Apple unveiled the iPad Pro, along with the remodeled Apple TV and the new iPhone, in September. Most recently, the Cupertino tech giant announced that the iPad Pro, along with its accessories, will hit its online store on Nov. 11.
According to Mac World, Apple said that iPad Pro will hit its physical Apple Store "later this week," which usually means Friday.
Apple Marketing Chief Phil Schiller released a press release stating, "The early response to iPad Pro from app developers and our customers has been incredible, and we're excited to get iPad Pro into the hands of customers around the world this week."
The iPad Pro is available in three-tiered pricing system based on its storage capacity and connectivity options. Pricing starts at $799 for the 32GB model with Wi-Fi, $949 for the 128GB model with Wi-Fi and $1,079 for the 128GB model with Wi-Fi and cellular data connectivity.
Peripherals such as the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard will be released alongside the iPad Pro once it is available. Apple announced that it also plans to sell silicone cases for $79 and Smart Covers for $59.
Aside from storage and connectivity options, all the iPad Pro models have relatively similar specs. The tablet sports a 12.9-inch display screen which is about three inches larger compared to the iPad Air 2. The display has a resolution of 2048 x 2732 and is protected by a scratch resistant glass with oleophobic and antireflective coating.
The iPad Pro has an A9X chipset and 4GB of RAM. Out of the box, it runs on the iOS 9 operating system, but Apple said that it can be upgraded to the latest iOS 9.0.2. The latest iOS version allows that tablet to support split-screen mode, among its many features.
