iPad Pro 10.5 inches seems to be a serious priority for the Apple company, those from Cupertino substantially increasing the production of the new tablet in view of its presentation at the beginning of June. According to some information that appeared during this day, Apple requested that 500.000 units of the iPad Pro 10.5 inches be manufactured in May, following that this figure will increase to 600.000 units per month until July.
Considering that Apple has asked for so many iPad Pro 10.5 inch tablets to be produced in May and is asking for an increase in production in the next two months, it is clear that the launch is approaching. Recent rumors have suggested that WWDC 2017 will be the conference where Apple will present the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, which will be released shortly thereafter.
With sales of iPad tablets in free fall, the Apple company hopes that the iPad Pro 10.5 inches will bring more customers to this segment of its own products. Considering that the 10.5-inch iPad Pro will not bring colossal changes to the iPad tablet line, apart from a screen that covers more of the front panel, it's hard to say how big the demand could be.
Considering the growing interest in phablets, people are no longer interested in buying tablets, especially ones with such large screens. For this reason, Apple would have decided to remove iPad Mini tablets from sale in the next period, and the rest of the line could follow in a few years if sales continue to decrease in this same way
"The upstream supply chain's shipments for Apple's new 10.5-inch iPad Pro have been increasing recently and the device's monthly shipment volume is expected to grow to 600,000 units in July, up from around 500,000 units currently, helping its annual shipments to reach five million units in 2017, according to some market watchers. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro began mass production in March-April."
