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.

Apple's annual fall iPhone event will likely be held on Wednesday, September 9.

Here's what we can expect at Apple's Sept. 9 product event:

• iPhone 6S and 6S Plus
• iPad Pro
• A New Apple TV

Apple has officially announced that it will be holding a brand new event on Wednesday, September 9.

According to a new report from BuzzFeed’s John Paczkowski, Apple will hold its annual fall iPhone event on September 9th. The report, citing “sources familiar with Apple’s plans,” claims that Apple is targeting the week of September 7th for the event, with Wednesday the 9th being the frontrunner right now.

At the event, Apple will unveil the iPhone 6s, which we unveiled exclusive details on earlier this summer. The iPhone 6s is expected to be largely similar to the iPhone 6, but with a pressure-sensitive Force Touch display and improved wireless connectivity. Apple is also expected to introduce its new Apple TV unit at the event with a redesigned interface, new remote, and support for an App Store. Apple’s web TV service, however, is not currently expected to be showcased at the September 9th event.

As far as iPads go, BuzzFeed says that Apple is aiming to show of new iPads at the event, as well. This contradicts the company’s usual move of holding a separate event in October to unveil refreshed iPads. The iPad Pro is still a “wildcard” for the event, however.

Last year, Apple held its fall iPhone event on September 9th, as well, with Paczkowski correctly reporting the date well in advance of an official announcement. Invites to the September 9th event should be sent to journalists roughly a week and a half before the date.
