According to several reports, the forthcoming iPad Pro is expected to be between the size of iPad Pro and its largest model. To be precise, it seems like Apple is handing over a 10.5-inch laptop, so it means that it would fall in between the 9.7 iPad Pro and the 12.9-inch version.

Director Tablets and PCs, Rhoda Alexander, told Forbes that Apple is expected to launch a 10.5-inch iPad Pro. But then, the upcoming device will be closely similar to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro because of its tinier bezel.


"You end up with a unit that's the same physical size as the 9.7 inch," Alexander explained. This is pretty exciting since it will likely maintain its Smart Keyboard. Meanwhile, display expert and president of DisplayMate Technologies Raymond Soneira says: "I think this is a good move because the 9.7 [inch] display is too small and the chassis size on the 12.9 [inch] is too big."


The 10.5-inch iPad Pro will also have its display resolution increased; from the latest 2,048-by-1,536, it will transform into2,024-by-1,668. Meaning, it will maintain the same pixels per inch (PPI).

As for its pricing, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro does not have any details yet about its price. However, some suggest that since the current iPad Pro costs around $599, they can somehow reduce it to $499 while making the 105-inch laptop into $599. This will be a great news for Apple fans especially to those who are aiming to have a new one.

Apple is also expected to release yet another good news -- a low-cost iPad. According to Alexander, the brand will launch a 9.7-icnh iPad that will be sold for as low as $299. However, the director failed to tell what processor the new iPad will have.
