Apple iPad Pro rumored to go on sale starting November

Apple iPad Pro is on the verge of being released and it’s a little earlier than initially predicted. Apple’s tablet has some serious competition ahead of it and all the release times put it in a pretty sensible position. In any case, while the initial release prospect was around late-November we now have a much more optimistic release date.
Initial reports claimed that Apple would release the iPad Pro in late November but new sources show that the release date is more likely the beginning of November rather than the end of it. This means that we will soon be able to get our hands on Apple’s latest tablet, which needs to beat the famous Surface Pro 4 before consumers go with it. This release date is perfect because it means that we will see some iPad Pro devices on sale for Black Friday which is around this period, and Apple’s tablet release seems perfectly timed. Again, it will have to compete with Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 which is exponentially cheaper, and keep in mind accessories are separate.
The iPad Pro is 6.9 mm thick compared to 6.1 mm of the iPad Air 2. It weighs 1.57 pounds or around 750 grams. A smart keyboard cover was also launched as an accessory for the iPad Pro. This cover has a keyboard inspired from the new Apple Macbook. iOS 9 will automatically adapt to this new keyboard on attachment.

Another accessory, the Apple Pencil, was also released for extensive enterprise functions on the Apple iPad Pro. It has a built-in lightning cable for charging. It is priced at $99.
This is termed to be the enterprise edition of the iPad tablet device, used mostly by artists and designers for corporate utilisation.
The display has 5.6 million pixels, more than even the Macbook Pro 15-inch laptop. It also has a custom motion controller, used in the iMac 5k display model. It is powered by the A9X 64-bit chipset which is 1.8 times faster than the A8X and Apple claims it is Desktop level performance.
The GPU in the A9X are almost double the power in the A8 variant. Apple also claims that it is faster than a majority of portable computers launched in the Windows ecosystem. It also comes with a 10-hour battery life and a four-speaker system which is a first for Apple.
It weighs in at 750 grams and will be available at a price of $799 for 32GB and $949 for 64GB variants starting 11 November 2015.
