Having sold over 400 million iPads since it’s launch in 2010, Apple’s iPad is still the most popular tablet device to-date. And according to Apple, they sold over 40 million iPads last year. That is more than the top-selling laptop brands in the world. With the new design and Face ID features, the new iPad Pros are such sexy beasts. We love the edge-to-edge Liquid Retina Display at 11″ and 12.9″ variants. The new iPad Pros are also thinner than before at only 5.9mm thin.
And it is now more powerful and smarter with the new A12X Bionic chipset that comes with next-generation Neural Engine for the most demanding computing tasks like editing photos or creating 3D models faster and more responsive. Apple also claims that the new iPad Pro’s processing power will outperform 92% of laptops currently in the market.

Along with the aesthetic and hardware upgrade, Apple and Adobe collaborated to bring us the full-fledged Photoshop software to the new iPad Pro. With new USB C connector port, now you can directly download your pictures from your DSLRs to the iPad Pro for on-the-go edits. The new Photoshop CC app will be available on the App Store from 2019, and it is fully integrated to work seamlessly with 2nd generation Apple Pencil that comes with a new tapping command via a touch sensor. The new Apple Pencil will also be magnetically attached to iPad Pro and wirelessly charges at the same time for added convenience. With a USB-C, the iPad Pro can even be used to charge an iPhone during an emergency.
Advanced cameras and sensors and improved four-speaker audio combine with the power of A12X Bionic to turn iPad Pro, with its large viewfinder, into the best device ever for AR.

Adobe’s Project Aero (coming 2019) will enable creators to design experiences that take AR on iPad even further.
