New “Pro” iPads in 2017
According to Makotakara, Apple is prepping three new “Pro” tablets for spring. A new 10.5-inch iPad Pro could replace (or join) the current-generation 9.7-inch model. Alongside, we’ll see a fifth-generation iPad mini, now called a 7.9-inch iPad Pro. Rounding out the new lineup will be a second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Makotakara says that each of these Pro models is likely to include four speakers, a 12-megapixel iSight camera, Smart Connector, True Tone flash, and True Tone display.
Interestingly, the report says that the 3.5mm headphone socket, removed on the iPhone 7, will be retained on the iPad. Not mentioned is whether the tablets will gain the new touch-sensitive Home button found on the phones.
