Review ipad pro 10.5

The iPad is in a curious place. When the first iPad hit store shelves in 2010, it sold like hot cakes. 3 million in under 3 months, 15 million in over a year, are figures that any company executive will kill for. And now, almost 7 years later, Apple has sold over 350 million iPads. Surely, it won’t be wrong to say that the iPad has been one of Apple’s most successful products.

However, we consumers are a finicky bunch. In 2014, slightly less than 4 years after the iPad was introduced, sales started to dip. More worrying is that it has never recovered since. That’s not to say that sales of iPads are in the doldrums. Oh no, Apple is still selling millions of iPads. In Q4 of 2016, Apple sold over 9.2 million units. Plus, it still holds a commanding share of the market at around 24%. Second place Samsung is quite a long way back with just over 15%. So while the iPad is in decline, but it is premature to say that it is in trouble.

Still, Apple is not just going to sit around and wait for things to happen and came up with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in late November 2015. They then followed up with the smaller 9.7-inch iPad Pro last year. And now, there's a new iPad Pro in the house and it comes with a 10.5-inch display. Why 10.5-inch? And what’s new with this iPad? Let us break it down for you.
