Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:40:56 PM
"We've been pushing the boundaries on iPad. Today we're going to push them further than ever before."

Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:41:21 PM
iPad Pro well due for a good upgrade
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:41:22 PM
"When we introduced iPad Pro just 18 months ago, it completely redefined what you can do with iPad."

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:41:45 PM
"There are 2 models to iPad Pro today. 13 inch and 9.7 inch. 9.7 inch is our most popular model."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:41:52 PM
9.7 is the most popular Pro (no surprise). New Pro today
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:41:52 PM
"Today we're going to introduce an all-new iPad Pro."
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 6:41:53 PM
This is what we've all been waiting for... iPad Pro -- and the battle to prove a tablet can really replace your laptop.
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:41:54 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:42:02 PM
"It's going to take everything you love about the 9.7 inch and give you a whole lot more to love."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:42:17 PM
"It's the first iPad Pro with a larger 10.5 inch Retina Display."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:42:23 PM
New iPad Pro...looks like iPad Pro. But has 10.5-inch Retina, reduced bezels.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:42:29 PM
"We're able to reduce the borders."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:42:33 PM
Still 1 pound.

Interestingly, Microsoft is playing both sides of the coin, too, with the new Surface Laptop and new Surface Pro both shipping this month.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:42:54 PM
Weighs just 1 pound. The first iPad that can have a full-screen keyboard on the display, as well as a smart keyboard
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:42:59 PM
Full-size on-screen keyboard, and smart keyboard (I'm fine w 9.7 one though)
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:43:03 PM
More than 30 languages at launch
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:43:07 PM
Ry Crist 6/5/2017 6:43:08 PM
Apple's got its work cut out for it here. The "Pro" in iPad Pro needs to connote more than just "big."
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 6:43:20 PM
That seems roughly comparable to the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro combo.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:43:21 PM
"iPad Pro has always had the best displays in the industry. Both sizes are going to get incredible new displays today."
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:43:24 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:43:41 PM
So now 10.5 and 12.9 iPad Pros. Both have True Tone, wide color gamut, 600 nit brightness. ultra low reflectivity

True tone display, wide color gamut, 600 nits brightness, HDR, etc
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:43:50 PM
"Our biggest breakthrough is a feature we call ProMotion."
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:44:01 PM
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 6:44:07 PM
HDR is really going mainstream now -- in TVs, in tablets, in phones, in game consoles, etc.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:10 PM
"Able to take unique hardware and software capabilities and dramatically improve our display refresh rate."
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:44:11 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:14 PM
Doubled to 120 Hz

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:31 PM

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:43 PM
"The difference is dramatic. When you scroll, it's buttery smooth."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:54 PM
"With ProMotion, Apple Pencil gets even better."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:44:57 PM
Pencil will work more responsively via ProMotion. 20ms latency
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:44:59 PM
