MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Apple announced Wednesday, September 9 (September 10, Manila time) that it was coming out with a new iPad version called the iPad Pro.

The iPad Pro sports a 12.9-inch display, with 5.6 million pixels and refined multi-touch technology. A new 4-speaker audio design also provides rich sound quality in a sturdy package.

It also takes advantage of an A9X chip, which is 1.8 times faster the A8X in the Air 2. This provides “desktop-class performance,” and combines with a console-class GPU for an impressive experience.

The iPad Pro is faster than 80% of the PCs that shipped in the past 6 months. Graphics are also faster than 90% of those PCs. It also has a 10-hour battery life.
