Apple iPad Pro release date set for Nov. 11
The release date only pertains to the U.S., however.
Apple iPad Pro rumours now suggest the large-sized tablet will be available for purchase from Nov. 11. The tablet was officially announced by Apple in September. At that time, however, Apple only said the new tablet would be available in November without revealing the precise date.
Apple has asked its Apple Store representatives to finish training sessions on the iPad Pro by Nov. 6, according to 9 to 5 Mac. The website said Apple will begin selling the iPad Pro from Nov. 11 through its online and physical retail outlets.
Even the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard accessories will be available from Nov. 11. The iPad Pro release date of Nov. 11 only pertains to the U.S., however.
Previous speculation indicated that preorders for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will start Nov. 2 with the tablet being available at stores by Nov. 6. Since the Cupertino company hasn’t made any announcements about these dates, however, it’s likely the iPad Pro will be released later in the month.
The website didn’t mention if Apple will start with preorders of the iPad Pro. The large-sized tablet is said to be niche product since Apple has asked its supply chain to build only 2.5 million units for the rest of the year, Digitimes reported. It’s also rumoured that Apple has placed an order for limited numbers of the iPad Pro for the first quarter of 2016.
The 32 GB and 128 GB iPad Pro with only a Wi-Fi connection will be available for $799 (AU$1,194) and $949 (AU$1,329), respectively. The other 128 GB variant that supports both Wi-Fi and LTE is priced at $1,079 (AU$1,512).
To avail the optional Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard accessories, buyers will have to shell out $99 (AU$138) and $169 (AU$236), respectively.
