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 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 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...
We can't say definitively which tablet is better before we've had a chance to properly benchmark and test out the newcomer. The lower price is certainly tempting, and while there are rumblings - and grumblings - about the smaller amount of RAM, there's a...
There are some subtle differences like the Rose Gold option, "Hey Siri" and the camera bump but if you're going to spend £150 on the new iPad Pro instead of the iPad Air 2 it's got to be because you will make use of the better screen, extra processing pow...

Way easier to handle, True Tone display is gorgeous, More power is better
Base model only has 32GB of storage, Apple still won't sell a tablet with OS X, What do you do with that 12.9, inch iPad Pro you bought?
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is probably a look at the future of iPad — it's a manageable size, has an industry-leading display, and is a joy to create art on. That said, we wonder if it'll truly attract Windows converts without running a full operating system...
Impressive sound from internal speakers, Colourful and detailed picture, Beautiful design, Good camera,
Sound through the headphone jack lacks sparkle,
Apple's thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, at the iPad Pro 9.7. Not only has it succeeded but, in some ways, it has even managed to outshine its big brother.The smaller screen is a seriously tempting proposition, and even though the sound qual...

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is one of the best iPads Apple has ever made. It manages to carry all the power you need in a laptop, while being extremely portable. It's packed with features such as the four speakers, support for Pencil and Smart Keyboard, making...
Blazing fast performance, Stunning display, Loud speakers, Compact form factor
Smart Keyboard is flimsy, Not the ideal laptop replacement, Expensive
if you are using a tablet that is more than three years old, it's time to upgrade to the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. It's great for content consumption and playing games even if it's expensive. The Smart Keyboard isn't for everyonr and feels inconvinient. Overall...
