One of the biggest announcements from Apple's Spring Loaded event today was the 2021 iPad Pro and its new partner, the M1 Chip. You may remember Apple's new in-house processor from the 2020 Mac line, but the fact that the same processor that powers all the latest Apple computers is now in the iPad Pro is huge, and could mean big things for the iPad. In addition to serious improvements in processing speed, we're also looking at the best graphics card in any tablet currently on the market, even outside of the Apple family. The 2021 iPad Pro also has exciting new camera features, 5G capabilities, and a Liquid Retina XDR display which means bright, crisp, and smooth images, but priced at comparable levels to actual computers, is this tablet heavyweight worth it? Let's take a look.
The absolute best iPad Pro accessories on the market aren’t always easy to find. I’ve scoured lists across the internet and created a few of my own, but the iPad Pro is still relatively new and companies are releasing products all the time. Once you have a top-notch keyboard, it’s fun to see what other awesome items are out there. Look no further, here’s the seven best iPad Pro accessories available now.

But without an obvious option on the keyboard, how does one indent text in the Notes app? It's easier than you think.
