Retina Display

A canvas designed for your biggest ideas.

With 5.6 million pixels, iPad Pro features the highest-resolution Retina display of any iOS device. The 12.9-inch screen makes everything you do-editing 4K video, designing presentations, running a business-easier, faster, and more engaging. And the Multi-Touch subsystem has been reengineered, expanding the ways you can interact with iPad.

A9X Chip

Our most powerful chip for our most capable device.

At the heart of iPad Pro lies the new A9X, our third-generation chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture. It delivers up to 1.8 times the CPU performance and double the graphics performance of iPad Air 2. So even the most demanding apps run effortlessly.

iOS 9

A better experience with every touch.

iOS 9 is the most intuitive, advanced, and secure mobile operating system in the world. With new capabilities that take full advantage of the powerful performance of iPad Pro, it helps you be more productive and creative. Multitasking makes running two apps at once a snap. And improved features throughout the system, including Siri and Spotlight search, make iPad even more useful. If it feels like iOS 9 and iPad Pro were designed for each other, it’s because they were.

Apps for iPad

More iPad than ever. So apps can do more than ever.

iPad Pro comes with a variety of built-in apps that make it easy to take on the essential things you do every day. And on the App Store, you’ll find incredible apps designed just for iPad, so there’s virtually no limit to what you can do.

GarageBand

iMovie

UMake

Design

Huge in almost every way.

Even with its massive display, iPad Pro has an astonishingly slim and light design-just 6.9 mm thin and 1.57 pounds. Yet thanks to the strong unibody enclosure, it feels well-balanced and sturdy. For all its capabilities, the most surprising thing about iPad Pro may be how easily it seems to disappear in the hand.

Four Speaker Audio

A rich listening experience at every turn.

With four new high-fidelity speakers built directly into its unibody, iPad Pro creates an audio experience as big as its display. The new design produces an engaging soundstage with three times the acoustic output of iPad Air. But it goes even further than that. iPad Pro automatically adjusts the orientation of the high frequencies according to how you’re holding it. So whether you’re playing a game or watching a movie, the sound of iPad Pro is more immersive than ever.

The New Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro

The only thing we didn’t reinvent was the alphabet.

The Smart Keyboard combines an array of new technologies and materials to create a keyboard like no other.1 It’s a full-size keyboard that’s fully portable, and connects to iPad Pro with the Smart Connector, an innovative new interface that allows for a two-way exchange of power and data. Just attach the Smart Keyboard and start typing.

Introducing Apple Pencil for iPad Pro

Completely familiar. Entirely revolutionary.

With its pixel-perfect precision, Apple Pencil expands the power of Multi-Touch and opens up new creative possibilities.1 It’s sensitive to both tilt and pressure, allowing you to create a range of artistic strokes and effects-from the thinnest of lines to subtle shading. Beyond adding new capabilities to iPad Pro, Apple Pencil also feels completely natural and responsive from the moment you pick it up.

Touch ID

Advanced security. Right at your fingertip.

iPad Pro uses Touch ID technology to turn your fingerprint into an unforgettable password. So you can unlock your device with just a touch and keep your personal data safe, even if you share your iPad with someone else. Touch ID also lets you make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store. And with Apple Pay, you can make purchases within your favorite apps, easily and securely.

iSight and FaceTime HD Cameras

Two incredible cameras to capture any moment.

People love to take photos with iPad. The iSight camera on iPad Pro has an advanced sensor that lets you shoot beautiful images and video. The Apple-designed image signal processor gives you excellent results, whether you’re taking a panorama or using burst or timer modes. You can also shoot time-lapse and slo-mo video in 720p HD. And with a larger viewfinder, you’ll see more detail than ever before.

The front-facing FaceTime HD camera also has an improved sensor, which along with the larger display, makes video calls feel more lifelike. Even in low-light or backlit settings, your pictures and videos will look great.

Wi-Fi + LTE

Fast wireless connectivity.

iPad Pro connects to fast Wi-Fi, so you can download movies, browse the web, and share documents.

Smart Covers and Silicone Cases

The perfect travel companions for your iPad Pro.

We’ve made Smart Covers and Silicone Cases especially for iPad Pro.1 The Smart Cover is crafted from durable polyurethane and comes in two colors-charcoal gray and white. The Silicone Case protects the back of your iPad Pro and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for complete front-and-back coverage.

Design

A sight to be held.

To create an iPad this huge, no detail was too small. From the way images are brought to life to its considerable versatility, we pushed every aspect of what’s possible with iPad to new heights. The end result, unmistakable the moment you begin using it, goes beyond a larger display. Unlike anything before it, iPad Pro is a far bigger experience.

5.6 million pixels. Each and every one a thing of beauty.

• 2732×2048 Screen resolution
• 12.9″ Display
• 78% Larger than iPad Air 2

iPad Pro has the most advanced Retina display we’ve ever made. The 12.9‑inch screen offers 78 percent more display area than that of iPad Air 2. Under the glass lie a revamped Multi‑Touch subsystem and 5.6 million brilliant pixels, making it the highest-resolution display of any iOS device. That extreme resolution, along with remarkably lifelike colors and deeper blacks, makes everything from photo editing to intense 3D games more vivid and deeply engaging.

A huge leap of engineering in just 6.9 mm.

The Retina display on iPad Pro incorporates all-new technologies to enable unparalleled levels of precision and responsiveness. The Multi‑Touch subsystem was designed to accommodate two types of touch-your finger and Apple Pencil.

Meet Apple Pencil. Made precisely for creativity.

A new Multi‑Touch subsystem in iPad Pro enables the striking capabilities and pixel‑perfect precision of Apple Pencil.* Using incredibly fine‑tuned pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects-just like with a conventional pencil. But Apple Pencil does far more. It can be a fountain pen, a watercolor brush, and even a calligrapher’s nib.

An elegant form that’s exceptionally strong.

• 1.57 pounds
• 6.9 mm thin

Despite having 78 percent more display area than iPad Air 2, iPad Pro feels reassuringly solid in the hand. The aluminum unibody is a perfect balance of lightness and uncommon strength.

Four Speaker Audio. One completely new take on sound.

The iPad Pro has four innovative speakers that produce a stereo soundstage as enveloping as its display. For the first time, the speaker housings have been machined directly into the unibody enclosure. This new architecture gives the speakers 61 percent more back volume compared to previous iPad audio designs. You’ll hear a wider frequency range and up to three times more output than on any other iPad.

An incredible sound experience, no matter how you turn it.

The speakers in iPad Pro aren’t just high fidelity, they’re highly intelligent. While all four produce bass frequencies, the topmost speakers are dedicated to higher frequencies. They also automatically recognize whether the device is in portrait or landscape view. So you’ll always get vivid, well-balanced sound no matter how you’re holding iPad Pro.

The new Smart Keyboard. The only thing we didn’t reinvent was the alphabet.

The new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full‑size keyboard, but its technology couldn’t be less conventional.* The surface is formed from a single sheet of custom‑woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely form each key. This unique construction ensures a satisfyingly responsive, accurate, and natural feel. Underneath that fabric lies a new conductive material that allows for a two‑way flow of power and data. That’s why you won’t find any batteries, cords, or on/off switches on the Smart Keyboard. And unlike traditional wires, the conductive fabric can withstand a lifetime of folding, though it’s nearly as thin as a sheet of paper.

More than a connector.

The Smart Connector is a new interface that takes advantage of the two-way conductive fabric in the Smart Keyboard. It allows iPad Pro to provide power to the Smart Keyboard and lets the Smart Keyboard relay each of your keystrokes back to iPad Pro. Using the Smart Connector couldn’t be easier. Simply align the Smart Keyboard to iPad Pro-just as you would with a Smart Cover-and start typing. Now there’s even less distance between what’s on your mind and what’s on the display.

Technology

Raw power. In its most elegant form.

The sheer performance of iPad Pro redefines everything iPad is capable of. Every technological element, from the new A9X chip to the graphics processor to the storage controller, has been designed to enhance each other for maximum performance and energy efficiency. iPad Pro isn't just faster, smoother, and more engaging. It sets a whole new standard.

Our most powerful chip for our most capable device.

• 64-bit architecture
• A9X chip

The uncompromising performance of iPad Pro is driven by some equally uncompromising technology. The A9X, our third-generation chip with 64‑bit desktop‑class architecture, gives iPad Pro the power to easily take on tasks that were once reserved for workstations and PCs. And tasks you’d never consider doing on a PC.

Despite this barrier-breaking performance, the A9X chip’s underlying architecture is efficient, ensuring that there’s one way in which iPad Pro isn’t massive - battery consumption.

Quicker Work.	More beautiful play.
With 1.8 times the CPU performance of iPad Air 2, the A9X chip delivers incredible speed and responsiveness. So iPad Pro reacts to every gesture faster than ever. Even complex tasks like creating, rendering, and manipulating a 3D design or editing multiple streams of 4K video happen quickly and with unparalleled smoothness.	Despite having nearly twice the pixels in its Retina display, iPad Pro still offers up to double the graphics performance of iPad Air 2. You’ll see even the most intense visuals render with unmatched richness and speed. That speed, paired with the sheer size of the display, makes it easier than ever to lose yourself in your favorite movies and games.

The storage controller. The unsung hero of superfast performance.

The A9X chip is capable of processing data so quickly, it demanded a new memory architecture. iPad Pro features a revamped storage controller that helps deliver performance better than some desktop computers. This increases read and write speeds, so you can quickly open even the largest files. Like the big 4K movie you just edited or all the RAW images you imported from your HD camera.

Metal.

A real game changer.

Metal gets the greatest graphics performance out of the A9X chip and iOS 9, so developers can design highly immersive console-style games and blazing-fast apps. Metal optimizes the CPU and graphics performance to deliver detailed graphics and complex visual effects. So every imaginary world feels more realistic.

High-performance apps can now reach new heights.

Everything you can do on a desktop computer or gaming console is not only possible on iPad Pro, it’s possibly better. While the size and resolution of the display make every activity more immersive, the finely tuned Multi-Touch subsystem and A9X chip mean even the apps you use most will feel like nothing before.

iMovie

Shoot, edit, and share on a high-resolution screen that brings your videos to life. iPad Pro is capable of playing three simultaneous 4K video streams in iMovie, without losing its agile responsiveness to your every command. And everything looks brilliant in the 1080p viewer.

Adobe Photoshop Fix

Retouch photos on iPad with the power of Photoshop. Enjoy all the tools you need-and even some you might not expect-to edit, manipulate, and add new dimension to your photos. And Photoshop Fix supports up to 50-megapixel images, so you can make the most of the high-resolution Retina display.

AutoCAD 360

Architects and industrial designers can now take on the complex and demanding task of 3D modeling with ease. iPad Pro works with graphics-intensive apps like AutoCAD 360 to bring amazing depth and polish to sketches. So you can see your car design or building layout come to life in an easily portable format.

An incredible 10‑hour battery life.

You might expect that such high performance would compromise battery life. But even with its high-resolution Retina display and groundbreaking power, iPad Pro maintains great endurance and efficiency.

Fast wireless connectivity.

iPad Pro features 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology and MIMO, so you can easily connect to ultrafast networks and enjoy download speeds of up to 866 Mbps.

iOS 9

A better experience with every touch.

iOS 9 is the world’s most advanced, intuitive, and secure mobile operating system. If it feels like it was custom made for iPad, that’s because it was. From the elegant interface to powerful multitasking features and useful built‑in apps, iOS 9 is designed to help you get the most out of iPad.

Double up on productivity.

Slide Over, Split View, and Picture in Picture give you new ways to multitask on iPad. New QuickType features make formatting and text selection even easier-and put shortcuts right at your fingertips.

Slide Over

Now you can open a second app without leaving the one you’re in. So you can quickly browse the web, respond to a text message, or jot something down in a note, then slide that app away and get back to the one you were using before.

Split View

With Split View on iPad, you can go a step further and have two apps open and active at the same time. Work on a sketch with the reference photo beside it. Or write a paper while copying citations from a book in iBooks. When everything you need is right in front of you, it’s easier to focus.

Picture in Picture

While using FaceTime or watching a video, press the Home button and your video screen scales down to a corner of your display. Tap to open a second app, and your video continues to play-even while you use the other app. So keep watching your favorite TV show while you reply to the email that just came in.

Shortcuts at your fingertips.

Shape up your text in no time with an all-new Shortcut Bar, convenient editing tools, and a handy new way to select text with Multi-Touch gestures. And now when you use a wireless keyboard with your iPad, you can enjoy even more keyboard shortcuts.

Easy text selection

Selecting text is as easy as 1, 2.

Control the cursor on your iPad by simply moving two fingers anywhere on the screen, including over the keyboard, to select, edit, and move text.

Shortcut Bar

A built-in Shortcut Bar.

Bold, italicize, or underline-even copy and paste-with just a couple of taps from your keyboard. The Shortcut Bar can also be customized for third-party apps, so the tools you need are always right where you need them.

Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts. On any keyboard.

Use keyboard shortcuts to perform even more commands on your iPad-like switching between apps or bringing up search with a wireless keyboard. And interact with your apps using their own built-in, custom shortcuts. Just press and hold a key like Command, Option, or Control to see shortcuts in any app.

Built-in features and apps that make your iPad – and you – more capable.

The powerful built-in apps on your iPad are designed for the essential things you use them for every day-mail, messages, web browsing, maps, making notes, and so much more. iOS 9 brings key enhancements to several of these apps, and introduces a brand-new one that will change how you experience news.

Apps designed for iPad. And everything you want to do with it.

iPad apps are, true to their name, built just for iPad. You’ll find incredible apps on the App Store made to take advantage of every inch of the stunning Retina display and powerful capabilities of iPad. Whether you want to get more productive, play a great game, or edit photos, the App Store makes it easy to search and easy to buy.

A seamless experience across your iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

Each of your devices puts amazing capabilities in your hands on its own. But features like Handoff, AirDrop, AirPlay, and iCloud let you work across devices-and the possibilities become even more astonishing.

Handoff lets you pick up right where you left off.

Start writing an email on your iPhone and pick up where you left off when you sit down at your Mac. Or browse the web on your Mac and continue from the same link on your iPad. It all happens automatically when your devices are signed in to the same iCloud account. Use Handoff with favorite apps like Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. Developers can build support for Handoff into their apps, too.

Send any kind of text message from any of your devices.

Having a conversation with friends and family who don’t use an iPhone is easy. That’s because you can send and receive SMS and MMS text messages with not just your iPhone, but also your iPad and even your Mac. So when a friend texts you from any kind of phone, you can respond using whichever device is most convenient. Or you can send them a text from your iPad or Mac by clicking a phone number in apps like Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.

AirPlay. Show it off on the big screen.	AirPrint. Printing is simple. And wireless.	Share files wirelessly with AirDrop.
AirPlay lets you wirelessly stream what’s on your iOS device to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. Or mirror exactly what’s on your display to the big screen. From vacation photos to blockbuster movies-you choose how to go big.	AirPrint makes it easy to print email and web pages from your iPad to your AirPrint‑enabled printer. To print an email, tap the Reply button and select Print. To print a web page, tap the Share button and select Print. You can also print photos, documents, and more.	Sharing with AirDrop is faster and more convenient than an email or a text, especially when the person you want to share with isn’t in your contacts. Just tap to send photos, videos, contacts-and anything else from any app with a Share button-to anyone nearby who’s also running iOS or OS X.

iCloud.

Everything you need. Everywhere you need it.

iCloud makes sure all your devices always have the latest versions of your most important things, including documents, photos, apps, contacts, calendar events, and more.

Any kind of file. On all your devices.

iCloud Drive lets you access all your files from any device. With Family Sharing, all your photos, videos, music, and iTunes purchases can be shared easily with your family across multiple Apple devices. And iCloud Photo Library keeps every photo and video you take all in one place, and you can access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac and on iCloud.com.

Safety and security come standard.

iOS provides built-in security from the moment you turn on your device. That’s because the hardware, firmware, and operating system come with built-in features designed to help your device-and what you put on it-stay safe.

Security	Privacy
Malware and viruses aren’t confined to desktops anymore. They can infect mobile devices, too. Which is why Apple takes security seriously when it comes to iOS. For starters, hardware and firmware features are designed to protect against malware and viruses, while iOS features help to secure your personal information. Two-factor authentication prompts you for a verification code when you sign in from a new browser or on a new device.* This code is automatically displayed on your other Apple devices or sent to your phone, so you can quickly gain access to your account, while unauthorized users are kept out. Touch ID lets you use your fingerprint as a passcode, preventing unauthorized access to your device. When you use a passcode, it automatically encrypts and protects information like your email, calendar events, contacts, reminders, notes, messages, and third-party apps.	iOS is designed to put your privacy first. If an app wants your location information or data from Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, or Photos, it needs your permission first. And you have complete control of how Health and HomeKit use your data. Conversations over iMessage and FaceTime are encrypted, including predictive text-so no one but you and the person you’re talking to can see or read what’s being said. And features built into Safari give you the ability to browse privately, block cookies, and prevent websites from tracking you.
Find My iPad	iCloud Keychain
Your iPhone is your iPhone, no matter where it is. The same goes for your iPad and iPod touch. Because security features in iOS make it very difficult for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it.	Most of the websites you visit nowadays require user names and passwords. Remembering them all can be tough, but you can let iCloud Keychain do it for you. It stores your website user names and passwords on the devices you’ve approved, protects them with robust 256-bit AES encryption, and keeps them up to date on each device. Then it automatically fills them in whenever and wherever you need them. Password Generator can even suggest unique, hard-to-guess passwords for your online accounts. iCloud Keychain works with credit card information too, so checking out takes no time at all.

Easy to update.

iOS updates are free. And they’re available to download wirelessly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch the moment they’re released. Your device even alerts you when it’s time to get the latest version. So you won’t miss out on all the amazing features in new updates.

See everything inside iOS 9.

There’s even more to discover in the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. And it was all engineered to work hand in hand with the powerful technologies built into iPad.
