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
This is one of the toughest reviews I've ever had to write. The starting point is this: Apple has made the best tablet on the market, full stop. It's probably the best device Apple has ever made, and given the company's history that's saying a lot. It's...

Slick design, amazing display, ability to draw and write on the screen, same camera as iPhone 6S, excellent performance, long battery life
Limited physical connectivity, expensive accessories, has half the RAM of the 12.9inch iPad Pro
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet Apple has ever produced and it has the credentials to hold its own against many laptops. For creativity and productivity on the go, the iPad Pro offers a lot more than any other tablet on the market...
Beautifully built aluminium casing; Still just as thin and light as the iPad Air 2; Lovely screen; Display supports “True Tone” light detection to change the colour of the screen to better accommodate the human eye; Performance increases are welcome; Supp
Expensive, and with so many options in the 9.7 inch line-up to thoroughly confuse on which option you should go for; Won't support all iPad Air 2 cases due to the camera extrusion;
Steve Jobs once proclaimed that the “post-PC era” was here, with tablets ushering in a new feature with one where work and play could be carried around in a device that wasn't really all that computer-like, so to speak.Five years on from that comment, it'...
The new iPad Pro delivers a fast processor; a bright, antireflective display; support for Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard accessories; better, louder speakers and top-notch cameras, in the same exact body as the iPad Air 2
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
It's still not a full-fledged laptop killer, but the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best iPad ever made -- a near-perfect balance of tablet power and portability...

Abstract: The other new features of the 9.7in iPad Pro are ones that will seem familiar, because they were the highlight features of the iPad Pro when it launched last spring. First up is support for the Apple Pencil, and I think this is going to be an enormous hit...
Abstract: When the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro was placed down on my desk, it felt like Christmas. I didn't even care that its alluring metal finish was a distinctive shade of pink (or ‘Rose Gold' according to Apple).My previous experience with tablets had consisted of...

Powerful, Great display, Great Camera
Expensive, Speakers still don't face front, No mouse support
Apple's latest iPad Pro, the new 9.7-in. model, not only gets many of the architecture advances from the larger version, but also a better camera and what may be Apple's most advanced display yet...

The new iPad Pro 10.5in (2017) is a moderate rather than earth-shattering step forward from the iPad Pro 9.7in (2016).The headline enhancement is that you get a bigger screen, with less of an increase in size and weight than you'd expect as a pay-off; for...
Obviously the Pro is a better device. The display is much nicer under the fingers and features a higher-quality panel. It's faster, has superior cameras, advanced features such as Apple Pencil compatibility, lasts longer on a single charge, and you can ge...
Curiously, Apple told us that many iPad Pro owners are coming over from Windows. Somehow, they view the iPad Pro as a legitimate Windows replacement, despite the fact that neither size ships with OS X. It's tough to see iOS truly replacing a full-fledged...
