"Original 10.5-inch iPad Pro, just 1 pound ... Decided to maintain the perfect footprint but give you an ever bigger display. Now has an 11-inch display"
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:47:24 PM
New 11-inch screen in previous 10.5-inch body. Also a 12.9-inch in a smaller body (but larger than 11)

also previously offered 12.9-inch display. "Same large-screen experience in a much more portable package. New 12.9-inch iPad Pro." Almost exactly the same size as an 8.5x11 piece of paper

So, 11 and 12.9 seem pretty close in size, though!

Gestures from iPhone X come to iPad. Swiping down from upper right corner brings the control pad
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:49:31 PM
Face ID works in portrait, landscape for iPad Pro. iPhone X gesture language. This is the iPad X, basically

Split view lets you work with 2 apps at once
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:49:56 PM
Slideover gets you a quick view to another app, like if you need to view a message

Sarah Tew 10/30/2018 2:50:27 PM
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:50:29 PM

"But since this an X chip, bigger than A12. Over 10 billion transistors."
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:50:48 PM
A12X Bionic on the Pros. Also 7nm. Curious about graphics gain.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:51:06 PM
8 core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. Apple-designed fusion architecture. 35% faster CPU
