The audience held its breath as Apple CEO Tim Cook announced, "Next up is iPad," early into the Apple event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California on Wednesday.

The iPad Pro is the company's latest and largest tablet. The iPad Pro is enormous at 12.9 inches and 1.54 pounds, which is not bad for a tablet of its size. The first iPad weight 1.5 pounds. It has 10 hours of battery life. At 6.9mm thick, it is a bit stouter than the 6.1mm iPad Air.

Cook referred to it as "the biggest news for the iPad since the iPad."
