There is a big chance that the iPad Air 3 release will really happen on Mar. 21 launch event of Apple as iPad Pro discounts surfaced.
Despite being released late last year, iPad Pro discounts already emerged and hinted that a new iPad model is coming soon. A decrease in price could mean that the tech company is trying to catch the attention of consumers to have a renewed interest on the device.
According to Apple Insider, B&H offer the lowest price on iPad Pro of up to $80 off on models. B&H also offers no sales tax, unless you are ordering from New York. AppleCare extended protection plan is also available for $99.

Two smaller devices are expected to debut this month from Apple. The tech company will reportedly bring back a 4-inch smartphone dubbed as iPhone 5SE, which stands for "special edition". Apple is not a front runner when it comes to offering smartphones with huge screens. The rumored smartphone will reportedly include most of the high end features like higher iPhone models, except large screen and 3D Touch technology.
According to 9to5 Mac, Apple will also announce a new tablet this month at its supposed March 21 launching event. Contrary to the popular belief that the new tablet is the iPad Air 3, but new rumors claim that a smaller iPad Pro is on the way.
The 9.7 inch iPad Pro will reportedly cater to consumers that are looking for tablets with slightly smaller screen size than iPad Pro, but with the same specs and features with the bigger iPad Pro. Doing this is nothing new for the company as Apple has done this in 2011 when it discontinued the consumer-focused 13-inch MacBook and left the 13-inch MacBook Pro to fill its spot in the line-up. The MacBook Pro was aimed at professionals, but proved just as popular for consumers despite costing $200 more than the discontinued model.
Meanwhile, Apple has not revealed any of its future plans and no one knows certainly whether we will see a number of smaller devices from Apple soon.
