Apple have unveiled their brand new iPad Pro, with CEO Tim Cook saying it’s “the biggest news in iPad since the iPad.”

The iPad Pro has a 12.9inch display, making it the technology giants’ biggest tablet yet, and Apple’s Phil Schiller has revealed how it will out-perform its rivals in terms of speed.

“It is faster than 80 percent of the portable PCs that shipped in the last 12 months,” claims Schiller. “In graphics tasks it’s faster than 90 percent of them.”

The device is 6.9mm thin and weighs just 1.57 pounds, with Apple hoping that it reinvigorates a tablet market that had become somewhat cluttered and unpredictable in recent years.
