“The early response to iPad Pro from app developers and our customers has been incredible, and we’re excited to get iPad Pro into the hands of customers around the world this week.” – said Philip Schiller, SVP Worldwide Marketing, Apple.
Apple is also going all out in the customer services department by announcing that a user purchasing the iPad Pro from a physical Apple Store will also be given the option of getting their device set up for them by an Apple Store representative. Furthermore, these customers can also have their email and other apps set up for them at the store for free.
Before you buy anything though, let us give you a small recap of the iPad Pro’s features. It comes with a 12.9-inch IPS screen carrying a 2048 x 2072 resolution with a pixel density of 265ppi. It runs on the Apple A9X SoC which is under the hood and has a 4GB of RAM inside. On the camera front, it comes with an 8MP primary camera and a 1.2MP camera up front. The battery is expected to last you about 10 hours of use between charges.
Let’s see when this much anticipated Apple device arrives in India. It would be interesting to see the response of the Indian market to the iPad Pro after the unexpectedly low sales of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Watch this space for all the latest updates.
