About the Product
The iPad Pro comes with iOS 9 installed, which features proactive assistance as well as powerful search and improved Siri features, all while protecting your privacy. There are the aforementioned multitasking features for iPad, which allow you to use multiple apps simultaneously, as well as improvements to built-in apps. The Notes app has been redesigned, the Maps app gives detailed transit information, and the News app adds another way to keep up with the times. The foundation of iOS is even stronger, with software updates that require less space to install and advanced security features to further protect your device. While the Retina Display of the iPad Pro features multi-touch capabilities, Apple does offer an alternative ways of interacting with the iPad Pro. The Apple Pencil is an optional accessory that can capture twice as many data points as your finger for greater precision. Force and tilt sensors transmit precise information to the iPad Pro, so you can intuitively lay down lines of varying thickness and opacity. The Smart Keyboard is another optional accessory that connects to the Smart Connector on the iPad Pro, which means you don't have to use Bluetooth. The Smart Keyboard has Apple's dome switches for precision typing.
No matter the task, the new iPad Pro is up to it — and then some. It offers far more power than most PC laptops, yet is delightfully simple to use. The redesigned Retina display is as stunning to look at as it is to touch. And it all comes together with iOS, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. iPad Pro. Everything you want modern computing to be. Now even, well, better.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Apple iPad Pro 9.7" (MLQ52LLA) Multi-Touch Retina Display, 128GB, WiFi + 4G LTE Cellular
- Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the speed of the iPad Pro and the 9.7" screen is the perfect size for me.
- I love the size and weight, very light compared to the 1st generation IPad that I had.
- Replaced our iPad 1 with this iPad Pro 9.7. It's fast and powerful with features like full size Pro with an awesome camera.
- This one has plenty of storage and the price was right. Compared to all others and this was the best buy anywhere.
- I got the one with 128 gb of memory and it perfect. Just a few minutes on this iPad has erased all of the frustration I was having with the much slower version of the iPad2.
Apple iPad Pro 10.5" Wi-Fi 64GB Rose Gold + Quality Photo Accessories 2017 Model
- I own all the iPad sizes now except the Pro12.9”. To me, the 10.5” iPad Pro is the PERFECT size. Additionally, the optional pencil is the icing on the cake.
- Great size, not too big and not too small. Excellent with the Apple Pencil.
- I will never buy a PC again.....perfect size for reading, especially for senior citizens. Great portability.
- The iPad Pro has just enough memory for someone who uses it primarily to store photos.
- I would like that it had more memory for the price
- Only problem I had with it was lack of memory I exchanged for the 256 gig.
- Great but no WiFi internet connection in my room , router is in kitchen, haven’t had this issue with my three prior iPads

- Easy to set up and share with my Mac and iPhone. New iOS takes some getting used to but all in all a nice combo.
- The sound that comes out the new one is at twice volume and quality of the one.
- This iPad has totally changed my mind. I love how easy it was to learn to use and the battery last way longer then any Samsung tablet or phone I have ever had. I will be switching to iPhone now for sure.
