It unlocks full Windows and Mac versions of Office apps for one notebook or PC, 1 tablet – like the iPad Pro – and 1 smartphone. Office 365 Personal costs $69.99 a year or $6.99 a month. Microsoft Office for iPad Pro should be covered by Office 365’s device benefits. Read: Surface Pro 3 vs iPad Pro: Which is Better? That’s also why it continues to charge users for access to Microsoft Office on its own Surface Pro 3 tablet. That’s why Microsoft is charging for Microsoft Office on the iPad Pro. The bigger screen pushes the iPad Pro firmly into notebook replacement territory and into a device that’s aimed for productivity. That’s a bigger screen than even some notebooks come with these days. The iPad Pro has the biggest display Apple has ever used for a tablet: it measures a whopping 12.9-inches. That same metric comes back to haunt the iPad Pro, which was designed to be the one device that users need. For example, iPad Air users get completely unfettered access to Microsoft Office Mobile without an Office 365 subscription because its screen measures 9.7-inches. The Office Mobile apps are absolutely free for anyone to read and edit a document on smartphones and tablets that have screen sizes smaller than 10.1-inches.
In the lead up to the launch of Windows 10 Microsoft clarified its position and carved out a niche for Office Mobile apps. On notebooks, Microsoft already charges for access to Office, whether it be its new Office Mobile apps for Windows or the full desktop version of Office 2016. These large screens make them a direct threat to notebooks. 2-in-1s have larger screens and enhanced features so that they can act as the single device in a user’s life. However, it is targeting the class of devices that the iPad Pro belongs to: 2-in-1s. Microsoft isn’t targeting the iPad Pro to build Office 365 subscriptions. The issue with some early reports is that Microsoft is somehow deliberately targeting the iPad Pro with this announcement. Read: iPad Pro Release Date & Price Confirmed Apple bringing the company on stage is it admitting just how important the software suite is to staying productive. Having access to Microsoft Office is key. Microsoft Office is the world’s most popular productivity suite, and includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote for mobile devices. That’s despite Microsoft not charging owners of regular iPads to create and edit documents and spreadsheets. Microsoft later confirmed to that outlet that iPad Pro users will be forced to pay for an Office 365 subscription. Reports of Microsoft charging for access to its Office for iPad apps surfaced this week after ArsTechnicadeep dived into the terms associated with Microsoft Office apps available in the iTunes Store and Google Play Store. Part of that assertion is true, the other part is pure conjecture. Now some believe that Microsoft is carefully trying to manage the threat the iPad Pro poses by charging iPad Pro buyers to edit documents with Microsoft Office for iPad. Company executives were on stage when Apple announced the iPad Pro and more earlier this month. Microsoft seems to be a big supporter of Apple and its latest endeavors.
