The first time when people saw the original iPad Pro model was in November 2015. That was a super-size variant of Apple’s flagship tablet.
The older iPad Pro was equipped with a speedy processor, a 12.9-inch display and new features like split-screen multitasking.
We also must add that the original iPad Pro was unveiled alongside with other new devices, including Apple’s Pencil stylus and a magnetically attached Smart keyboard that doubles as a cover.
To be added that Apple’s Pencil stylus was released as an accessory optimized for detailed graphics work.
Since then, the original Apple iPad Pro gained a lot of success even if there were some voices who criticized the tablet’s huge screen.
Last year, Apple came with a new less-expensive model. That model had a 9.7-inch screen, and combined many of the previous features, alongside with some new ones, including a higher-quality camera and a smaller footprint.
The 9.7-inch model was well received on the market by media professionals and designers. Unfortunately, that was it, because it failed to inspire the company’s board to embrace non-Pro predecessors.
During that period, Microsoft was releasing innovative products like the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. With Microsoft’s huge success on the market, iPad’s sales sagged.
But, it seems that Apple is not giving up. There are rumors that the company is planning to release the newest iPad Pro 2 model. Unfortunately, the company remains as silent as ever.
However, things are becoming very obvious and most current rumors are showing the Apple will release a new device very soon.
The new iPad Pro 2 has all the chances to be released in the next couple of weeks. According to the rumors, the new iPad Pro 2 will come with a variety of sizes, including 7.9-inch screen, 12.9-inch and 10.5-inch screen.
The company will also add a new magnetic Apple Pencil, a 10x processor, four speakers, a smart connector, True Tones display, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a significantly reduced bezel. To be added that Apple will also add a 12-megapixel iSight camera with True Tone Flash.
These are some very good specs. Apple probably hopes that the new iPad Pro 2 will have better success than its predecessors.
But, when will the next iPad be released?
The latest iPad Pro that was released on October 26 has just received its first discount, knocking $50 off of its retail price.
Why?
Because, it will coincide with the release date of the old 9.7-inch iPad Pro. This last year’s model was available in stores.
Another interesting question is if Apple will decide to change the iPad’s display. Rumors are claiming that Apple is holding back a dramatic redesign of the iPad. These changes could also include a model with a flexible AMOLED display.
people will probably see an iPad with an ultrathin bezel that displays its larger screen and would give it a compact footprint similar to the previous 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
