Swappasaurus says...
The 2nd generation iPad Pro 12.9” was announced in June 2017, and it retained the same overall look and feel of the 1st generation iPad Pro 12.9”. But while the look and feel remained the same, the specs received some notable improvements. For example, the 12.9” display went from Retina to Retina with ProMotion technology and True Tone. The processor chip went from the Apple A9X to the A10X Fusion chip, and the storage space doubled to a maximum of 512GB. Other feature highlights include a 7MP FaceTime HD camera on the front, a 12MP wide camera on the back, four-speaker audio, Touch ID, a Lightning connector for charging, and a Smart Connector which brought compatibility for the Apple Smart Keyboard. The 2017 iPad Pro 12.9” also supports the first-generation Apple Pencil.
