The New iPad Pro and iOS 11 That Make it More Like a Computer
Mary Van Puymbroeck — June 6, 2017 — Tech
Yesterday at WWDC 2017, Apple released its newest addition to the iPad line-up with the high performance tablet iPad Pro.
This new release brings the iPad Pro closer than it has ever been to functioning as a full-fledged computer. First, the 10.5 inch iPad Pro is 20% larger than the previous iPad release due to its beveled edge and provides the most striking display of any iPad on the market. Next, Apple made significant changes with iOS 11 that allow the device to function more like a traditional computer. A newly added docking station, similar to that seen on an iMac or MacBook, allows for easier access to your most used applications. Quick grab functions make dragging and dropping files between applications a breeze and the new pen allows you to draw directly on PDF files.
This high performance tablet is the most versatile version of the iPad available. Now that its iOS functions more like a computer, the device can better handle multitasking. Tablets may never replace computers for full-time use, but the new iPad Pro is a smart option for doing work on the go.
