Apple iPad Pro sales start this week

Apple’s super-sized iPad Pro was announced last month but its official sale date has only just been announced.

Apple has said that it might take a few additional days for the iPad Pro to make it into its retail stores, but online sales will begin on Wednesday.

The newest version of the Apple slate comes packing a 12.9-inch Retina display, 64-bit A9x chipset as well as a claimed 10-hour battery life.

There will also be a range of accessories, including the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, which Apple claims turns the device into a real productivity powerhouse.

The entry-level Pro will cost you from $799 for a 32GB, Wi-Fi only version and $1,079 for the mobile data equipped 128GB model.

Naturally, those lovely accessories you’ll need to make the most of the fruity pro-slab are priced separately – $99 will get you the Pencil and another $169 will be needed for the Smart Keyboard.
