The cost of the basic version with 32-Gigabyte drive starts from 799 dollars, followed by the model with the SSD 128GB for $ 949. Finally, add LTE module to the device will increase the price tag up to 1080 dollars.
For full work with iPad Pro will have to get a Pencil stylus Apple for $ 100 keyboard and Smart Keyboard for $ 170. The final amount, which in most cases have to pay for a new product, over $ 1000. This, apparently, and is the determining factor, why Apple has restricted the first batch of iPad Pro a number of 2.5 million copies.
