On Tuesday, Apple introduced two next-generation iPad Pro models during its special event in Brooklyn, New York. The new 2018 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models go on sale beginning today, Oct. 30 with the first shipments being delivered on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

With a design that looks similar to the iPhone X lineup, the new iPad Pro models feature smaller bezels, Face ID, and for the first time, no Home button. Each includes a Liquid Retina display like the one found on the iPhone XR. Inside, you’ll find an A12X Bionic chip with a next-generation Neural Engine.

Instead of Lightning, the 2018 iPad Pros feature a USB-C connection which you can use to charge other devices such as your iPhone or camera.

Apple also announced two accessories for the new tablets. The $129 second-generation Apple Pencil and all-new Smart Keyboard Folio ($179 for the 11-inch iPad Pro model, $199 for the 12.9-inch variant.)

The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro are available in silver and space gray in 64GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations starting at $799.

The most expensive model this year, the 12.9-inch version with Wi-Fi + LTE and 1TB of storage will set you back $1,899.

This definitely looks like the iPad to get if you can afford it. With Photoshop coming to iPad next year for the first time, this is a no-brainer for professional users. Some gamers might also like what is going on with the new version, but the jury is still out.
