Apple launched a new iPad Pro and it's a major upgrade from the last model. The screen sizes have remained the same, at 11 and 12.9 inches, but nearly everything about these devices have been improved. The new iPad Pros, which are identical in most features save the size, sport Apple's A12Z Bionic chip, a dual rear camera with a regular and ultra-wide sensor, and a LiDAR scanner on the back. Apple also added trackpad support to iPadOS, pushing the iPad farther into traditional laptop territory than ever before (the update is coming on March 24). It'll work a little different than on a laptop, with the cursor appearing as a circle instead of an arrow, and with gestures that make certain tasks easier, including switching between apps.
