CUPERTINO, CA—Apple's Monday press event fulfilled our expectations of a new iPad reveal, which came in the form of the iPad Pro—but not the same one as launched last year. Apple's Phil Schiller demonstrated the new 9.7-inch model. The 32GB WiFi-only model will launch for $599, while its storage will top out at 256GB for $899.
The new model borrows some of the best elements of the iPad Pro, including a four-speaker array and an updated screen that offers Apple Pencil support, all while sporting dimensions closer to those of the iPad Air 2, including a 9.7-inch, 2048x1536 resolution screen. "It's the lowest reflectivity of any tablet," Schiller said about the "True Tone" display that actively measures brightness and ambient light temperature, which he said is also 25 percent brighter than the iPad Air 2.
We expected a processor on par with the last iPad Pro's A9X, and we're getting exactly that processor in this smaller Pro version.It has also seen a camera boost to a 12MP sensor capable of 4K video recording, and a 5MP FaceTime front-facing camera with Retina-display flash.
