Less is more: iPad Pro got smaller, iOS 9.3 arrived and Apple Watch got “cheaper”

In a literally small event, the Apple introduced the world to compact versions of products we've already seen. the newcomer iPhone SE, came to fill the gap in the iPhone 5c and become the company's entry-level smartphone. The device maintains the design of the iPhone 5s, but with hardware iPhone 6s (learn more here).

Continuing on this wave of shrinking screens, the company released a smaller version of iPad Pro, with a screen 9,7 inches. Interestingly, the new iPad Pro has the same screen size as the iPad Air 2, and the alleged iPad Air 3 was not presented. After all, it wouldn't make sense for the company to update the Air and launch two very similar iPads. However, the previous model was $100 cheaper with the launch of the new Pro.

For Apple, the iPad Pro is more than the next generation of the iPad. “It is an audacious vision for personal computing in the modern world. Its performance outperforms most computers.” Clearly referring to PCs with Windows and Surface Pro da Microsoft.

O hardware of the new iPad is very similar to the 12,9-inch model, except for the camera which has been improved. Now it has a 12MP camera, with support for Live Photos, Autofocus with Focus Pixels, True Tone Flash, panoramic photos up to 63MP, Auto HDR and ƒ/2.2 aperture.

The only negative point of the camera is the relief it has gained, exposing the lens and will probably make it difficult to rest the tablet under a table without it getting in the way. It also supports 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording at 30 fps, and its frontal camera now it has 5 SM and records videos in HD 720p.

Another novelty is the storage of both models. They now have versions with 256 GB of internal storage.

The iPad Pro with 32 GB will be sold by U $ 599,00, approximately R$2160,00 reais, without taxes and the version with 256 GB, U $ 899,00, something around of R$3.240,00 real. The more expensive iPad Pro, the 12,9 inches on 256 GB will leave by U $ 1029,00, or approximately R$3.707,00 real.

Apple Watch got cheaper and got new bracelets

According to Tim Cook, the Apple Watch is today the SmartWatch best seller in the world and a third of users like to exchange their wristbands, and of course, he took advantage of today's event to announce new wristbands and a price reduction gadgets. Its price dropped from U $ 349,00 all with U $ 299,00 dollars. In Brazil, he went from R$2.899,00 all with R$2.599,00 ie still very expensive.
