The fact is, iPad Pro 9.7 is a much newer and better tablet. Sony abandoned the tablet market long ago so don't expect many updates for that forgotten device

              Oh man look these Samsung fanboys like samsung has used always sapphire for their home button and camera lenses . Samsung every year uses plastic for the home button every year at least apple is using glass because it can't meet the demand with sapphire because it takes a lot of time crafting saphire
