The Pro is one line, there are just two screen sizes. The 9.7" Pro has the same processor as the larger pro and has compatibility with the pencil. The new 9.7" non-pro has the lower end chip and no pencil.

Yes it's one line, but it has two versions with big differences. I could be wrong but it's not just the screen size, it's also the screen resolution and camera resolution as well. They might as well be two different products. Everyone thought that the smaller iPad Pro was the successor to the iPad.

The 12.9" apparently doesn't have the same TruTone screen (at least according to Apple's own comparison chart) as the 9.7".

This is not simply a size difference.

It's more a band than a line if there are two available at once
