Apple Pencil is also expected to be more developed upon the release of the iPad Pro 2 in order to help with its goal. There are reports which suggest that the next gen iPad will get released alongside Macbook Pro 2016 later this year.
In addition, it is also widely reported that the device will have a 7000-series aluminum chassis, the same material from iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, which should make the mini tablet durable and thinner than its predecessors. With this, is it still possible to expect any iPad Pro or iPad Mini upgrade before the year ends?
It was also reported by University Herald that the iPad Mini 5 will share the spotlight with the MacBook Pro 2016, which was also expected to make a debut on Apple’s september 7. For instance, it has been widely rumored that the iPad Mini 5 will ditch the standard 3.5mm headphone jack and will instead have the D-jack, according to PC Advisor. Apparently, it will be running on an A10 processing chip with the iOS 10.
The next gen iPad is expected to come with a smaller battery and two cameras specifically a 1.2 MP secondary front camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera. The increase of base storage is because of the upgraded features under the hood. The fifth-generation device may be down but definitely not out, or at least, that is what rumors are trying to suggest. All are available in Silver and Space Grey variants, while the iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro additionally come in Gold colour. As of writing, Apple does not offer options to expand the memory of a device; hence 256 GB is actually beneficial. As Apple fans may already know, these were the features anticipated for the iPhone 7.
Apple’s iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4 comes with bigger and better storage while the newest and much awaited iPad Pro costs less than expected.
