Jan 09, 2016  I would love to see Apple update GarageBand for the iPad Pro. In fact, I would buy a more customized app specifically made for the iPP as I think there are a lot of nice features that could be utilized on this device. Aside from drawing, this was the app I was most looking forward to noodiling. Trade‑in values may vary based on the condition and model of your iPad trade‑in. Must be at least 18.
