Today, during the WWDC 2017 keynote, Apple unveiled an all-new 10.5-inch iPad Pro. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro has been in rumors for quite some time now and the company has finally announced it. Hit the jump to learn more about the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
Following months of rumors, Apple has finally introduced the 10.5 inch iPad Pro. Here are the key features of this new 10.5-inch iPad Pro along with specs, price and the release date.
Body and display
As expected, despite having a larger 10.5-inch display, this new iPad Pro comes in a size of a 9.7-inch iPad Pro, thanks to the minimized bezels around the display. The shrunken bezels have made it possible to fit a bigger display in a smaller body.The company says that the border of this new iPad Pro have been reduced by 40% and weighs just one pound.
The 10.5-inch iPad Pro gets a True Tone display, wide color gamut, low reflectivity, 600 nits of brightness (50% brighter), and HDR video. The new ProMotion feature allows the display to refresh at a rate of 120Hz which is double the refresh rate of the previous generation. This will make the motion “smoother, crisper, and more responsive” and would work better with Apple Pencil. In order to save power, the iPad is capable of adjusting the refreshed rate based on what you are doing. For instance, for a still image, it can go down to 24Hz
When turned to landscape mode, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro gets a full-size onscreen keyboard. The company has also introduced a full-size smart keyboard for this new iPad Pro.
