Apple iPad Pro 11-Inch (2018)
The variations of the 2018 model include the Wi-Fi only version, featuring dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, and its Wi-Fi and Cellular supportive sibling. Aside this variation in the two models’ connectivity attributes, the two share otherwise undifferentiated specifications. Apple also offers a variety of the iPad’s storage capacity options, starting from 64 GB (exclusively presented in the Wi-Fi-only version) at $799 and up to its 1TB model at $1549.
Compared to its Wi-Fi only predecessor, the two models are of the same physical size, while the later device is configured with a larger display and a more powerful architecture. The 2018 model had been the first series of the iPad to have provided USB-C, allowing for a whole range of possibilities its Lightning predecessor was not able to offer.
Alongside its new iPad, Apple introduced a new Apple Pencil, with its new capability for wireless charging, a double tap feature allowing the change of tools within apple, and a magnet sticking to the side of the iPad.
