On Monday, Apple has confirmed that its highly-anticipated iPad Pro will be on sale on Wednesday, November 11. The company said the tablet, which was unveiled in September as a 12.9-inch screen, 1.6-pound mobile device, will be available simultaneously on the Apple website, and will be in Apple stores, authorized retailers and some wireless carriers in over 40 countries later in the week.
There has been speculation earlier that Apple will be releasing the tablet on a Friday instead, November 13. This was fueled by US retailer Sam’s Club, which announced that it will start shipping iPad Pro orders on that date, Techradar reported. Moreover, the deliveries that will be supposedly made were for the Wi-Fi versions only, and that it has been suggested that the 128G version may not be offered for at least this week. It is expected that complementary accessories, which includes a dedicated keyboard and an Apple Pencil, will be sold alongside the iPad Pro versions, Digital Spy added.
