For over two years now, iPad Pro has been rumored to release and Apple is now confirming anything until now but new evidences show that the upcoming device is indeed hitting shelves before 2015 comes to an end.
Reports are now firm pointing to Apple's imminent release of the latest iPad Pro in October or November as indicated by a series of materials seen from Sharp believed to be Apple's 12.9-inch screen frames. Well-known tech site Phone Arena has hinted that the Cupertino giant will be starting to produce in September.
If these reports are true after all, Apple will be scrambling and scratching to mass produce the tablet to meet the expected late October or early November launch. However, this seems impossible for some.
Meanwhile, iPad Pro is rivaling Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 tablet since it announced already that October is the date for Surface Pro 4. Reports that Apple is cramming for the release might be true after all to counter Microsoft's rumored announcement of not just one or two or three devices come October.
According to previous reports, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will sport Apple Watch's well-acclaimed Force Touch technology to match the tablet's powerful Corning Gorilla Glass. As expected, iPad Pro will also rock a powerful chipset and possible a Mac OS will replace iOS.
The latter is not verified though. According to reports, mobile operating system might be updating to iOS 9 to carry the 12.9-inch device's system. With iOS 9, iPad Pro is expected to do multitasking for more efficient use.
While rumored to look like a Surface Pro variant, Apple is breaking expectations by revealing that iPad Pro will have an external Apple-made keyboard. Will a kickstand and a stylus add to the brand's fresh treats? No details for now.
iPad Pro's base price is expected to cost US $499. An iPad Mini 4 and an iPad Air 2 are also reported to release alongside iPad Pro.
