Apple’s new iPad Pro goes on sale next month and according to a recent report, Apple has ordered 2.5 million units of their new tablet from their suppliers for the launch of the iPad Pro.
This is a relatively low number for Apple to order from its suppliers, although the high cost of the new tablet has something to do with the low order.
