 

[iMacmatician]

The iPad Pro 10.5" resolution doesn't look like 2732x2048 to me.

(Image from AnandTech.)

9.7" and 12.9" keyboard comparison:

The resolution looks like 2224x1668.

EDIT: Apple's specifications page says 2224x1668 at 264 PPI.

Considering I already have a MBP and I use my iPad far more frequently. I would say defenitely not. I've been itching for an Apple Pencil. I love my Air 2, but that's going to my mom once this baby comes in.

 

[itsmilo]

is there a list yet to know what the Air 2 can/cannot do??? i need to know if i need to buy a new iPad for those iOS 11 features LOL

 

[UltimaKilo]

This is probably the best hardware update of the day. Let's hope this with iOS11 will spark iPad sales. Great time to pick up an iPad Pro.

Man, you on that like white on rice!

 

[MikeFromTexas]

I think I may pick up one of these. I have been nursing along my iPad 3 for a number of years and it is somewhat slow and flaky now, so I have been waiting to see the 10.5, and what I see I mostly like! Too bad the iOS 11 won't be here for a few months, but that is not a deal breaker.

Now I have to apply my usual Apple procedure, which is to NOT buy new stuff for at least two weeks after it is being delivered to the public, to avoid any initial issues.

 

[davidwes]

So, after tax a new 10.5 in the medium storage capacity plus pen and Applecare is over $1000.

I think I really want to use the pen though, so I'm eager to hear about sales on the 9.7 pro now that Apple no longer sells it.

 

[Tommys81]

Does amazon sell iPads at launch? I have a big credit and this would be a good way to burn that up.

I think so but please don't quote me on that. I usually get launch day products at the Apple Store or Best Buy

 

[EmaDaCuz]

Tempted, for once. I like the hardware, but I am finally seeing some long-due ad hoc features in iOS. Now, if they only release a stripped down version of Logic...

 

[agsystems]

Yes, good job because with the 9.7 PROD gone, this will increase ASP and gross margins which make Tim very happy.

 

[BMcCoy]

I was all set to buy the new 10.5" iPad... and then I saw the ugly protruding rear camera.
*sigh*
Empty shopping basket.....

 

[b0nd18t]

$650 is too much for a personal use iPad. I'll probably stick with my iPad Air 2 until it dies because it was the last decent spec for price model.

 

[mark-in-mk]

It looks great, I'd be strongly considering one for certain if I was in the market. However I am sat here, browsing this site just fine on my Air Mk1 so guess I'm not.

Edit: Just seen UK prices!!!

Why would I buy this over an iPhone Plus?
