iPad Pro (9.7-inch)
iPad · iPad Pro · discontinued 5 June 2017
The iPad Pro is a series of tablet computers, positioned as the premium line of Apple's iPad brand. Models run iPadOS, a tablet-optimized fork of the iOS operating system. Early models were distinguished from other iPads by their ability to use the Apple Pencil stylus and their larger screen size. As other iPads have gained these features over time, the latest eighth-generation iPad Pro is notable among other features for its powerful processor (the M5) and being the thinnest Apple product ever released.
The original iPad Pro was introduced in September 2015 and ran iOS 9. It had an A9X chip, and came in two sizes: 9.7 inches (250 mm) and 12.9 inches (330 mm); the 9.7-inch came out in March 2016. The second-generation iPad Pro was unveiled during the June 2017 WWDC event. It came with an upgraded A10X Fusion processor and superseded the 9.7-inch model with a 10.5-inch (270 mm) model. The third-generation iPad Pro was announced in October 2018 with a new screen design. As a part of the redesign, the home button was removed in favor of Face ID. It comes in 11-inch (280 mm) and 12.9-inch models.
