Apple officially unveils the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro



Same Apple A9X SoC, 4GB of RAM and True-Tone display
As expected, Apple has unveiled the new iPad Pro which will be based on the same SoC as the previously available 12.9-inch iPad Pro but packed behind a 9.7-inch 2048x1536 IPS True-Tone display.

Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad Pro lands just between the earlier available iPad Air 2 and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, with the same Apple A9X Twister SoC and with PowerVR 12 Cluster Series 7XT GPU. Unfortunately, Apple has not unviled the precise clocks or the amount of RAM but it is safe to assume that these would be the same as on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which was clocked at 2.26GHz and came with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM.
Despite having a smaller display, which leaves it with exactly the same dimensions and weight as the iPad Air 2, 240x169.5x6.1mm and 437g, the new iPad Pro with 9.7-inch IPS panel with 2048x1536 resolution ends up with the same 264 ppi pixel density as the 12.9-inch 2732x2048 iPad Pro.

The biggest update is the new 9.7-inch True Tone display, which has 500 nits of brightness, wide color gamut (DCI-P3) and actually measures the ambient brightness and color temperature and adjusts the display accordingly. The display is still fully laminated and comes with fingerprint-resistant and anti-reflective coating.
In the camera department you get a rear 12-megapixel camer and a 5-megapixel front one, which is a significant upgrade from 8MP/1.2MP on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This also means that the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro brings 4K video recording at 30fps and 1080p recording at 60fps. It still comes with the same connectivity option, like Cat.4 LTE, GPS/GNSS, dual-band 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 and and optional nano-SIM as well as the same four speakers and support for Apple Pencil.
It runs on newly introduced Apple iOS 9.3, which will also be coming to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and it comes with a 27.5Wh battery, which is quite weaker compared to 38.5Wh on the 12.9-inch version.
The new 9.7-inch iPad Pro will be available in Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold color options and 32GB, 128GB and 256GB for both WiFi-only and Cellular-enabled version.
The new 9.7-inch iPad Pro will be available for pre-order as of March 24th and will be shipping on March 31st. The starts at US $599 for the 32GB WiFi-only versions and climbs up to US $1,029 for the 256GB WiFi + Cellular version.
