Amidst the delivery of the new iPads, there are hearsays going around that the iPad Pro will be released sometime between April and June next year. Although Apple has not confirmed whether or not it will make a larger iPad, the circulation of rumors about the large tablet is unstoppable, indicating the market's demand for the device.
It was initially speculated that the bigger tablet will be released later this year, just in time for the holiday season. However, according to a report by Mac Rumors, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is known as a credible analyst for Apple-related rumors, suggested earlier this month that the iPad Pro will not enter mass production until the second quarter of 2015. The release of the tablet was allegedly delayed as the company is focusing on the production and delivery of the new iPhones and iPads.
Reports also say that the iPad Pro will be a laptop-tablet hybrid as suggested by its massive screen since there is reportedly a demand for hybrid products. The device will aim for the business sector with apps centering on business and entertainment.
According to Japanese magazine Mac Fan, as reported by Mac Rumors, the iPad Pro, also coined as iPad Air Plus, will look a lot like the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 and will feature a 12.2-inch LCD screen display, A9 processor, and dual top and bottom speakers.
Other rumored features of the iPad Pro are Adreno 420 graphics chipset paired with 2 GB of RAM. The tablet will run with iOS 8 or iOS 9 and will be available in 16 GB, 64 GB, and128 GB internal storage variants. The device will also include an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Mac Fan via Mac Rumors also added that Apple is working on a new iPad mini 4 that will run with the current A8X processor and will sport a design similar to the iPad Air 2 but with a thinner profile. With the release of the iPad mini 4, Apple will reportedly discontinue the iPad mini and iPad mini 3.
However, the Cupertino-based company has not commented on the aforementioned rumors yet.
