Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Apple is offering free deliveries on the tablet, with estimated delivery on Friday.
Some of the accessories have longer waiting times. If the Apple Pencil stylus is ordered today, users can expect it to arrive between 19 November and 26 November, according to the site.
Apple offers the big tablet in three different colours: silver, gold and its darker space grey, each of which costs the same. It also comes in three different options: a 32GB Wi-Fi version, for £679; a 128GB Wi-Fi version, for £799; and a 128GB version that has a cellular connection for £899.
Apple then offers a range of extras on top. That includes £79 for AppleCare+, which adds on extra warranty coverage, and new accessories the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil, which together cost about £220.
Phone networks are also expected to sell the iPad Pro. EE and Vodafone have told The Independent that they will be selling the cellular version of the tablet online and in stores, though neither has yet put up prices on their websites.
Apple boss Tim Cook said in an interview with The Independent that the company considered the iPad Pro a potential laptop replacement. The tablet was launched alongside new iPhones and an Apple TV at an event in September, and Apple said earlier this week that it was about to go on sale.
