Apple to release 3 new iPad Pros in 2017

Apple, according to a report, will be shipping three new iPad Pro models next spring. These include 7.9-inch, 9.7-inch, and 10.1-inch models as seen on a Japanese blog, Mac Otakara.

According the reports, the next Apple's flagship, a 12.9-inch iPad Pro will feature a 12MP iSight camera with True Tone flash and display. These features will also be seen in the new 9.7-inch model.

The 7.9-inch iPad Pro, which will replace iPad mini 4 is also reported to feature the same features that the larger devices have, which include True Tone display, four speakers, Smart Connector and 12-megapixel camera.

The iPad Pros will also feature a quad microphone set up against the dual microphones from the old models. The source also said that the new models will have 3.5mm headphone jack, which is surprising since Apple removed that feature from iPhone 7, according to BGR.

The recent report almost matches the previous one in August from Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities. While Kuo said that there will be three new devices to be released in 2017, the analyst said these devices will include a 9.7-inch iPad, 10.5-inch iPad Pro and a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2.

Kuo did not mention any about the 7.9-inch iPad model.

According to speculations, Apple might stop producing the iPad mini since the tech giant would like to focus more on its larger tablet line up. It is also said the demand for the smallest Apple iPad has decreased because of the 5.5-inch iPhone Plus models, as reported by Mac Rumors.

Meanwhile, Mac Otakara does not have a good record with regards to Apple rumors; however, it sources also made some accurate reports in the past. Its blog site was the first one to report about the tech giant's plans to remove the standard 3.5mm headphone jack on iPhone 7 models.
