Refreshing their existing 9.7-inch Apple iPad tablet lineup (which means no iPad Air 3), Apple have also launched the Apple iPad Pro 9.7-inch model from $599 (RM2419) for the 32GB storage version with WiFi (check out all the pricings below). Featuring new tech specs like the A9X processor and support for a smaller but still super thin smart keyboard and the Apple Pencil stylus, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is basically the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in a smaller form factor.

No Malaysia release dates yet but like the iPhone SE preorders will start on 24 March 2016 and it is expected to be available (in the US at least) by 31 March 2016. It doesn't look like it will replace the iPad Air 2 so we should expect a price drop for that one at least.
