IPad Pro counts with iOS 9.x operating system, and Google Nexus 9 works with Android 5.0 operating system.
The Google Nexus 9 has a little bit better looking screen than Apple iPad Pro, because although it has a way worse resolution of 2048 x 1536 and a much smaller display, it also counts with a just a little higher pixel amount in each display inch. The iPad Pro counts with a very superior memory to install applications and games than Google Nexus 9, because it has 128 GB internal memory.
