New iPad Pro 2: Audio jack removed, plus other leaked features and specs, due for a March 2017 release

A lot of potential buyers of Apple products have expected to hear more from the giant tech company from its September event, including the announcement of the highly-anticipated, iPad Pro 2. But the product was not mentioned in the event, and instead focused on its equally-anticipated gadget, the iPhone 7.

But reports are claiming that the announcement of the new iPad will be happening early next year, if not later this year. The second generation of iPad Pro is also reportedly coming out with almost the same specs with the iPhone 7, including its removal of the audio jack.

According to Christian Daily, the gadget will be expected to be released in three different variants and in three different screen sizes: 12.9-inch, 10.5-inch and 9.7-inch. All variants will also have an AMOLED display with upgraded features that include zooming, panning and pinching so that users can experience easier navigation.

It will be expected for the upcoming iPad to be lighter and slimmer compared to its older version. And since the company is planning for the removal of its audio jack, the gadget will apparently also be dust and water-resistant. Furthermore, a bluetooth headset is also planned, following the company's announcement of the newest Apple Airpods, which came as a bundle for purchasing the iPhone 7.

According to tech analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, the iPad Pro 2 will be powered by Apple's most powerful version of chipsets, so far, the A10X processor.

Moreover, reports from Bloomberg has suggested that Apple will focus on software upgrades and will also work on the new Apple pencil, which the aforementioned site has mentioned that it is designed into "a handwriting and drawing stylus aimed at professionals." It will reportedly give the users the power to interpret objects across the whole operating system and not just in certain applications.

The upcoming gadget is also believed to have almost the same specs with the newly-released iPhone 7. According to Tech Radar, it will reportedly have a 3D Touch feature and will probably also be available in colors of Rose Gold and Jet Black.

According to tech experts, the iPad Pro 2 is expected to be released in March 2017.
