As spotted on Twitter, Apple has lowered the price of the 2018 11-inch iPad Pro in 64GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations. The 64GB refurbished model now costs $469, 256GB for $539, 512GB for $689, and 1TB for $849.

The new iPad Pro features the same display and camera hardware as the previous generation. Apple also announced the 10th-generation entry-level iPad with a new design, USB-C, and support for only the first-generation Apple Pencil.
