Apple's iPad Pro will reportedly be available to buy in stores on November 11, according to Digital Spy.

Previous rumours suggested that the beefy tablet was due to land in the first week of the month, but 9to5Mac claims that it has slipped to the following week.

Apple is yet to break its silence on the matter of the iPad Pro's release date.

As well as adopting a new, laptop-inspired form factor, the iPad Pro will mark the introduction of a new Apple stylus, the humorously named Apple Pencil.

Under the hood, the 12.9-inch tablet packs a next-generation A9X chip, a battery that runs for 10 hours on a single charge, and up to 128GB of internal storage.

With iPad Pro prices to start at $799 in the States, rising to a wallet-busting $1,079.
