Size does matter: With screen real estate galore and a PC-beating processor, the iPad Pro delivers even for gamers
High-res images offer stunning graphics and even restore old movies to their former glory, while four-speaker audio adds another level of entertainment to Apple’s latest flagship tablet, as the Post’s review reveals
The iPad Pro, the super-sized tablet from Apple, is now available in more than 40 markets, including mainland China and Hong Kong.
Mobile network operator 3 Hong Kong, part of tycoon Li ka-shing’s Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong, was the first carrier in the city to offer the device, promising "a range of attractive data plans” on its 4G service.
Apple on Wednesday initially started accepting online orders for the device, which features its 12.9-inch high-definition Retina display and proprietary A9X processor.
Many analysts see the US technology giant’s introduction of a larger tablet, with processor performance rivalling that of most notebook computers, as a response to slowing tablet sales around the world and the strong demand for big-screen smartphones.
“We continue to get feedback that tablet users are holding onto devices upwards of four years,” Ryan Reith, a director at research firm IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Trackers program, said in a recent report.
“With shipment volumes slowing over four consecutive quarters, the market appears to be in transition.”
