The keyboard, dubbed as the Smart Keyboard, connects with the iPad Pro using the Smart Connector, a magnetic connector that provides data transfer and power.
It also doubles as a kickstand. Analysts liken the Smart Keyboard to that of iPad Pro’s competing device, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4.
The Apple Pencil is a stylus that exclusive works on the iPad Pro as the device introduces a new display with increased responsiveness and precision over its predecessors.
With the release of the iPad Pro, Apple is expecting its sales to win new customers in both consumer and business arena.
As per The Verge, Apple’s tablet sales have been dwindling and any potential lost sales continually hurt their aim to generate larger gadget revenue.
Other brands are making it more difficult for the tech giant to step up. Competition from big-screen tablet makers is at an all-time high. C/Net reports that Microsoft is currently enjoying a healthy demand for its newest tablet, the Surface Pro 4.
The latest addition to the Surface Pro series was released last month and packs a 12.3-inch screen. Samsung is also set to provide a stricter competition with its impending release of the 18.4-inch Galaxy View.
The Galaxy View is set to debut soon although designed more as an alternative TV rather than an alternative laptop like the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 4.
