With more power and features it is natural that you might be planning to buy them, specially the more compact and affordable 11-inch model. Apple has just introduced its brand-new iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch models that are more feature rich than before and are more powerful as well.
Apple, like the last time, is pitching both tablets as a replacement to your laptops for everyday work. So, with the keyboard accessory and the tablet Apple claims to deliver users a similar experience that they get when working on traditional laptops.
With that many claims and the prowess, it is natural that you might be planning to buy them, specially the more compact and affordable 11-inch model. The sharp and flat corners, screen bezels, speakers, ports and everything else stays the same.
Both feature the same 11-inch LED Backlit IPS panel with 2388×1668 pixels resolution and 600nits maximum brightness. It has a major bump in the camera department and some minor upgrades in the processing segment since the design, display and battery nearly stay the same.

iPad Pro 12.9 inch 1st Gen 2015 vs iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2nd Gen 2017 Comparison
Under the hood though, there are several key improvements on the 2nd generation such as Apple’s A10X Fusion chip, a 120 Hz high refresh rate display with ProMotion and True Tone, and internal storage doubling to a max of 512GB.
iPad Pro (1st generation)
On March 21, 2016, the 9.7-inch version of the iPad Pro was announced at an Apple keynote with an additional rose gold color option. The 9.7-inch version also introduced the ability to choose the base 32 GB model [9] with a Cellular + WiFi option. Its True Tone display allows the LCD to adapt its color and intensity to ambient lighting. New features include a smart connector for a keyboard and four stereo speakers located in pairs on top and bottom of the device. Both displays have a resolution of 264 pixels per inch and feature a variable refresh rate, a first for Apple. The special edition iPad Pro has an “Edition 1 of 1” label engraved on its back and comes with a custom yellow-gold anodized finish, a blue leather Smart Cover and an orange leather Apple Pencil case cover, all of which are not sold by Apple elsewhere. [14] Matt Swider from TechRadar complimented the easy handling, large 256 GB configuration and True Tone display, but was upset about the high starting price. [15] Gareth Beavis gave a positive review, commending the expansive screen and audio quality but stated that the battery life could be made longer.
Ipad Pro 1st or 2nd Gen – tight budget.
I used to have the Surface 4 – apart from the PDF annotation which was excellent and served its purpose, but I eventually grew to hate this tablet with passion Sold now. Not a fatal one, but perhaps slightly a painful one.I used to have the Surface 4 – apart from the PDF annotation which was excellent and served its purpose, but I eventually grew to hate this tablet with passionSold now.
I have been satisfied with every iPhone I’ve ever owned and started with the second iPhone.As far as the 2 iPads I think the only significant thing that would make me upgrade is twice the memory.
Works better than my iPhone 6s which has the x9 dual core .If your main reason choosing between the w iPads, to me the only exciting thing is the double the memory.
Matter of fact I was brought up in thlate 50s 60s and love to go to YouTube to watch and listen to some of my old hero’s. And what I thought might be a 10 minute watch and listen turned into hours and I am a total audio file.
I can’t stand listening to YouTube on an iPhone , obviously I’d always prefer mt home entertainment unit and with my 3 Apple TVs and a couple great sound systems I have incredible audio that in the 70s I never thought possible without spending 10k on a system.Anyway, hope I didn’t ramble too much, but I think until there’s a significant difference between the iPad pro’s or if they were to increase the size up to maybe a legal pad, I’m just gonna keep my now 3 year old iPad Pro.Wanted to get an Apple Pencil but for 100 bucks, it doesn’t excite me that much.I also wanted to say that I was a windows user from 1985until about the time I got my second iPhone. I’ve looked back and forth but then all I have to do is remember the decades of getting a fast windows computer and in 6 months somehowit slowed to the pace of a turtle . Low priced, focused, and not stuffed with all kinds of crap I’ll never use but slows down my com]puter after installing. Geeez, with a Microsoft computer and b4 windows 8 after a year of installing programs, it could take 5 to 10 minutes to bit. Compared to my old Microsoft this is science fiction come true !First edit,After all these years owing an iPhone, last night I slipped on some refrozen snow melt and took a pretty good digger. I had happened to be texting my daughter when as I fell my iPhone 6s which had been in mint condition, I always protect them from the day I get them for resale value.
Because the aftermarket home button does not have finger print recognition.Hay apple fans have a great day.
iPad Pro 12.9in (2017) vs iPad Pro 12.9in (2015)
It’s been almost two years since the iPad Pro first came into our lives, so it’s just about possible that early adopters’ bank accounts have recovered sufficiently to start considering an upgrade. And this is a pretty decent (if unexciting) upgrade to make.The new model is significantly faster on paper, and will show its chops and greater future-proofing when more demanding apps start to come out. The screen is brighter and offers smoother graphical performance on fast-moving imagery, and better integration with the Apple Pencil.
The 2015 model is still fast and user-friendly, and we’re not seeing a lot of reasons to ditch it – although it’s possible that one of the improvements already mentioned has been enough to turn your head.
Apple fans we speak to tend to upgrade their iPads far less often than their iPhones, and there may not be quite enough here to change that. Apple has been feverishly launching iPads in the first half of 2017: three out of four of the models it now sells came out this year.
At the very top of the range comes the 2017 revamp of the iPad Pro 12.9in: a big, powerful and very expensive device that is more than capable of serving as a laptop replacement (and ought to, given that it costs as much as one). Apple doesn’t officially announce the amount of RAM in its devices, but teardowns of the original 12.9in Pro show that it has 4GB.
We don’t yet know the equivalent for the 2017 model; we do know that the smaller Pro has doubled from 2GB in the 9.7in (2016) to 4GB in the 10.5in (2017), so an increase is possible, but we’d be surprised if Apple goes any higher at this point. The refresh rate, however, has doubled, a change which is designed to provide smoother graphics when you’re playing visually demanding games and (in particular) creating digital illustrations and notes with the Apple Pencil. Finally, Apple points to increased brightness on the new iPad Pro, rated at a claimed 600 nits. This is probably the biggest upgrade: the new iPad has the same cameras as the iPhone 7, a major step forward from the previous generation.
This is the first time second-gen Touch ID, which is quicker and more reliable than the original tech, has appeared in an iPad. The average user can probably expect longer life than these numbers, although we find that gaming murders our batteries. Apple has increased the capacity of the battery in the new Pro, which is a mild surprise given that it’s lighter; between this and the various power saving efficiencies it’s made across the board we’re hopeful of a strong showing in battery tests, and we’ll update this article when we’ve got the results. We can’t imagine ‘normal’ users – ones who don’t have extensive game libraries, or who need to store large audio and video files – needing more than the base 64GB, although it might be said that ‘normal’ users would be better served by a more basic iPad altogether – such as the iPad 9.7in (2017).
Purely for comparison purposes (since this model is no longer available from Apple), here’s what the company charged for the old 12.9in Pro as recently as April 2017. The UK Tech Weekly Podcast team dissect the latest announcements in episode 64.
