Microsoft Surface Pro 4 With iPad Pro Release Dates, Features and Specs
Analysts from J.P. Morgan tells investors in a note that following the start of parts shipments for iPad Pro next month Apple is likely going to reach a production capacity of one million units per month by the end of this year.
The Microsoft Surface hasn’t had the easiest of rides in its short lifetime (the first device appeared in 2012) but with the most recent batch of models there are signs that Microsoft is finally getting its act together, and another upgrade is expected soon. This means the company intends to draw users to its gaming consoles, smartphones, and tablets onto the latest OS.
According to multiple reports, Microsoft is now giving discounts to its predecessor – Microsoft Surface Pro 3 – which many speculates that the upcoming next-generation Surface Pro release is nearing.
Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 needs to be a game changer and that is because not only Windows 10 depends on it, but the tablet market share for the company as well. And then of course there is the matter of the iPod Pro model as well.
Apple’s September 9 event is said to focus on the announcement of the #iPhone6s and the #iPhone6sPlus as we all know. At the same time, the Surface Pro 4 will have a slightly improved design that will make it seem weightless and thin, in order to rival against similar options from Apple.
The new iPad Pro (and that’s believed to be the official name) is said to be running the iOS 9.1 operating system with additional tweaks for the device including optimized versions of the Siri and Notification Center interfaces.
Tech Times revealed that the gadget will come with a high-end version that costs around $1,300 with a reported 4K screen resolution and the rumored 16GB of RAM.
iPad Pro gets bigger with 12.9-inch screen. Microsoft Windows activation rates have also improved; from 4% to 10%. However, taking into account the power and the functionality of the Surface Pro 3, its relatively poor battery performance is understandable, and even forgivable. That’s not as exciting for those of us who mostly use our tablets for gaming, but it is a big deal to people who want to use them for productivity purposes.
A growth of 20% in the company’s share of the tablet market, in 2016; is quite achievable given the launch of Surface Pro 4.
The iPad Air 2 is priced from £399 to £659, but it’s still just a tablet, with Microsoft’s Surface is more of a tablet and laptop hybrid two-in-one.
