Apple launches the New iPad Pro

Apple has unveiled its latest addition to the iPad tablet lineup during a special press event in San Francisco this morning. Tim cook says - We can do things on the iPad you can't do on a notebook. Why make an iPad with a bigger display? It's a magical piece of glass you hold in your hands. Touch the books we read, the documents we create. It can do things a smartphone can't do because it doesn't need to fit in your pocket.

More pixels than 15" MacBook Pro with Retina. 2732 x 2048 pixels. 5.6 million pixels.Width of the iPad pro is the same as the height of the iPad Air. Take that height, make a 4:3 ratio, and you have an iPad big enough to run full iPad Air apps with more room side by side. So how big is the screen? 12.9-inches diagonal.

Four-speaker audio system, one at each corner. Automatically balances left and right, depending on how you hold the iPad. Three times the volume of iPad Air 2. 10-hour battery life.
