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

The iPad Pro is without doubt the best tablet Apple has ever made.It's fast, unbelievably powerful and packed with features you'll genuinely use and love.Using the device on a long haul flight has also made us realise how adaptable it is.The iPad Pro prob...
Beautiful build, Great battery life, True Tone display, Fantastic camera
Expensive
This is an incredible product. Looks, power, battery and camera all play along nicely to make this the best tablet I have seen so far this year. You will not be able to use it as a laptop replacement because a laptop brings with it the ease of use and com...

Pro 9.7 adds Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil compatibility, Pro is faster
Pro 9.7in is very expensive
The iPad Pro 9.7 is considerably more expensive than the Air 2 (direct comparisons aren't possible any more, because there are no overlaps between the two devices' storage offerings, but the Pro is £60 more at each point than the Air 2 was at launch), yet...
True Tone display is stunning, Perfect size, Apple Pencil is great, Stong tablet ecosystem, Power to get things done
Expensive, 32GB option isn't enough space, iOS could be better
9.7-inch iPad Pro – Software Like every other Apple tablet, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro runs iOS. More specifically, iOS 9.3. iOS 9 wasn't a huge rethinking of the software – that might come with iOS 10 later this year – but it did introduce a few juicy feature...

Excellent quality screen, High quality camera, No heavier or bulkier than the iPad Air 2, Apple Pencil as good as ever, Fingerprint reader
Pricey accessories, Keyboard cover won't suit everyone, Other similarly sized tablets have longer battery life
An excellent tablet, but it's compromised enough that it won't suit everyone as a laptop replacement...

Abstract: The iPad Pro launched as a tablet with niche appeal in 2015 . It traded-away portability in favour of a larger screen and a Pencil accessory offering graphics tablet hardware to rival the professional Wacom Cintiq range.Apple has now unveiled the iPad P...
As a result, I can't quite give the 9.7-inch iPad Pro a full five stars, but that still doesn't stop the 9.7-inch iPad Pro from being the best tablet that Apple has ever made as well as a pretty strong contender for the best tablet you can currently buy...
There's no doubt that the iPad Pro 9.7 is the best tablet Apple has ever made, combining the power of the original into the stunning form factor of the iPad Air 2 (with a camera bump). Apple has also added new features such as upgraded cameras and one of...
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is a professional’s tool that only really works for you if you’re a particular type of creative pro (i.e. an illustrator who draws in Procreate or similar). By spanning your professional and home lives by being easier to bring every...
