The iPad Pro packs in\u00a0plenty of features and tons of power, but the focus seems to be on multitasking using all of that screen real estate.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Tim Cook called it the most capable iPad ever created, and packs a 12.9-inch display with a 2732 x 2048 pixel resolution. That\u2019s 5.6 million pixels total. Of course, it runs iOS 9 with its new multitasking features.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood you\u2019ll find an A9X processor. Apple says it\u2019s\u00a01.8x faster than the A8X chip included in the iPad Air 2. It\u2019s a 64-bit processor with twice the memory bandwidth, offering what the company claims is desktop class performance better than 80 percent of the PC<\/p>\n<p>It offers a 10-hour battery life. Apple\u2019s also included four speakers for a great audio experience. The entire thing is 6.9mm thin and weighs just 1.57 pounds. It\u2019s set to launch in November.<\/p>\n<p>The iPad Pro comes in space gray, gold and silver. It starts at $799 for a Wi-Fi only 32GB model. You can upgrade to 128GB for $949, and add cellular on top of that for a whopping $1079.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is also offering a stylus for the device, called the Apple Pencil for an extra $99. The new accessory comes packed with sensors that can tell how hard or soft you\u2019re pushing down, and the company says it works better than any third-party stylus. It even works simultaneously with your finger. The built-in battery lasts for \u201chours of use,\u201d and it features a built-in Lightning connector to plug directly into the iPad Pro.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, there\u2019s also a specially designed keyboard-kickstand attachment for the new tablet. It\u2019s a little pricy though at $169.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple just announced the iPad Pro, its massive iPad that has been rumored for more than a year now.
