Apple's iPad Pro gets biggest design and performance overhaul for 2018

Where the iPhone treads, the iPad soon follows. For 2018, Apple is revealing an all-new redesigned iPad Pro in 11 and 12.9-inch sizes. Now with edge-to-edge and near bezel-free displays, Face ID,  USB Type C and upgraded processors with up to 1 Terabyte of storage, the iPad Pro is starting to look like the PC killer that was promised.

Also new are the Apple Pencil and the Keyboard Cover, which offer refinements over previous versions. The all-new design pushes 11-inch and 12.9-inch Liquid Retina displays to the edges of iPad Pro and integrates Face ID to securely unlock iPad with just a glance.

The A12X Bionic chip with next-generation Neural Engine in iPad Pro outperforms many PC laptops and offers a new USB-C connector, Gigabit-class LTE, and up to 1TB of storage to enable powerful new mobile workflows.

The new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be available in silver and space grey finishes in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB configurations as well as a new 1TB option. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at  $999 (CAD) for the Wi-Fi model and $1199 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,249 (CAD) for the Wi-Fi model and $1,449 (CAD) for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model
