Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard accessories in short supply following iPad Pro launch
The cost of the new iPad Pro tablet starts at $799 for the Wi-Fi-only model with 32GB of onboard storage. While, the tab Desktop-class Apps showcases Microsoft’s office suite, AutoCAD 360, Pixelmatr, OmniFocus 2, Adobe Photoshop skills, Complete Anatomy and many more.

First, Apple needs to find a way to lower the price of the iPad Pro, Bouchard said.
Apple began sales of its 12.9-inch iPad Pro Thursday, but if you want the necessary Smart Keyboard and Pencil stylus, you’ll have to wait at least a month. After all, both are selling points for the Pro – even as I admit that the Pencil is probably more so than the Smart Keyboard.
Apple also said it redesigned the touch subsystem of the iPad Pro’s Multi-Touch display specifically for the Apple Pencil to “dramatically reduce latency and deliver incredible accuracy for activities like fine art illustration and detailed 3D design”. With the new size and a keyboard setup, the iPad Pro mimics a laptop when you have it propped up on a desk or table.
Apple acknowledges this with the new Smart connector that can power a keyboard accessory.
According to Yibada, many people expected Apple to announce the iPad Air 3 during the company’s annual conference held earlier this year on September 9, but when the event came and went with nary a mention of the tablet, many were left wondering why there was no news.
