- A new feature Apple calls "ProMotion" that wll refresh its display at a 120Hz rate, which is twice as fast as normal. That will allow for smoother scrolling and general usage. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro will automatically adjust the refresh rate depending on what you're viewing to maximize both performance and battery life. It'll reduce the refresh rate for viewing photos, for example, or ramp it up for watching a movie.

- Apple's A10X Fusion chip, which offers 30% faster speed and 40% better graphics performance than its A9X processor.

- 10-hour battery life.

- A new app switcher for better multi-tasking with iOS 11.
