Would you dump the laptop for ₹49,900 iPad Pro

Apple on Monday launched a smaller iPad Pro and iPhone at their special event. While the latest iPhone SE sports a 4-inch screen and costs $399, the new iPad Pro has a 9.7-inch screen (like the iPad Air) and starts at $599.

The new iPad Pro is even available in Rose Gold and offers storage space up to 256 GB. Apple aggressively suggests that the iPad is a great replacement for your laptop. Unless you deal with zip files which aren't quite easy to open on an iPad.

The new iPad sports the top-of-the-line 12 MP iSight camera capable of recording in 4k. It weighs under a pound, supports Apple Pencil and a keyboard cover like its elder brother.

Besides the new iPad and iPhone, Apple also announced a price cut to the Apple Watch, which they claim is the best selling smartwatch on the market, to bring it down to $299.

After an honorary flashback to all the products from Apple, Tim Cook wasted no time addressing their standoff with the FBI over privacy of iPhone users.
