Along with its newest toy, Apple also included a couple of nifty gadgets that go with the iPad Pro: the smart keyboard and the iPad Pencil.

Other features that were mentioned in various tech predictions before the event were also present during the unveiling. The new iPad Pro uses the new split screen app on the new iOS 9 and has a 5K retina display similar to its iMac products. It also uses the new A9X processor, which Apple claims is almost twice as fast as the previous chip.

Apple also claims that their newest toy has doubled the the graphics performance and is faster than 90% of all the portable PCs that were shipped the last 12 months. To top it off, Apple also says that the iPad Pro will last 10 hours on battery with the ability to edit three streams of 4K videos simultaneously.
