iPad Pro 15" iPad Pro spotted?

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.

Which 12.9in pro? The first gen? The last gen? Weight has gone down from 730 to 680 to 640 and back to 680. Weight of my Surface Book 2 clipboard is around 800.
Meanwhile Samsung is coming up with a 14.6in Tab S8 Ultra at 650gr.... (but with a 16:10 ratio and no bezels, so overall not much larger than the 12.9in iPad, probably just as tall but longer)

I don’t think they’d do it if it weighed more than 700 grams.

Fwiw I like the Surface Book, but the pen is not responsive enough for me. Initial Activation Force too high.
 
another topic without any juice/proof. Just another user that needs some attentions from the forum members

They increased the 12.9 to 680, so they are ready to give up lightness and thinness and I doubt they would give up mini led... So I wouldn't be surprised if they made it 750 or even 800.... Unless they go OLED like Samsung and make it ultra thin, which I doubt...

As for the Book Pen, while the iPad pencil has the best feel (provided you use a screen protector) for annotating it's pretty good for me, but the screen is not as stable as a surface pro in laptop mode, unless you detach it an put it on a stand like an iPad...
