Like the iPad Pro, this iPad is designed with productivity in mind, expect in a smaller package. It'll appeal to those who are interested in the iPad Pro's features, but don't want carry around a gigantic 13-inch tablet.

The key here is Apple's A9X chip, which is geared to work with Apple Pencil and resource-hungry productivity apps.

It costs $599 for the 32GB model. Pre-orders begin on March 24, and will begin shipping on March 31.
