“With the iPad Pro name and features, the new 9.7-inch iPad will be Apple’s first to come with a starting price higher than $499,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to5Mac.
“The smaller iPad Pro will start at $599 and include 32 GB of storage, according to sources,” Gurman reports. “The $599 base configuration is for a WiFi-only model, while higher-priced versions with 128 GB of storage and the ability to connect to LTE cellular networks will also be offered. ”
“While the $599 starting price for the smaller iPad Pro is higher than any 9.7-inch iPad before it, the 32 GB of storage does help balance out the pricing as the current $499 iPad Air 2 includes 16 GB of storage,” Gurman reports. “Apple will announce the new iPad at its event on Monday, March 21st.”
