The 9.7\u201d iPad Pro is an upgrade from the iPad Air 2 in essentially every respect. What\u2019s interesting is that in some ways it actually represents an upgrade from the 12.9\u201d iPad Pro. While a quick examination of Apple\u2019s launches would lead you to believe that the 9.7\u201d iPad Pro was launched late, it actually looks like it was launched on schedule, while the 12.9\u201d model was the one that was delayed. This explains the significant gap between the displays and cameras of the two iPad Pro models, with the larger of the two having been planned to launch before Apple began moving any of their products to a wider gamut, and well before a 12MP camera debuted on the iPhone 6s. Because of this, Apple is now in a bit of an awkward situation, as there\u2019s no way for someone to actually buy an iPad with the absolute best specs for every component. It\u2019s worth going over where the smaller iPad Pro differs from the larger model, as well as what changes have been made coming from the iPad Air 2.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The iPad Pro 9.7\u201d is better in every way over the Air 2 and better in some ways over the iPad Pro 12.9\u201d but if performance is the #1 factor, the 12.9\u201d is still the top-dawg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
