The recently concluded Spring Forward event revealed some of the most awaited devices from Apple Inc., including the Apple Watch, the new MacBook 2015, as well as the latest versions of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models. However, avid Apple fans are still waiting for another device to arrive, which happens to be the iPad Pro tablet. 

Several rumors emerged as early as 2014 regarding the alleged iPad Pro device, but nothing has been confirmed up to now. Still, speculations about the big screened tablet continue to surface. 

TechRadar recently unveiled several reports about the iPad Pro size in its website. According to some of its sources, the slate will come out with a 12.9-inch screen. However, a report from the Japanese news site Macotakara stated that it will come out with a 12.2-inch display. It also claimed that the device will have a detachable keyboard just like the Surface Pro 3 of Microsoft. 

Other specs rumors about the iPad Pro say that it will have a set of microphones and speakers that will be located on the top and bottom areas of the tablet, which means that it will have stereo sound similar to the iPad 2. It will also have an iSight camera, a Lightning connector, as well as the new Touch ID sensor that new Apple products currently possess. 

But aside from the conflicting specs rumors, there are also inconsistent reports about the release date of the iPad Pro. Some say that the device will come out before the end of 2015, while earlier claims said that it will come in spring 2015. 

Still, Apple Inc. has not confirmed the existence of the iPad Pro, or if the alleged device will really come out in the market soon.
