Apple is known for launching some of the amazing devices. The technology giant has recently unveiled Apple iPad Pro, a powerful device for sure. It looks like the bigger version of iPad Air; and it does not come alone as it is supported by its stylus, the Apple Pencil.
When Steve Jobs first introduced the iPhone, he said that nobody wants a stylus, and that the best pointing device is our finger. And yet, a stylus is a much more precise input device that makes a lot of sense when it comes to graphic design, photo editing and many other content creation use cases.
The Apple pencil detects position, force and tilt. It looks like the ISKN smart surface or the Adobe Digital Pen and could easily replace your Wacom tablet. It features a lightning connector so that you can charge it directly to your iPad when you are not using it. App developers will be able to take advantage of this stylus.

Eric Snowden from Adobe demoed Adobe Photoshop FX, a brand new app. As expected, you can draw using the stylus. Overall, it seems like this stylus works quite well. When you draw something, it appears instantly on the screen. |

Apple iPad Pro Specs & Features
The new iPad Pro uses a 12.9-inch display (2732 x 2048 resolution with 264 ppi), and makes use of the new split screen app features of iOS 9. The width of the iPad Pro is the same as the height of the iPad Air 2. "It can do things that a smartphone doesn’t do because it doesn’t have to sit in your pocket," says Apple's Phil Schiller. Apple is using the same technology from its iMac with Retina 5K display to bring the iPad Pro pixels to life. "For the first time in an Apple display, it has a variable refresh rate," explains Schiller. This means Apple can slow the display down and save battery.
Expected Price
The expected price of Apple iPad Pro is 9650 PKR in Pakistan. The Apple Pencil is going to cost 10500 PKR. It remains to be confirmed whether this stylus can work with existing iPads. It will be available in Pakistan in few months time.
