A rumor that appeared during this day confirms again the fact that Apple intends to launch a tablet iPad with a 10.5-inch screen at the beginning of 2017. We are talking about a new iPad Pro tablet that will be included in the series, between the one with a 9.7-inch screen and the one with a 12.9-inch screen, the Apple company looking to attract a new set of customers.
According to the sources of the information that appeared today, the Apple company intends to start the production of this new model of the iPad during December. Its launch, as well as that of new tablet models with 9.7 and 12.9 inch screens, will take place in March, with Apple organizing a special conference in the spring.
The reason behind the launch of this tablet with a 10.5 screen is based on the fact that products with such diagonal screens are extremely popular in the educational and business environments. According to sources close to Apple, tablets with 9.7-inch screens are too small to be useful in these environments, and those with 12.9-inch screens are too expensive.
The iPad with a 10.5-inch screen will be released in 2017
In this idea, the tablet with a 10.5 inch screen will be launched to fit as well as possible the needs of those in these sectors. Apple wants to implement in this tablet an A10X processor, which will also be used in the iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen, so we are talking about very high processing power for this future product.
"Apple will launch the 10.5-inch iPad in 2017, with production to begin in December. Apple is launching the 10.5-inch iPad mainly because 10-inch and larger tablets have been popular among enterprises and the education sector in the US. Its existing 9.7-inch iPad may be too small and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro too expensive for such procurement, the sources indicated. The 10.5-inch iPad will be equipped with the Apple-developed CPU A10X which is also used in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Apple will also launch lower-price versions of the 9.7-inch iPad to compete with Android models."
This is the third or fourth time we see such information regarding this iPad model, so its release at the beginning of next year seems more and more certain.
