iPad Pro is a tablet that the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is gearing up to release it sometime next year, and it looks like it won't be available in stores until Q2 2014, which is March at the earliest, with initial rumors pointing to a January-February launch. According to an analyst with genuine information about unreleased Apple products, sales of iPad tablets will fall by up to 50% in Q1 2015, as Apple delays the launch iPad Pro for Q2 2015 for this reason. According to the analyst, only a maximum of 10 million iPad tablets would be sold in Q1 2015, a figure that would be halved from that which Apple should register in Q4 2014.
We forecast iPad shipments will fall 54.5% QoQ to 9.8mn units in 1Q15, given a lack of new applications, tablet market saturation and slow season... We believe that, in a major shift, while Apple (US) used to be able to use new form factor designs to boost demand, it has failed to do so this time around. The lighter and thinner iPad Air 2 will make strong headwinds in increasing sales in 1Q15.
In iPad Pro Apple will use a screen panel made of a new material, the tablet will have a high screen resolution, a better response rate than current tablets and better color saturation. Basically Apple expects its iPad tablets to go through a very bad period in terms of sales and this is normal since these products are not as popular as in previous years, so it remains to be seen what evolution they will have.
