iPad Pro 2018: Price, specifications and features | Apple Launch Event By The Economic Times

Today we're announcing an all new iPad Pro, it's kind of it's going to push what you can do on iPad or on any computer even further, and here it is new iPad Pro we have an LCD that stretches from edge to edge and top to bottom. Now we achieve this design by rounding. The corners of the display using the same pixel, masking and anti-aliasing technology that we introduced in the iPhone 10 are just like in the 10r. We call it a liquid Retina display. This is the same. Take anywhere sighs you loved in the 10.5 inch design, but now with an 11-inch display, and it has a quarter million more pixels, and this is the new twelve point. Nine-inch iPad Pro it is dramatically smaller.

In fact, it's now almost exactly the same size as an eight and a half by 11 pieces of paper, and it's not just smaller. It's also thinner. These new iPad pros are just five point: nine millimeters thin in the case of the twelve point, nine inches, that's nearly fifteen percent thinner than before. None on iPhone ten face, ID set the bar for intuitive seamless and secure authentication, but it's even better on the iPad Pro on iPad Pro face. I'd delivers facial authentication that is more secure than any tablet or any computer.

With a simple glance, you can unlock your iPad, you can log in to your favorite apps and, of course you can even pay for something with Apple Pay now face. I'd is enabled by the true depth camera which is tucked away into this thin bezel. It uses depth technology to deliver greater security and accuracy than any 2d face: scanner, portrait, landscape attached to a keyboard and no matter how you use these new iPad pros. They are always right-side up now. With support for face ID, you might have noticed, there's no longer a home button.

Well now home button means that all those familiar gestures from the iPhone 10 now come to the iPad. So, for instance, you can swipe down from the upper right hand, corner to get to control center. You access the dock by swiping up from the bottom. If you continue swiping up and pause, you get to the app switcher, and you can even swipe along the bottom edge to quickly switch between your most recently used apps. You can work with two apps at once using split view.

You just drag an app up from the dock to the side, and then you can easily drag and drop between them and slide over get you a quick view to another app like when you need to quickly respond to a message: there's always plenty of room to get what you need done. This new iPad experience is all about making the most of these large displays, with space for creativity and to work with multiple apps at once, and all that is possible because of what we put under the hood, because these new iPad Pro's are powered by the all-new, a 12x Bionic, and this thing is a monster just like the a12 in our latest phones. It's built on our latest seven nanometer technology, no other tablet, laptop or even desktop- has been able to make this leap forward. The 12x features in eight core CPU with for performance cores and for high efficiency cores and with our latest generation performance controller. Multi-Threaded workloads can now leverage all eight of those cores simultaneously.

The results of all these are pretty amazing. Single core performance is up by 35 percent compared to last year's already really fast, iPad pros, with the increase in core count and gains in efficiency. Multi-Core workloads are now up to 90 percent faster. This is a huge step forward and here's another way to think about it. These iPad pros are faster than 92 percent of all the portable PCs sold in the last 12 months, including the most popular core i7 models from the top manufacturers.

Now, of course, our X chips have also always been about big graphics, and these new iPad pros do not disappoint the 12 X Bionic has an all new Apple Design 7 core GPU that delivers two times the performance of the previous generation, and this is great compared to our first generation iPad, the graphics in these new iPad Pro's is now 1,000 times faster and is not in fact like all of our iPads. It delivers amazing all-day battery life, and our chip team has done so much more with a 12 X, dedicated Hardware blocks, deliver high performance and high efficiency in everyday tasks like capturing images and shooting video. There's simply nothing like this. In other traditional PC chipsets, and this year we have a new, fast storage controller on the 12 X which enables up to one terabyte in storage capacity. The high performance computer deserves a high performance connector, and so in these new iPad Pro's we're moving to USB see this brings up.

This brings a whole new set of capabilities to the iPad pros like connecting to accessories that change, how you use your iPad cameras, musical instruments or even docks, or connecting to high-resolution external displays up to 5k, and also for the first time on these iPad Pro's. We now support charging out over USB-C, so you can even charge your iPhone when you're on the go and with these new iPad pros, the second-generation pencil has been completely redesigned. The new Apple Pencil attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro it automatically pairs and starts charging wirelessly, because it's always charging it's always ready to go the moment you need it. Tapping the screen with the Apple Pencil will wake the iPad Pro and lunch instantly into the Notes app and this year there's a whole new way of interacting with the Apple Pencil, just tap twice on it to switch modes in notes, you can switch between your current tool and the eraser and in other apps, this behavior will be customizable, which puts even more control into our users hands. Also, this year we have a new smart keyboard folio.

It continues to deliver a great typing experience in a thin and light design with no pairing charging or batteries required, and it's even simpler to use it magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro, and it protects both the front in the back. It has a screen angle that is great in your lap and another that's great at your desk. These new iPad pros are packed with our most advanced technology. There's the new all screen design with liquid Retina display advanced face ID, the 12 X Bionic chip, delivering incredible pro level performance for speaker, audio and this time with woofer and tweeter pairs in each corner. They sound amazing, and they offer wide stereo output, gigabit class, LTE and ECM technology and our cellular models for great connectivity wherever you go, and so many more features that make this our very best iPad the new iPad Pro such a huge leap forward for iPad and for computers.

Now, of course, like all of our products, every iPad Pro is made in ways that are good for both our customers and for the environment and in fact, the excess aluminum that was created in the process of making these iPad Pro enclosures is recycled back into the material that's used in the MacBook Air and the Mac Mini, the 11-inch iPad Pro is offered in these four storage options, and it starts at $7.99, and there is nothing else out there that comes close to this combination of performance and portability. The 12 point 9-inch, iPad Pro is offered in these same storage options, and it starts at $9.99 and of course, both models are available in LTE configurations as well.
