Apple’s newest iPad Pro lineup is becoming harder to obtain as supplies dwindle in stores around the world.

Some of the missing features will be back, though.
Smartphone lens-maker Moment will develop photo and video apps exclusively for iPhone, after the company said Monday it will discontinue the Android version of its popular Pro Camera app.
Moment, known for its high-quality lenses, bailed on Android because it does not have the “engineering bandwidth” to keep up with the various camera systems among Android brands. The Pro Camera app continues on iOS.
