Some iOS owners interested in running Office on an iPad Pro may cry foul but that's because they assumed when Microsoft made Office free for iPads (and iPhones) the same approach would apply in the future. The company stated that the Office Universal app suite would be freely bundled on all Windows devices with - wait for it - screen sizes less than 10.1-inches. Microsoft even reiterated this requirement in April of this year for devices running Windows. The 12.9-inch display of Apple's iPad Pro clearly doesn't. With a screen size of 9.7-inches, the current iPad models meet the mobile device standard that Microsoft has defined. That's why last November, Microsoft was able to set Office free on iOS devices, including both iPads and iPhones. As expected, the new Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps are free to install but require an Office 365 subscription to unlock the full set of features. It took four years, but Microsoft has finally released full-featured Office apps for the iPad. Microsoft Office for iPad sets the gold standard for tablet productivity
