I think that's just because those are commercials promoting the Pro specifically, not that they are saying that those things cannot be done on non-pro models. At least, I'm not aware of any restrictions on what models of iPad's can run Office, for example, and if there were, they'd be ones imposted by app's authors, Microsoft in this case. Unless you're talking about apps specifically requiring Pencil?

Maybe it's just the bait-and-switch tone of the commercials that throws me off. It does seem like Office would run on any iPad [0], and they could just be referring to the pencil. However, even the description there [0] is kind of weirdly worded to me. I just don't know enough about Apple devices I guess. > * Word is ready for iPad Pro and looks amazing on the 12.9-inch screen. Read Word documents on iPad Pro for free.
