The Apple iPad Pro is a larger version of the original Apple iPad that the company announced on September 9th, 2015, with retail availability expected later in November of the same year.
While the original iPad’s screen measured 9.7 inches, the iPad Pro is a 12.9-inch tablet with 2,732 x 2,048 pixel resolution that is nearly as thin (6.9mm) as the company’s iPad Air while weighing about the same (1.59 pounds) as Apple’s original iPad device.
