Apple is going to release new iPad Pro at WWDC

There still seem to be significant bezels. I'm confused now as to the motivation of increasing the size marginally. Perhaps it is simply because they want to make the 10.5" the "iPad Pro Mini" - matching the PPI of the iPad mini but with the iPad Pro's resolution.

and you look thru his hardware signature and it's like all Samsung gear. Makes you wonder why he even visits this site.

Go find a SamsungRumors.com site and enjoy yourself more...

The Chromebook Plus is actually a great machine. I sold my 12.9 for it as well. You get all the benefits of a chromebook laptop and now with the added android app support you get all the applications you would get on an android phone. Its really the best of both worlds and is currently the best laptop/tablet combo out IMO.

Apparently it is so you can have two full size iPad mini interfaces side by side for split screen.
 
If they do a minor update on the 12.9 what's the earliest they would update it again? Next spring? Is it possible the 9.7 and 10.5 both have better screens/extra features than the 12.9 for quite a while?

I don't think that is the reasoning. Although not exactly the same size as a mini screen, you can get the same effect with the current 9.7 iPad... just slightly smaller, but the same UI layout.

iOS apps displayed on screens smaller than 9.7 end up with the "mobile" UI version. That is one of the nice features of the 12.9 Pro... you get 2 full UI iOS apps side by side.

Yes, I know the 12.9 can do this. I think that is what they want for the 10.5 as well, just with the mini UI. There was an article on cult that can probably describe it better than me.

How do wallpapers confirm it will be announced at WWDC? if they do introduce this new 10.5" iPad Pro at WWDC I also wonder f they will also update the 12.9" version as well even if it's just with new internals. I get that that the wallpapers are for the 12.9" iPad Pro and that's why I don't get people saying that it confirms the 10.5" version being announced at WWDC.

It is says that the picture of a 10.5 Pro with this wallpaper would be the packing box picture of 10.5 Pro

I am dreaming they will be the 10.5" and the 13.7" iPad :D What's the point of selling the bigger one with thicker bezel, come on!
As for the hole, I think it fits camera + flash. Definitely not a double camera with flash... and we have to give the flash for granted, I guess.
[doublepost=1495472884][/doublepost]Btw... how does the 2 mini UI fit with the rumors of the mini being discontinued? Will it live only as a software interface format? :D

I'm guessing either dual camera, or camera and flash?

Camera on top and flash on the bottom.

Honestly, the "news" of these cases is old news. We knew about this at least a month ago. And it was posted in this forum.

Must be another slow news day for MacRumors content staff, just like the "iOS 11 Concept" news.
 
we now know the physical dimensions also
length of 10.13 inches (257 mm), width of 7.06 inches (179 mm), and a thickness of 0.25 inches (6.4 mm)
vs
240mm and 170mm

So i guess, its kind of big for just 10.5". Some reports said it could have 10.8"
 
I am not so happy Apple decided to introduce the 10.5" iPad Size I thought the 9.7" size was just the right size between the iPhone Plus and a 12.9" iPad why now introduce a bigger size iPad which is going to be slight taller and thicker and more in width than the 9.7" iPad I don't know for potential buyers like me who are contemplating an idea to upgrade their iPad it is not good news that the 10.5" iPad is being introduced the 9.7" iPad Pro was just about perfect.

This is indeed hugely puzzling, there are people with muscle memory to the 9.7" form factor, and there is a sea of 3rd party accessories designed for that as well since the original iPad. Perhaps we need to see the final specs of the panel resolution / footprint to fairly judge the reasons to the change. But for me personally, if it isn't a bazel-less OLED then why even bother.

But I mean c'mon 10.5" size is huge ? where is the portability gone with that. 9.7" Size was just the right form factor with not being too small and at the same time not being too big. For people who want bigger size the 12.9" is always there. But 10.5" does not make sense !

I know that it is popular to clamor for an OLED display but most don't realize that there will be a price to pay for it. A direct cost simply because of manufacturing and an indirect cost in wildly fluctuating battery life.

Well, you are going to have to decide, won't you?

I know you want a future-proof iPad above as else. (Whatever that means.) :rolleyes:

If the 10.5" comes in with 4gb RAM, you will automatically buy it.

If it comes with 2gb RAM, you will be sorely disappointed and hem and haw about whether to get one. Just like you acted when the Pro 9.7" came out.

If the 10.5" cord with 3gb RAM, what you will decide then???

I know your type. And I have a good memory. :)

Because they wanted to in March but delays pushed it out.

I don't know what delays, it's not a massive redesign and I don't think there is much new tech that would delay it. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't appear at WWDC and is in fact announced in September.
