Apple is expected to launch their new 12 inch iPad Pro this year, and now according to a recent report, the company may also launch a stylus with the device.
The 12 inch iPad Pro could either come bundled with a stylus, or Apple could offer the stylus as an optional accessory for their new larger tablet.
Enhanced User Experience with Stylus
The inclusion of a stylus with the iPad Pro could significantly enhance the user experience, particularly for professionals and creatives. A stylus would allow for more precise input, making it ideal for tasks such as drawing, graphic design, and note-taking. This would position the iPad Pro as a strong competitor to other tablets that already offer stylus support, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S series.
The last thing we heard about the new iPad Pro is that the device would be going into production some time in quarter two of 2015, so that would be between April and June. This timeline suggests that Apple is gearing up for a mid-year launch, possibly to coincide with their annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), which takes place between the 8th and 12th of June.
Expected Specifications and Features
The new larger 12 inch iPad Pro is rumored to come with a 12.9 inch display that is said to have a Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. This high-resolution display would be perfect for viewing detailed images and videos, as well as for professional applications that require a lot of screen real estate. The device is also expected to feature the Apple A8X processor that launched with the latest generation iPad Air. The A8X processor is known for its high performance and energy efficiency, making it well-suited for a larger device like the iPad Pro.
In addition to the powerful processor, the iPad Pro is also expected to come with 2GB of RAM. While this may not seem like a lot compared to some high-end laptops, it is more than sufficient for a tablet, especially one running iOS, which is optimized for performance and efficiency. The combination of the A8X processor and 2GB of RAM should ensure that the iPad Pro can handle even the most demanding applications with ease.
If production of the new larger iPad is rumored for some time in the second quarter, then it is possible that Apple could make the device official at their World Wide Developer Conference which takes place between the 8th and 12th of June. This would be a fitting venue for the launch, as WWDC is where Apple typically unveils its latest software and hardware innovations.
The upcoming 12 inch iPad Pro promises to be a significant addition to Apple’s tablet lineup. With its large, high-resolution display, powerful processor, and potential stylus support, it is poised to be a versatile tool for both professionals and casual users alike. As we await the official announcement, it will be interesting to see how Apple positions the iPad Pro in the market and what additional features and accessories they may offer.
