It's twice as loud as the Air 2. For pictures, the new iPad Pro has a 12-megapixel rear camera,complete with focus pixels, dual-tone flash, and Live Photos.

During the launch Phil Schiller talked about the latest iPad Pro as “the ultimate PC replacement.” Apple has sold over 200 million iPads in the 9.7 inch size. The new iPad Pro 32GB will start at $599 and begin shipping March 31.
