iPad Pro 15" iPad Pro spotted?

[takata0]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I swear I saw a 15" iPad pro on the lap of a guy next to me on a plane. Flying SFO -> NYC. I even had my 11" iPad Pro in my hands as a direct comparison, his was way bigger than the 12.9".

This guy was also a coder, he was working on code for the rest of the flight on his 15" MBP.

Thoughts? Seems crazy to think a prototype would be out in the wild like that.

Maybe it was the case on the 12.9 that made it look larger, but no, one would not be out in the wild.

MS Surface Pro comes in 15 inches

It's incredibly doubtful that you would have seen a prototype in the wild. Did you get a picture of it so we could all take a look? If not, are you quite sure it was an iPad? Was it running iPadOS?

Did he have a wireless keyboard or a magic keyboard? If it was detached keyboard then I would say there’s a chance you saw a unicorn. If it was a magic keyboard I’d say you were under estimating the size of the 12”

Wow I think I saw the same guy… got a pic though ??

Did you see the actual screen? The first generation 12.9" Pro had a home button and much larger bezels. Physically it was considerably larger than the current 12.9" Pros.

Sure, 5 hour flight and you didn't get a picture. Lol.

It was unreleased 15.4" iPad Pro Max and you were the lucky one to see it first. Congrats!

I like the concept. Mount it on your wall as a TV, then just take it off the wall to use it as an iPad.

A better question is, how does OP know it was 15" and not 14.1" or 13.3"?

He was close enough to measure the display, but didn't inspect it?

Another reason to cut out alcohol from commercial airline flights ...

 

[JSteele]

I mean, I can dig it. Would be sweet.

Like some others have already suggested, the display/tablet portion of the 15" Surface Book is what came to my mind too. Or since he was a developer, perhaps he was using a portable display (these are thin and can look like a tablet), although I think it would be rather clunky to use that on an airplane.

 

[BradMacPro]

The 15" has a 4K or UHD multi-touch display.

Nerds drink too much alcohol.

Tell me about it. How do you think I just ended up ordering the new 12.9 I said I wasn't upgrading to? Supposedly ready for p/u at a local store tomorrow.

Does it?
Surface Book does.

Yeah, I’m not aware of a Surface Pro in 15 inch, but Surface Book, yes.

I’m sure Apple would have a 15in iPad Pro in the labs, but I don’t think they would ship it unless they could make it weigh the same as the 12.9in.
