The iPad Pro 2016 may end up being released before the end of the year.

To be more specific, the newest version of the iPad Pro may end up being released by November, with the hopes that it could provide stiff competition for the recently released Surface Pro 4 from Microsoft, according to the Latino Post.

Unfortunately, that's all there is for now in terms of rumors regarding the release date of the iPad Pro 2016, although it appears that Apple is being cautious with their plans for their supposedly upcoming product.

According to Digitimes, Apple is reportedly only placing limited orders for units of the iPad Pro 2016 to their upstream suppliers.

As of now, Apple is reportedly being very conservative in terms of how many iPad Pro 2016 units they have ready for both the end of this year and for the first quarter of 2016.

Apple reportedly has placed orders for just 2.5 million units of the new device that they could put on sale before the end of the year. The company is expected to lower that figure even further when they place their orders for the iPad Pro 2016 units that they will put on sale for the first quarter of next year, although that is reportedly not set in stone. The number of iPad Pro 2016 units that Apple may order for next year will reportedly hinge on how in demand the tablet may be during this upcoming holiday season.

As for what features people can expect from the iPad Pro 2016, it will supposedly include new multitasking options for users to look forward to.

The new tablet will also be compatible with the also soon-to-be released Apple Pencil that should provide users with a new experience that they may not have had with other tablets from the company.

Rumors currently suggest that the iPad Pro 2016 will be on sale for $799.
