The editors didn't like
Smart Keyboard is more cramped
Which makes typing more frustrating
Aside from Apple Pencil support
It doesn't offer a ton of features that the now-cheaper iPad Air 2 doesn't also offer
IOS is still a limiting operating system in a lot of ways
And usi
Optional keyboard can feel a bit cramped
None noted in reviews
NFC only for Apple Pay
Power adapter is too weak and gets hot under load
Storage of the 32 GB version is slower
No quick-charge
Long loading times
High price
Starting price of $599 may be too steep for some
RAM stays at 2 gigabytes
Matching iPad Air 2
Lightning port is USB 2
Only 12.9-inch model has faster USB 3
Ugh
The camera bump
Where to buy
Before you buy a new iPad Pro
See AppleInsider's comprehe
Pricey
Less RAM than the iPad Pro 12.9"
Expensive
IOS apps fall short of Mac and Windows apps in traditional business functionality
Keyboard is on the small side
No expandable memory option
A higher price
Plus expensive accessories. Less RAM and a slightly slower processor than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. iOS still limits overall flexibility of this iPad
Less RAM than the bigger version
But real-world performance is barely affected
The cost of the iPad is steep
But not everyone has funds to buy this device. The camera was ok when it came to indoor photos
True Tone is a bit pants
Expensive accessories
Limitations on iOS is what preventing this in replacing the laptop
Expensive for a tablet
Starting at $599
Smart Keyboard is small
Rather uncomfortable
And too expensive
2GB of RAM not enough
No microSD card slot
Higher price compared with other iPads at launch
Smart Keyboard needs some work
Reach slightly exceeds its computing grasp
Expensive compared to current iPad Air 2 price
And extra features may not be worth it to a fair number of prospective users. Smaller screen makes for a slightly diminished drawing/typing experience compared to larger Pro. Audio not as good as larger Pro
Abstract: At first look, the iPad Pro is most certainly a thing of beauty, albeit slightly marred by it being Rose Gold. I don't know when that became the official colour mascot for prestige, but in my opinion it was never flattering to begin with. Aside from that...
Abstract: Tablets haven't had a great time lately. In the last two years, sales have plummeted and production has slowed to a crawl. While a lot of that is due to the fact they don't have the manic upgrade calendar of traditional computers or smartphones, it's also...
Class-leading performance, Great stereo sound, Excellent rear and front cameras, Gorgeous display, Thin and light build
Pretty expensive, Battery life could be better
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is easily the best tablet Apple has ever made, even besting its bigger brother, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.The 9.7-inch form factor is more manageable, lighter, thinner, and easier to pack in your backpack or handbag. It also fits nicely...
Exceptionally powerful, Timeless, near flawless design, True Tone makes for a very natural display, A great tool for arty types
True Tone really needs to be turned off for videos, photos etc, Far from cheap
If your tablet life consists entirely of content consumption and you see that continuing for the foreseeable future, the Air 2 is probably still the iPad for you.But if you like the idea of a tablet that allows you to be more creative or productive, the P...
Abstract: I haven't been an iPad user since I got my iPhone 6 Plus.My iPad mini, which I bought to compensate for the tiny screen on my iPhone 5s, sat unused on my nightstand for months until I finally decided to give up and sell it.For me, the best computing combo...

Pricey
Admittedly, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is quite pricey for a tablet, but the Pro features more than just a glorified gaming and entertainment gadget...
The iPad Pro 9.7 is easily the best tablet Apple has ever made, even besting its bigger brother, the iPad Pro 12.9.The 9.7-inch form factor is more manageable, lighter, thinner, and easier to pack in your backpack or handbag. It also fits nicely onto airp...
The iPad Pro sports the latest technologies which leaves me to conclude that Apple may terminate the iPad Air series. When the Pro arrived, Apple dropped prices of the Air which signals that change is coming.Battery life is excellent, lasting more than 24...

Pretty expensive, Battery life could be better
The iPad Pro 9.7 runs on the same 64-bit A9X SoC that you'll find inside the iPad Pro 12.9. Its bigger brother is marginally faster with a 2.26GHz clockspeed, compared to 2.16GHz on the 9.7, but the 12.9 also has to work harder to drive its larger display...
