Those who are raring to get an iPad Pro won't have to wait that long. A new report claims that the giant tablet from Cupertino will be made available on Nov. 11, which is less than two weeks away and roughly a whole month past the device's official announcement.
According to unidentified sources cited by 9to5mac, the said date covers the availability of the monstrous slab both in physical stores of Apple as well as online. During this day, the accessories of the 12.9-inch tablet namely the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard will be up for grabs too.
When the iPad Pro was first announced along with the new iPhones and the Apple TV reboot, Apple promised that it will be for the taking come the month of November, although no specific date was designated back then. If the report is any indication, the device will be seen in the flesh soon.
The 12.9 incher looks sleek and smooth and is dressed up in space gray, silver and gold. Under the hood hums an Apple A9X processor, the latest of its kind that puts the mammoth of a 2-in-1 device on the front line against other portable PCs in terms of speed and processing power.
Helping out the in-house chipset power up the iPad Pro is 4 GB worth of RAM. On the imaging side, the hybrid has an 8-MP camera on the back and a 1.2-MP shooter on the front to boast. Its battery is touted to keep the lights on for 10 whole hours.
The device comes only with two storage configurations – one with 32 GB and the other with a spacious 128 GB. A Wi-Fi only version of the former costs $799 while the latter laden with LTE connectivity costs $1079. Buying the Apple Pencil is another $99. The Smart Keyboard is priced at $169.
