San Francisco: After supersizing the iPhone last year, Apple has followed suit and made an even bigger iPad. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the Indominus Rex of Apple tablets, as well as the company's first bona fide 2-in-1 PC.

Sure, it is a large iPad with over 5 million pixels as well as loud orientation-sensing quad speakers and various refinements, but the real surprise is how iPad Pro effortly blends the best upcoming features of Mac OS El Capitan (better windowing, multitasking) with the best that iOS 9 has to offer.

This hybrid is a true post-PC device and has compelling features for enterprise users or anyone shying away from notebooks as well as the first true Apple stylus creation since the Newton. iPad Pro completes what was lacking with iPad Air (keyboard, stylus input) and the larger form factor and more powerful processor gives it an advantage over larger and more expensive 2-in-1 devices.

That Apple managed to get the interest and support of former frenemies Adobe and Microsoft, who see the iPad Pro as an important platform that they've created tailored apps and experiences for it, shows that the this iPad will be great for content creation as well as content consumption. Check out the footage shot at the super-busy and super-crowded Apple demo area during yesterday's launch event.
