When Apple launched the 12.9" iPad Pro last year , it created a bit of a ripple in the iPad community and many worried whether Apple is really set on killing off the iconic tablet size from its lineup , but today ,Apple has one again showed its commitment to keep the iPad line updated by introducing a new iPad Pro - now in 9.7" flavor .

The new iPad , launched along side the pocket friendly iPhone SE packs iOS 9.3 - the latest iteration of the iOS 9 platform . The new iPad , which is said to bring down the same Apple pencil based experience is now slightly more expensive than the outgoing iPad Air 2 ( $599 ,$699 and $799 ),but these new additions to the 9.7 " iPad transforms the tablet from being a media focused system to a semi workhorse tablet .
