Every tech geek would have expected this. iPad Pro is the largest and most powerful tablet we have ever seen from Apple. Indeed, the 10.2- or 12.9-inch Liquid Retina display is a real beauty, while the spectacular A12X Bionic processor is a technical marvel, seamlessly crunching through any task you throw at it.
Engineered with a Face ID unlock system, iPad Pro keeps your sensitive personal information safe and secure. Apple also added a new woofer and tweeter pair in every corner to deliver a wider stereo sound for high fidelity, cinematic audio experience.
