Another one we saw coming, say hello to the smaller iPad Pro joining the iPad family. Yes, a 9.7inch iPad Pro is the same size as the standard iPad. It arrives w/ a new bells & whistles not seen on previous iPads.
The new iPad Pro will offer a new True Tone Display that offers 40% less reflective than the iPad Air. It also measures color temperature of ambient light & adjust the display to match and takes advantage of the new Blue light reduction feature of iOS 9.3. Along w/ that, you still have the A9X CPU, 12-core CPU, 12MP iSight camera w/ 2-ton flash, 5MP FaceTime camera, the same stereo 4-speaker system, it will have its own smaller Smart Keyboard and will be compatible w/ the Pencil stylus.
The 9.7inch iPad Pro pricing will start at $599 for a 32GB storage, $699 for a 128GB of storage, and for the 1st-time ever: $799 for 256GB storage. So this could give you iPhone users hope for a 256GB this year or next. Pre-orders kick off on March 24th and goes on sale March 31st.
