On Apple’s site, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro now costs $599 for the 32GB model, $699 for the 128GB model and $799 for the 256GB model. All the base models of all the iPads now get 32GB of storage.

Apple, which officially launched the iPhone 7 and the larger iPhone 7 Plus on September 7, has now introduced a price-cut on its older flagships – the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. However, some say that Apple might prioritize the latest model of the iPad Pro instead. As you’d expected, it has a premium price tag, but Apple’s price strategy is very confusing if you’re looking for the “best value” iPhone. The smallest new model of last year’s 6s is now the 32GB $929 iPhone 6s, with a 128GB model available for $1079.

According to the report, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated Apple is planning on launching a low-priced iPad in 2017 and this tablet will come with the A9X processor.

The iPhone 7 Plus has dual 12-megapixel cameras on back. Apple’s iPhone 7 will be the first iPhone to be available with a base of 32GB, starting at $649.

The biggest changes are for the newer iPad Pros, unsurprisingly. So from this point on there isn’t a single iPad version you can order with just 16GB of storage.

This move is in line with Apple’s decision to start the iPhone 7 models at 32GB of storage, foregoing the 16GB options completely. So if you plan on keeping your iPhone around for more than a couple years, considering shelling out the extra $100 for a higher-capacity model.

There is a host of conjectures floating around about the upcoming iPad Mini, and the most notable of them is that the new device may come with the improved A9 processor (as opposed to the A8 that was previously seen), which will come with iOS 10 preinstalled.
