Apple will begin the selling of iPad Pro on Nov. 11 both online and in stores.
Along with the iPad Pro, the Cupertino-based company will also sell the device’s two big accessories: a Smart Keyboard and a stylus, the Apple Pencil. Apple is gearing up to sell its 12.9-inch tablet on Veterans Day. There is not confirmation if the company will open up preorders a week early, like it did for the latest iPhones and Apple TVs.
As for the accessories, the Apple Pencil will require its own special adapter to charge using a standard Lightning cable. It is certainly possible Apple might slip the adapter into an iPad Pro bundle as a free accessory.
The iPad Pro starts at $799 for the 32GB Wi-Fi model, then the 128GB Wi-Fi model costs $94, and tops out at $1079 for an 128GB version with both Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity. The Apple Pencil, which is Apple’s version of a pressure-sensitive stylus, and the Smart Keyboard will be sold separately, for $99 and $169, respectively, PCMag reported.
iPad Pro is not a small, cozy device that can be used anywhere the user wants. It does not have real multi-window desktop apps like the Surface Pro 3 does. It has a 2732 x 2048 screen that is suitable for artists, architects, educators, and CAD designers.
The iPad Pro will run under the iOS 9 and has multitasking features, and it could lead to increased sales of the company’s tablet line. Apple’s support staff is scheduled to complete iPad Pro training by Nov. 6, less than a week before the official launch of the device and the accessories, according to 9toMac.
