The surface pro is a failure. Apple didn't make a pro tablet earlier because they understood the correct time to introduce such a product.

  By what metrics is it a failure? Because when I last looked at Microsoft's financial statements, their revenue was up due to the Surface (Profit was down for unrelated reasons). I'm assuming you haven't used a Surface Pro but you can mark my words now, Apple will release a direct copy of the Surface within 3 years. The iPad Pro is a glorified iPad and will be utterly unusable for doing anything professional, so it's not a copy at this stage.

    This is already demonstrably false. The iPad is already in use for professional purposes, and if you'd watched it, you have seen the stage demo prove you wrong.

      What professional purposes?

        Medicine, CAD, Commercial Aviation, Finance, Retail, Graphic Design & Illustration... Pretty much everything serious. https://www.apple.com/business/mobile-enterprise-apps/healthcare.html https://www.apple.com/business/mobile-enterprise-apps/health...
