The device also has a new 64 A9X chip, which Apple claims is 1.8 times faster than the older A8 chip.
Available in silver, gold, and space gray, the 32GB Wi-Fi version will set you back $799, though there is a 128GB Wi-Fi version that will cost you $949, and a 128GB LTE incarnation that will require 1,049 of your hard-earned dollars.

“The early response to iPad Pro from app developers and our customers has been incredible, and we’re excited to get iPad Pro into the hands of customers around the world this week,” said Schiller in a press release.
At the iPad Pro event in September, Apple also announced a new Apple Pencil stylus that can be used to write or draw on the iPad Pro. This, too, will go on sale from Wednesday, for $99.
The iPad Pro will be available in the U.S., U.K., and much of Europe, as well as China, Australia, Canada, and Japan.
