IPad Pro Rumours and iPad Features You can Expect with iOS9

According to an IDC report, while Apple’s MacBook Air is still the market’s leader ultraportable PCs segment, its rivals Dell and Lenovo are slowly closing in. At 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro is expected to come with Intel’s new Skylake processor.

Effectively, the iPad Pro could be turned into a MacBook killer, a product that would rival similarly sized MacBooks and other laptops.

Although Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) focus might be on the impending launch of its upcoming iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, this has not stopped the company from pushing its rumored iPad Pro into mass production, according to various sources within its vast supplier network. And it has the advantage of being able to tightly integrate its own excellent software with its equally excellent hardware.

The stylus may also be compatible with older iPad models, but it depends on what version of iOS it’s running.

Though the bigger iPad is said to include a pressure sensitive Force Touch screen, it could launch alongside an optional Bluetooth stylus that also features Force Touch.

Second, respected KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told his investors that he expects to see the iPad Pro go into production in September anor October. DigiTimes has not been entirely accurate in its recent rumors, predictions and speculations.

The tablet is rumored to run on a hybrid operating system that combines the best features of the impending iOS 9 and OS X.

DigiTimes insiders reveal that Apple will forego the release of the iPad Air 3 this year in order to give way to the iPad mini 4.

Rumors of a larger screened iPad have persisted for well over a year now and there’s now enough evidence to suggest that Apple in 2015 will take the wraps off of a 12.9-inch iPad.

I use a MacBook Air and it has everything I want in a portable computing device except for two things – no touchscreen and no tiny tablet footprint that enables me to read it in bed like a book. Comparatively, Apple’s MacBook Air models are yet to receive Retina displays.

However, new rumors indicated that the company has delayed the next generation laptop’s unveil to early next year instead.
