Vodafone New Zealand has announced the iPad Pro is now available to order from it's website: www.vodafone.co.nz/ipad.

The new iPad, complete with Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities, comes with a 12.9-inch Retina display with 5.6 million pixels.

New Zealand will offer these new iPads with a range of data plans that will allow customers to connect to its 4G network with speeds up to 150 Mb/s.

The new, larger iPad Pro features the new 64-bit A9X chip, which rivals most portable PCs. It's thin, light and delivers 10-hour battery life.

Ultra-fast wireless connectivity keeps users connected in any location with Wi-Fi. The device comes with 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO technology, support for a wide range of LTE bands and other fast cellular network technologies (4G).

Vodafone New Zealand will also offer Apple Pencil for iPad Pro and Apple's new Smart Keyboard in a US English layout, which brings new levels of precision and utility to the iPad.

Apple Pencil for iPad Pro enables users to draw and sketch, and delivers accuracy for activities such as fine art illustration and detailed 3D design.

A built-in Lightning connector on Apple Pencil makes for quick pairing and charging.

Apple's new Smart Keyboard further extends the utility of iPad Pro, offering a full-sized keyboard  that has been designed to be thin, durable and portable.

The Smart Keyboard, available for purchase separately, attaches to iPad Pro's innovative Smart Connector port, eliminating the need for a separate battery, on/off switch or Bluetooth pairing.

Vodafone is offering the 128GB model for $1,799 on a 'Mobile with On Account plan', and $1,899 for Mobile only. It comes in three colour options: gold, silver and space grey. The Apple Pencil comes in at $189.
