Apple Event Live Blog: Aw look! It’s a baby iPad Pro! 9.7-inch iPad with Apple Pencil Support

9.7-inch iPad Apple released today is the second iPad Pro. With over 1 million apps in the App Store for iPad and 600 million iPads active that are over five years old, Apple saw a market for a smaller laptop replacement. Even though the original iPad Pro is still fairly new, the iPad Pro line-up is clearly taking over. 

The newest iPad Pro has the lowest reflectivity of any iPad but is the brightest tablet available. “It’s the best display we’ve ever built for iPad,” Apple says of the new product. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro will be compatible with Night Shift Mode. It has a true tone display and becomes warmer or cooler to match paperwhite, “It is quite a breakthrough.”
