Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller speaks about the prices for iPad Pro on stage during a Special Event at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium September 9, 2015 in San Francisco, California.Stephen Lam—Getty Images  by [Alex Fitzpatrick](/author/alex-fitzpatrick/)  ## Alex Fitzpatrick Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Nov 9, 2015 1:18 PM CUT Apple’s biggest tablet ever, the iPad Pro, will be available for order on the company’s website this Wednesday, the company announced Monday. The tablet will appear in retail locations beginning later this week. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is aimed squarely at professionals and creatives. It has a high-resolution Retina display as well as new productivity-minded accessories, including a stylus called the Apple Pencil and a keyboard case reminiscent of that found on Microsoft’s Surface lineup. It has a faster processor than its predecessors, though it’s slightly thicker than the iPad Air. The iPad Pro starts at $799 for a 32GB model without a cellular data connection. The Apple Pencil runs an extra $99, while the “Smart Keyboard” costs $169. Apple’s new beefed-up iPad comes as overall tablet sales [declined](http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS25989015 "undefined") 12.6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2015, according to IDC. Apple and other tablet makers have shifted their focus from consumers to professional users in an effort to reverse that trend. Still, it’s unclear if bigger, more powerful tablets will get corporate IT departments to bite in significant numbers. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/"},"headline":"Here's When Apple's Biggest iPad Ever Goes On Sale","datePublished":"2015-11-09T13:18:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:06:55.236Z","description":"It sits somewhere between a regular iPad and a laptop","url":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","Gadgets","Tablets","iPad","iPad Pro"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3fce7e4a53846f08/698870193c16394b4745a9c8/gettyimages-487395802.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3fce7e4a53846f08/698870193c16394b4745a9c8/gettyimages-487395802.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Apple Unveils New Versions Of iPhone 6, Apple TV","caption":"Apple Unveils New Versions Of iPhone 6, Apple TV","creditText":"Stephen Lam—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/","name":"Here's When Apple's Biggest iPad Ever Goes On Sale"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Tech Time: Who Invented the Tablet?","description":"Did Apple invent the tablet with the iPad, or does its origins have an earlier start?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/7lywpiNx/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-10-01T13:49:20.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7lywpiNx.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/","duration":"PT2M5S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4104602/apple-ipad-pro/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
