Apple iPad Pro 9.7 (2016) - User Reviews

  • How does this Ipad compare with 2019 Ipad in performance? they are both in the same price range and I don't know which to go for?

  • The Apple Pencil is far better than the S-Pen

  • Plug it in, it will force the iPad to boot up properly

  • iPad Pro 9.7 better. Better screen, better sound.

  • Please which is between iPad pro 9.7 and iPad 6th generation which has a better performance?

  • Yes of course....

  • About the same performance, Apple A9X is still the beast in gaming.

  • I have the same question..

  • Talking about the latest iOS 12.1 (features, etc.) and especially the Files app which platform/device do you think has a better, more open & bit flexible file management system: an iPad Mini with iOS or a Google Chromebook with Chrome OS? (in relation and comparison with the more robust & more flexible Windows File Manager system).

  • Which is better for gaming, iPad 6th Generation with A10 chip and 6 core graphics or this iPad Pro 1st generation with A9X and 12 core graphics?

  • iPad Pro 9.7 is significantly more powerful (A9X vs A8X in the iPad Air 2). However, iPad Air 2 is still a great tablet, and a better deal.

  • iPad Pro 9.7

  • I pad air 2 or ipad pro 9.7? Which one is best???? Which one give best performance???

  • iPad Pro 9.7 overheats when playing Vainglory... It’s powerful but I hate overheating Even in winter ❄️ still overheat

  • Apple ipad pro 9.7 is very easy to use. It has many features and amazing programs and apps.. Apple ipad pro 9.7 display is good.its has many specifications

  • Did you end up getting the 9.7 ipad pro ?

  • I have ipad 2...aftar update to last os...software crash nobody can fix it

  • How to fix auto reboot?

  • I'm planning to buy this. In fact the ipad already been in shipping. I just curious whats bad about this except high price? And whats best i can do with this?

  • Yes, but sold seperately.

  • Yes

  • I guess it is not that comparable to a phone. It weighs way more, it has a much bigger screen, even if it is gorilla glass (what I think), it has not a good chance, that's like dropping your phone from twice or trice the height (this is some physics calculation)

  • LOL

  • I use it more than using a chunky laptop, know what, it is actually a whole lot more powerful and snappier than a Intel I5 CPU laptop, to be honest.

  • Improved further with i0S 11

  • Enjoyable device. Except it fell less than 2ft onto a tile floor and the display cracked even with the apple case on it, replacing the glass wasn't offered, apple offers replacement with a refurbish device for a price. Less than a 2-foot fall? Ridiculous! Gorilla glass all over the place, flexible screens everywhere, why not here? Premium devices that exists in a mobile environment should never have less than the best available protection. Of course I could have put a bombproof shelter on it but why brag thin qualities. A basic case and a 3 foot drop onto pavement should not be a problem.

  • Wonderfully functional machine - love it.

  • Love it. Much more responsive than the previous models.

  • i need an ipad pro 9.7"

  • How to make a call using Applie iPAd Pro 9.7

  • Can someone please suggest which one is better, the apple pencil or the new s-pen with samsung galaxy tab s3 ? Also regarding speaker, is ipad pro 9.7 better than tab s3 by a wide margin?

  • I see the IPad Pro 9.7 has had a price drop already. Do you think the price will drop even more once the new model is released?

  • Its an amazing device and loving the true tone display and the battery might be a bit on he dark side as it uses a bit of power so expect using this device for a day or if you use it a lot expect it to only go for 4-7 hrs of use but then again its still amazing and the downside the Apple Pencil and the Apple Keyboard is sold separately

  • Does it really have a stylus like galaxy tab?

  • No doubt.... very good device

  • Why no iPad Mini Pro 7.9? It would only weight about 300 grams, not almost 450 grams.

  • Very expensive but will last me 3-4 yrs. 4 speakers is a great improvement and the screen adjusts the blue light automatically for use at night

  • I have had the Air 2 since launch and no slowdowns yet

  • Yes it does at least one time a week

  • i had the air 2 for a long time now. ios is getting worse from update to update. i used to be a simple and native os but now its just a big confusing pile of features and design changes. the pro is totaly overpriced. apple was the best once.

  • Overpriced,just no.

  • iPad pro 9.7 it has better app support and will get software updates for a long time, so you will get the best security and features apple has to offer

  • all of the above

  • Buy Asus zenpad 3s 10.

  • Please, help, ipad pro 9.7, samsung tab s2 or tab s3?

  • Nice

  • yeah, just buy any standard ddr3 ram module, open the iPad up. and install it!

  • Such dude

  • Yes wait for the 2nd generation 9.7 inch ipad pro that comes out in the spring of this year or the fall of this year lol.

  • Looking at getting an iPad Pro but was wondering if the ram can be upgraded to 4gb instead of 2

  • Air 2 27.62 Wh 7340 mAh Pro 9.7 27.91 Wh 7306 mAh

  • You can use their inbuilt Numbers app too

  • I hope you at least you can use 4GB ram i/o 2GB ram... On the other hand, when we use the Ipad Pro 9.7 wifi + cellular, supposedly you can allow that device can run just like phone, can call out and call in... please no more facetime only, expand the capability. Please learn how the other tablet can run just like phone.

  • Amazing screen, Powerful. But they should really have put at least 4gb of ram like the 12.9 version.

  • crap screen

  • U can use ms excel

  • Hey dudes.. Anyone tell me about the iPad pro security options are available in India. Bcoz somebody says there is no tracking a device like find my iphone option will not working in India . Is it true ? After using a Samsung's tabs now I turn into the apple iPad pro ...but little bit worried about its security system. I need this option will be available for me incase I'll lost my iPad or it was stolen,,, lock and track the location of my device,, don't let anyone to reset my iPad without my permission . Finally I'll get back my iPad safely .. It's possible with iPad pro 9.7" lte version in INDIA ....? Thanks buddies...

  • The Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 (2014) edition is a great tablet also. But the IPad Pro holds it own with its built quality it's great.

  • Well it is 2 years newer and more expensive so it is what you expect

  • anyone tell me the shipping weight of iPad pro 9.7" (wifi+sim)

  • every OS lags, i have ios, android and windows phone, but hey, my android lags around 4-5 times than my ios , if my ios lag for example once a day, my android lags around 5x a day

  • Pro is far better than air

  • Non of apple products have micro sd card slot.

  • Can we do accounting work in ipad pro ? Can we make accounts in ipad? Plzz let me know .

  • Got Apple Pencil and its great ! Kid loving to draw and sketch on iPad....

  • Connect to Itunes on PC or Mac and you will be able to restore or reformat the iPad.

  • My I pad pro was disabled after being dealt with by my daughter it is now written I pad disabled connect to I tune can you help how can I fix it

  • Ohhh, my unit is good but how come no GPS for my WIFI version. I very disappointed.

  • My daughter played with my ipad while I was absent and the ipad now is disabled and doesn't accept my finger print and says that I pad is disabled connect to I tune but I don't really know how to fix it as it is my first time to deal with is thank you

  • Arghhh¡ I ordered this tablet and now I learned that it has no card slot.

  • how much time does ipad pro 9.7 takes to recharge?(comparimg to air 2). and the battery strength?

  • Pro is the best.. using it from last 3 months...

  • Can ibook open PDF files easily same on desktop or not ?! And how about office files ? I realy love this ipad, but some limits in apps like i said, hesitant me between this awosome device and an android tablet.

  • of course buy ipad pro 9.7 its the latest ipad by apple... its amazingly great tablet with awesome features....

  • Pro is Best and better than all

  • offcouse buy pro9.7

  • Which one is good to buy.. Air 2 or Pro.Please suggest..

  • ram management is perfect don't worry that it comes with 2 gigs of ram and besides ios is the lightest os so no prob in performence

  • Pro means Apple Pencil and Keyboard support and iPhone 7 performance in early 2016/late 2015. If you really mind the amount of RAM (don't know why, doesn't affect the speed and iPads have modern RAM with LPDDR4 and high clock and good RAM management) go for bigger iPad Pro with 4GB

  • haha highRAM dose not show high quality ,take this out of your mind.

  • Totally failing to see what is PRO about 2gb ram lol

  • install Kingsoft office....

  • yes FaceTime works on all iPads except the very first iPad (because it doesn't have a front facing camera)

  • Search for those apps on the apple app store, although you won't get full functionality since it's a mobile app not a desktop app.

  • and how can i do powerpoint, excel and word in ipad?

  • Anyone having issues in playing videos after iOS 10 update?

  • Updated with ios 10

  • Any apple device on wifi will allow FaceTime calls

  • 26.5gb

  • does ipad pro 9.7 wifi version allow facetime call?

  • 26.5gb

  • No doubt!!!

  • Can the next IPAD Pro series be real desktop replacements? A true IOS/MacOS hybrid. After all its a PRO.

  • You copy files from a computer, not folders. Install a file manager to make folders.

  • The best Tablet in the World !

  • nice

  • How to make folder and copy documents..how to copy pdf or office files to ipad from computer. I used samsung tabs prior and am new to IPad...

  • Excellent! Sheer artwork technology. Was expecting headphones in the box :( Give Applers 1024GB on iCloud

  • yes

  • I've used the iPad Pro 9.7 for 4 months now, it's the best tablet ever to reach my hands, expensive? Yeah, but I don't regret a single dime.

  • Ipad pro 9.7 obviously, the biggest iPhone 7 will only be 5.5" which is way too small. There are apps on the app store that allow you to turn an ipad into a phone using Internet dialing if you buy the LTE version but I don't know if you fancy a 9.7" phone. Personally I have the pro 9.7 so I'm a bit biased but honestly I would wait for the 2nd generation pro 12.9" that probably comes out in November of this year and use that as a 13 inch phone. Bigger is simply better and you will probably get used to the larger size pretty soon. I'm Asian btw so that might explain why I love huge 9.7" and 12.9" phones Haha.

  • Nice tab

  • Can i buy Apple iPad Pro 9.7 or waiting for iPhone 7? need suggestion.

  • That is bigger than the biggest consumereason laptops....

  • Why 20 Inch?? you wanna hang it to your neck??? :P :P

  • Why 20 inch you will be carrying like a computer's screen

  • It would be cool if apple released a 20 inch ipad pro with 4k resolution

  • Hope the next refresh can double as a full Macbook

  • This is brilliant iPad I just had it for 3 months and it working properly. No other device compare with. Worth for your money.

  • Gsmarena where is the iPad Pro 9.7 review?

  • Your perception needs to change a little with regards to this.. The bandwidth between the processor and the ram, and the super fast speed of the storage (these are not budget parts), is more than enough. To reframe, lets take our view away from Apple for a moment. Back when linux and windows were running on boxes with between 128mb of ram and 512mb, linux could run noticably better with around a quarter the memory. (On the same hardware). It was to do with how 'tight' the respective OSs were. Netbooks with 1gb were painfully slow on windows (1.5Gb was the magic minimum number) The same netbook with half a Gb (512Mb) would run linux brilliantly. Android phones, having for a long time now, mostly more than 512Mb of ram, started caching large amounts of software into ram, just in case the user might want to fire something up... So when we started getting 2Gb ram phones it would 'look like' 1.8Gb was being used. Truth is a phone OS should only need be a couple of hundred megabytes. Now, once we get past a minimum required amount, and have more than enough for any apps that we choose to run, we have enough ram. More ram will not make the device faster. Heavy users who multitask a lot between a few large apps might see a benefit of 3Gb over 2Gb (a one-two second less 'pause' when switching is a best case scenario of benefit gained). Now, my android phone has four cores @>2ghz, and 2Gb of ram. It has NEVER filled that ram (and I am a power user). Yet the phone lags a lot, and I am often waiting a second here and a half second there whilst it does basic things. This is due to an unoptimised front end/graphical user interface (GUI). Sure the larger 12.9" ipad has 4Gb of ram. For 5.6 million pixels of screen real estate it might need some extra ram above 2Gb. Apple, with a very tight OS, having started to make 2Gb the 'go to' amount... will be very happy for a long time. 2Gb of ram devices will have quite 'long legs' with regards to updates. 2Gb of high speed ram on a wide bus loading from fast storage for a software/hardware optimised platform ; is fine. There is no comparison (perhaps consoles from last generation and prior).. Now a 6Gb phone? Hahahaha You couldn't make me buy such an unthought out piece of crud. But, people who buy based on synthetic benchmarks and who want spec sheet numbers bragging rights... go right ahead. When some software finally comes out that can make use of this setup, it will be too outdated to be practical. Sure some rare use scenarios/some proffesionals might have a need, but these are exceptions... so lets keep our comments relevant to the people who are here to learn!

  • This is an 'outdated' comment. Whilst Apple has, at times, released new iOS that has worked poorly on older devices (too many optimisations for newer chipsets),.. later releases have corrected this. Now they activate certain packages depending on the hardware that is being used. Sure a slight decrease might happen on some devices three or four years after release, but the added features far outweigh the slight 'pause', whilst memory catches up. (You know things like cut and paste and rudimentary multitasking that earlier iOS didn't have..) The fact is Apple give their devices years of updates and security fixes, and make sure they work with all models (again, I reiterate, there has been a couple of occaisions where a later update was required to restore 'lost performance' on older chipsets). The only reason this has become topic, mostly by platform loyalists to android, is that android 4.4 was made to restore performance to low end devices (it changed the runtimes enough that less resources were being pilfered, and focused on low memory devices; I had an old Galaxy S with 384mb(effective) ram that gained heaps of performance when 4.4 hit). iOS has been adding so much with recent releases, and the long time support they give, and the option to upgrade if users want the new features- is brilliant. I have had a Galaxy Note Edge for twenty months, was in one of the first territories it was released- still waiting for Marshmallow! (And security fixes). Sure Android users can tell me to buy Nexus (googles own branded parts designed around their vanilla OS)for more immediate rollouts (or motorola or HTC etc),.. or I can stick with the Apple ecosystem where I get highly optimised hardware and software. (Windows phone used to run rings around Android for battery efficiency etc) Truth is Android is a jack of all trades device. If so much of my tech support callouts didn't require a windows platform, I could no doubt use my android phone for everything (something apple and winphone not consistantly help me with). As it is, my productivity (as do many others) goes vastly up in an Apple ecosystem. iOS instancing all software the way it does, doesn't make it easy to open up the filesystem or make 'multiuser'.. and for many people; this ease of use is a great strength. Sure techies get more out of android, or can.. but they shouldn't go around, based on spec sheets, bash Apple. Just like a 1Terabyte drive might come in varying speeds, the average 'spec sheets' will just list capacity. The numbers that truly matter are often never listed. Apple is the same. I would much rather 2Gb of high speed memory access than 4Gb of 'shared with the video card' small bus and slow spped types. However, to the layman, 4Gb sounds 'better' than 2Gb. In the case I just suggested the 2Gb would run rings around the slow ass 4Gb and 'extra memory' can only help speed things up if you are out of memory. Something phones have been far from doing for yonks. In fact android just fills all the memory with programs a user might load just in case... a way of speeding things up(potentially). The problem is the slow memory used in budget devices can take a long time to clear and load new programs/libraries into. Especially when paired with slow speed storage. Apple doesn't try to go toe to toe with spec sheet numbers because they alway use the best parts for the function needed. Sure my processor in my ipad is only dual core. With six video cores, each with two units, each with 32 odd 'shaders'. Which, iOS can use to do a lot of cool stuff, and is written to utilise. Android being a great big collection of software than can run on a huge variety of hardware configs is not going to utilise such raw grunt very effectively. To the user? Shorter battery life, hotter unit, likely to slow down under load etc etc. But lets all brag about synthetic benchmark results, and convince our family to buy the cheapest knockoffs they can, cause you know, owning a piece of tech for greater than a year or two is ethical and kind to our planet....

  • Hugely incorrect. Your statement holds true for cheap parts. People who buy tech based on *spec sheets* often miss critical info. Upscaling chips and the 'software' side of things makes a huge difference. OS X (the basis for iOS) was designed to handle everything like an infinitely zoomable pdf. It is built/designed to do so- Jobs was an ardent caligrapher, and Apple always owned desktop publishing because of this (true type / what you see is what you get). A higher resolution screen offers more points that can be half toned or estimated/averaged based off source- if the chips driving the display/software are intelligent enough, vast improvements can be made. Does an upscaling player look better on a standard res display, or one that can realise more of the 'improvement'? Whilst I am no advocater for 4K (I prefer high contrast accurate colour at a usable pixels per inch- and have no issue with 1280x720 on a 100" screen... I do truly appreciate my note 4, and ipad pro (12.9") as brilliant screens. Sure I am a photography enthusiast- having 5.6million pixels on an A4 sized screen is freaking awesome. Sure I would have preferred true tone, but I bought before the 9.7" was announced...

  • Not sure in which software you are having this issue. I have found twenty or so drawing apps that reject palm input very well. Still looking for one that allows the hand to smudge whilst the pencil draws (paper by 53 can do this for their own stylus).. I DO RECOMMEND you turn OFF multifinger gestures in the settings for the ipad (as do most of the art programs); otherwise issues like what you have been expieriencing can happen. Which app is this happening in?

  • yeah me tooo wtf

  • 12MP vs 8MP

  • how much space get free on a 32gb version..??

  • I want this so bad.....😎

  • I'm pretty sure I want the iPad pro 9.7 not the 12.9 one because I don't have a specific reason to get the bigger one. besides, the smaller one has a better camera, better portability, and works just as well.

  • It is not a phone, its an ipad.

  • yes i like this phone

  • i luv u

  • i have issues in using ipad pro 9.7 stylus pen. It is recognizing my hand also as dots while i am writing. So i cant save the file as it is not clear and having dots in the sheet. Contacted Apple Customer care for n number of times but there is no proper response from apple side. Apple Stylus pen is "Waste of money". Even Samsung galaxy note 3 works really really good with Stylus even-though android is open source . But in Apple it is not working...

  • you can but you need to request a desktop version of the site, then you can use

  • High resolution screen zoom in a picture have a HIGHER chance to be blurry compared to a lower resolution screen.. Have you tried watching a 720p video on a 4k screen? Blurry right? compared to a 720p video on a 1080p screen. Higher resolution screen always wants a higher resolution picture. Its a never ending catching up. And in the end your CPU / GPU / RAM / STORAGE all get consume for nothing that your EYES can see. Better make a balanced device, then a lob sided laggy POS.. most android fails to realise this.. and their phone either lag / overheat / blurry or whatever.... and they blame the unoptimised Android for nothing LOL.. most fault is on the hardware makers.

  • The limitations of the human eye is precisely the reason why manufacturers should strive for high resolutions. Without high resolutions, pictures becomes blurry when you zoomed on it.

  • Well said...

  • Have human eyes specs improved? NO!! Human eyes still remain the same for thousands of years, retina, just make sure human eyes cannot see the dots, its enough! Focus on something more important: Weight / Battery life / Performance, once those are addressed.. then think about display resolution... Now you know why some android phone lag for no reason right? Hahaha

  • Low screen resolution of 264 ppi ??? Is this a joke? the SAME 264 ppi for 5 YEARS of iPads ????

  • i have whats app on mine.

  • no you cannot used whatsapp on it

  • nice config

  • Is it true I can use whatsapp on it?

  • Not really,I mean is better than air 2 but a lot better?no it isn't,the main differences is the speed on the processor which is faster of course but not a lot faster,the air 2 holds its own very well and the quad speakers(which I love)but other than that not worth the extra $150,it has other upgrades like the camera but most people don't use a tablet camera as their main camera instead they use their iPhone's camera so I didn't mention it as a plus.

  • worth upgrading from iPad air 2?

  • So far it's a great tablet

  • it is so nice i like that and there is no problem

  • You can use whatsapp web

  • Every thing is good except Whatsapp is not available It is painful Somebody if know please share information

  • Hmm. Soo whats your problem with this device? Best screen under sunlight. Best performance of its size class. Best storage size. Best pen performance None of those android tablets came close to iPad Air 2. Let alone this one in terms of performance.. And we are still not talking about tablet optimised apps! And by the looks of you, can own both samsung tablets and iPhones, it shouldn't be an issue with money neither!

  • This one's disappointing! All the marketing talk about the "powerful" A9X chip and retina screen, turns out my older Tab S 8.4 LTE & Note Pro 12.2 LTE on running regular day to day workload & surfing or movie streaming already outperforms this fella with beautiful true to life color, clarity and sharpness. The only good thing about this fella is its 4 speakers & pencil that writes & sketches almost indistinguishable from the real thing with almost or no lag. Other that that... Sigh. I switched from Iphone 4 to 4s to 5 & 5s to Note 2, 3 & 4 thought of giving another try at Apple with iPad Pro 9.7 but I must say that I am considerably let down. A 64bit processor eaten whole by 32bit processors from earlier era's for basic day to day stuff. Guess I'll just continue with the korean brand, heard lately about Apple purchasing OLEDs from Samsung for their future phone release? Stevie, why did you leave so soon?

  • You should be saying that Samsung is following Nokia footstep. Samsung came out too much model same as Nokia. I know you anti apple.

  • Bought one already, Gold - 32 GB, with Apple Pencil (for $78). I have the pencil but the tablet hasn't been shipped yet 😈

  • Did you see the performance and talk about it??!! No need to test, because it has same ram as Air2. Also same as a 4" iphone!!! In next Gen you'll see the Ram upgrade and you can enjoy your 9.7 pro with 2gig ram or pay more money to buy a new one.

  • Just see the performance Then talk about Ram etc Performance is outstanding Openion by people is for shake of openion

  • Insingle word it is Outstanding in every diamention Just no one can beat at present This 9.7 pro is using since16/04/2016

  • I bought Cherry Mobile Flare S4 and it's really awesome .:)

  • Can't wait for the Apple iPad Pro 7.9 model. It's so much lighter. The bigger 9.7 is about 50% heavier at almost 450g!

  • Its so good

  • I will get this Masterpiece this year . To buy a way too much expensive iphone 7, rather the smaller SE. and get this beast of a tablet and enjoy quality screen resolution for your games and videos. The Camera is just what most smart phones will make noise over . this ia a must get . trust me.

  • I have answered your comment in my explanations.

  • its the matter of time..... Apple will follow the footstep of Nokia... its the mater of time ppl will wake up

  • Clearly you don't know how swap memory works. + The bigger the resolution, the more RAM is needed for graphics to work. Hence the 2GB difference.

  • You probably said the same regarding Ipad Air with 1 GB ram. Browse it in internet to see the problems.

  • 1000+ in euros. Are you crazy or you think we all are family of Cornelius Wanderbilt??? Thats too much for even this crazy device.

  • NBA 2K16 and Heavy Loaded Memory Games plays with my Cherry Mobile Flare 5S yeah. hehe

  • hehe I dunno that game brO. :D Is that RPG? hehe

  • It is not like that I have iPad 4 with iOS 9.3.1 in it.it works flawlessly with the the new iOS 9.3.1 Apple is more stable than android so lag is very little

  • I do aprove I belive this is apple's tactics along side developers...burst them with new os but old devices make them lag as shit...I mean fifa 16 works on iphone 5s but not 5 almost same specs...and many others They wanna make ppl invest in new tech so they make profit while on the down side of things they dont invest as much in spec wise I own a 16gb 6s and trust me paying premium for a product (here 800euros) and to see that insted of 2gb of ram 3gb would have cost 10more euros and insted of 16gb 32 would have cost like 6-7$ that cheapness will be there down fall

  • iPad Air 2 or iPad pro? I'm thinking of buying one of these..

  • 2 giga of ram in ios op is more enough

  • cpu is too slow. so I think it'll work slowly.

  • Ipad pro 9.7 has 2gig of Ram like a 4-inch phone and they say you can replace it with a PC!! If 2gig of Ram is enogh so why the Pro 12.9" has 4gig? Or why SE as a small phone has improved?! Any way Im using my Air 2 and waiting for next generation

  • Upgrading the ios fixes the lag and other issues like slowness!

  • I am waiting so badly to buy this in India. The ram is a disappointment but I wil still get it..

  • It was on my buying list till I saw the (2GB) ram! Apple you are earning so much money, so why you avoid investing an extra 50 cent to put 3 or 4 GB ram?! Really ?! Do you see the same usage for iphone SE and Ipad pro equipping them both with 2GB ram?!!!

  • Then you should try Vainglory on your ipad. So much better than dota 2

  • Your ipad will work flawless as long as you buy it with the earliest version of IOS that was used at the release of the tablet. (For example Ipad mini 2 with IOS 7). Just remember not to upgrade your IOS version because it will seriously lag.

  • iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S and 6/6 Plus they all lag and Apple is doing this on purpose to force people to buy newer devices.

  • haha, you're joking dude right? impossible :D but it sounds cool if dota or even dota 2 will work on that handset. yeah can't wait if that happen soon in the near future. :)

  • Specs-wise, it will not, because it runs on A similar chipset to the one inside this BEAST of a tablet. Apple's A9 (iPhone 6S, 6S+, SE) and A9X (iPad Pro 9.7) are the fastest among mobile chipsets as of yet. And, if I may add, iOS is more lag-proof than any other mobile OS available. (*clears throat and mutters 'Hmph, android!')

  • can you play dota 2 with this?

  • 2gb ram gtfo

  • Too bad there are no games on the App Store to take advantage of the faster GPU. I'm sticking with my iPad Air 2.

  • 2gb RAM must be at least 3gb, 1st generation Touch ID must be 2nd generation, and usb v2,0 must be v3,0

  • I think you mean cult base.

  • Apple will never fail. Their fanbase is too big

  • 2gb of ram + a9x = a beast. Don't need more than 2gb of ram for ios to run fantastically. (coming from an android user)

  • i m genuine and honest samsung lover .........and i used and using samsung flagship deviceses..........but i fell in love with this tablet ... superb specification.... A9 chipset is a beast in performance is no doubt about it....but camera with ....FLASH...........THIS is gone a superb thing for this..........i will buy this tab.......first time ever i buy APPLE product........

  • it will lag??? I use apple iPads for 3 years and they don't lag at all.

  • "duel SIM" - An arranged engagement in combat between two individuals? What kind of tablet devices are you buying? Probably best to get one with a spell checker. Have you thought of the new Apple Crayon?

  • What the point of having a 2 gb ram tablet in 2016, come on apple considering the price ! And when the next Ios update comes it will Lag ! Just like the Ipad air 2 tsssssss

  • iPhone 6 not as good as previous iphones

  • when duel sim?

  • Am atrue fan of apple products just of recent in jan 2015 bought iphone 6 from dubai duty free just to use only the iphone for 3 months and everything shut down.untill at this moment that you read this message i feel like to immediately through it in a toilet how can the manufacturers of this products not care about this kind of products am absolutely discouraged .i dont think i will ever buy any apple products again.guys watch out.

  • 2GB RAM?? They don't show any respect to customers while they can give 3 GB RAM Their upgrade is so boring now Next edition will come with 3 GB RAM. That's all. No more surprise. They follow the path of Nokia falling

  • is iphone se good for heavy games and or does it lag in between

  • sony the one who will answer your request!

  • dont say it do it

  • It will not lag in IOS 11 because now it has good processor and ram. Which helps to keep up with better performance software.

  • No its 4 GRam

  • Don't think so. True tone is the kind of things that really do not add to the hardware or the experience, is more like a promotional subject for the week of mind. I really like the idea of 4gb of ram and more processor, but a tab s2 have 2/3 of the memory available most of the time, and actually for table purpose now all processors at high end tablets are more than enough for instant functionality. If you want to do professional work you still have to go to cisc processors, sorry but that's the true. Still is a good tablet and I'm gonna make it a good gift of it for someone else that is already in the spider Web of apple, an is happy been suck and suckered by Apple. Me still able to gift one of these, prefer to buy a more free environment.

  • Only 2GB Ram?????????????

  • can download system from here?

  • I need 4k display,

  • Apple could have done right it was perfect till I found out it has 2GB ram -_-

  • 5 years !! 2012-2016 5 generations with the same ppi screens !! simply incredible lol

  • It has 2 GB ram not 4 GB

  • This ipad is going to blast through the specs and the true tone display will definitely add to its worth and performance. Apple once again put the rivals in trouble.........a really very powerful device ipad pro 9.7 is....!!!!!

  • Ipad and Iphone is never future proof you will get IOS 10 and 11 and lag on 11.

  • while it is nice that gsmarena show the devices specifications, these specifications are sometimes wrong and based merely on rumors. Apple has not mentioned anything regarding the RAM size, which I spent all the day trying to get this information. Many people hint it has the same specifications as ipad pro 12.9 but apple only mentioned the processor. for me personally, this is a very expensive tablet, but if the RAM size is 4GB, I will buy the 32GB as a tablet (hopefully future proof for the next 4-5 years).

  • thats great ... an pic was unexpacted

  • this is basically ipad air 3, and "PRO" means nothing...

  • You know whats funny, they ditched the 16gb storage but they also ditched the 64gb... and Introduced a 32gb for $599 .... and an additional $200 dollars for the storage upgrade which is for the 128gb. Nice move apple you did it again ! SUCH A REALLY STUPID AND OBVIOUS MONEY STRATEGY THAT WON'T FOOL ME.

  • 1). 6.1 mm is ok but i think the screen blur problem will continue again like ipad air 2 ,because when we press or hard holding the back panel will get blur on the screen due to very thin. 2). Still we miss GSM voice call and SMS option is not available in ipad , but in some android tablets these GSM option is available. 3). But anyway apple now improved much more .

  • this is the most powerful device apple have made so far and it's the best introduces technology. for those who are asking for 3d touch functionality. how would you control your finger pressure over a 9.7 inch screen. it's gonna be useless. plus, the pencil and the keyboard make it a very competitive substitute for macbook air and macbook12. I'd buy the 256 gb wifi+LTE with the pencile and the keyboard for $1300

  • It is a small adapter; plugs into lightning port. Micro SD cards need to go into a micro-to-sd card first....

  • WOW this ipad pro is really good and power.....this is what i call premium .hahahaha

  • I agree dude, but even worse they make money when you buy the actual device too. It's all a total con and they make profit out of every sale. Bizarre.

  • Say what u like about this tablet its the best i see so far screen size just right and camera is what i want with flash. CPU and graphics just great, 4K and other features what more can u ask for. The only thing is the price and i don't really care about that cause apple make great devices and this is the best i see so far

  • Small ? Quad speakers,better screen,doubled the RAM,doubled the CPU & GPU speed,doubled the storage etc

  • Yup just like what i said before the 256GB that Ssheepsung made is for Apple

  • Game over !

  • Haha.. Lol..

  • Too bad Intelligence is lacking in our society today.

  • Yes and 1200 eur price. You can keep it. No intelligent person will EVER buy this overpriced device. Anyway on market anyone can find good tablet under 200 euros.

  • No 3D touch = no sale

  • expensive and useless. waste money on it. Apple make money if you buy apps in its app store. ios is closed-style operating system, no usb port, just a such as a garbage stuff.

  • Just a small upgrade over ipad air 2

  • Best 9.7" I pad ever

  • where's the sd card slot

  • Nice gadget.
