Apple’s Monstrous iPad Pro Arriving Just After Halloween, Say Gossipers
There were a lot of discussions and rumors about the original MacBook Air when it was introduced to the market and furthermore, it was more of a novel concept and quite a fresh take on the new mini-book idea.
The iPad Pro certainly looks like a compelling product, but we’ll hold our reservations until we have plenty of time with one in November.
It’s Japanese blog Mac Otakara that makes the claim.
The tablet is reported to be released with the Apple Pencil, the first ever stylus created by Apple, along with the Smart Keyboard.
Pricing of the iPad Pro starts at $799 for the 32GB WiFi-only variant, while you will have to shell out $949 for the 128GB variant.
These prerelease visits to Disney and Pixar (both companies with very close ties to Apple and Steve Jobs), with the heavy social media presence, are obviously meant to be part of the company’s overall marketing push for the new tablet.
Apple has already shipped the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Its general layout, its material, edging and so on all match. Furthermore, it is practically impossible to get the studio to admit the release date of any hardware piece before they have actually planned to do so. But there are a few key differences to the design.
A video by Jeff Ranjo showed that the iPad Pro had a tooth-like texture to simulate real traditional drawing. A proprietary new connector replaces the Bluetooth connectivity on Apple’s previous wireless keyboards for iPad. Apple calls it the Smart Connector, fairly straightforwardly. Although there are still at least three weeks to wait, given the specs of the device, it should be worth the waiting.

Until they say for sure that it is coming on a specific date, there’s still no good way to pin down the accuracy of these rumors that are trickling out. The iPad Pro features a 12.9-inch Retina display with 5.6 million pixels.
Whether Apple’s limited offerings are because it believes an iPad aimed at the workplace needs more storage (possibly) or if it wants to drive buyers to the most expensive models (more likely) is irrelevant to the buyer.
The iPad Pro offers 78 percent more screen space than the iPad Air 2.
