iPad Pro – the creative future’s looking good

Apple's big-screen wonder has the specs to match its looks, with huge potential for gamers and artists

The first impression of the latest entry to Apple's tablet range - the iPad Pro (from 679, apple.com) - is of its 5.6 megapixel, 32.8cm (12.9in) screen, which surpasses the size and resolution of anything Apple has previously offered. It looks stunning. Fire up a Pro-optimised game such as The Room Three (3.99, Fireproof, App Store) and it bursts into life. As well as the obvious aesthetic charms, with a tricksy puzzler like this, the added detail is of real benefit as you prod, poke and drag puzzle boxes around to progress. The scope of the series is expanded in its second sequel, with multiple rooms each becoming part of the puzzle rather than focusing only on the boxes themselves. It's a satisfying development and showcased best on this new hardware.
