This new line-up of iPads is expected to include an entry-level version with a 9.7-inch display, a mid-range version with a 10.5-inch display, and a high-end version with a substantial 12.9-inch display which will act as a successor to the current-gen iPad Pro.

The highly anticipated September event of tech giant Apple finally concluded, but none of its iPad devices, including the iPad mini 5, were launched.
All of Apple’s iPads will now reflect the storage capacity of its newly released smartphone lineup which means that the iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, and both of the iPad Pro models will come with 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options. Its overall design may just be similar to the iPad mini 4 and it may also get the same 7.9-inch Retina display. Apple saw a slump across all product lines, but the iPad has seen the biggest slide as interest in tablets has slowly declined over the years.
According to reports, the anticipated iPad mini 5 may have been absent on the recent September 7 Apple event, and the official Apple website may have changed a few details about the iPads.
Pricing: $649 for iPhone 7 32 GB model, $749 for 128 GB, $849 for 256 GB; $769 for iPhone 7 Plus 32 GB, $869 for 128 GB, $969 for 256 GB. With this, is it still possible to expect any iPad Pro or iPad Mini upgrade before the year ends? Like the iPhone 7 that lose its traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack, the iPad Pro 2 may also follow the wireless headphone trend. However, the feature add-on is likely to come out, given that Apple’s fiercest rival Microsoft is said to come out with an improved Surface Pen for its upcoming Surface Pro 5 slate.
The iPad mini 5 is rumored to arrive this month. As iPad Pro 2 9.7 inch will be the most affordable among the three variations, it will be powered by A9X chipset. However, the iPad mini 2, which is the oldest out of the bunch, will only have a 32GB model and nothing else. The iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4 doesn’t have a 16 GB storage anymore, but instead the storage was revamped and increased up to 32 GB as the minimum storage.
