Introduced at today's Apple event, the iPad Pro is a super-sized version of the original iPad (starting at $800), but with a few new tricks up its sleeve. The biggest update is obviously the screen. This is the first screen from Apple that has a variable refresh rate on the 5.6 million pixel display, and they've got some new touch sensitivity built-in that lets you draw and move around the screen more precisely. That's necessary when you're using their new Pencil stylus.

Here's an intro video for the iPad Pro:

We've also got some new Apps from Adobe that will only be available on the iPad Pro, and I would expect that these are going to be the sort of thing that make the experience worth it, especially since you're losing a lot of the functionality of a laptop — and the iPad Pro is huge:

Video editing is also going to be a much nicer experience considering how big the screen is. Apparently the new iMovie can edit a number of 4K streams at once:

Besides the stylus, they've also got a keyboard:

The iPad Pro is expected to be available this November.

iPad Mini 4

In addition, the company introduced a new iPad Mini 4, which takes the power of the iPad Air 2 and puts it into a smaller package.
