If reports are anything to go by, upcoming iPad Pro models will be less costly.
The Cupertino-based Apple will launch three iPad Pro tablets in March next year.
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be updated and a 10.9-inch bezel-less iPad Pro will be the same size as the iPad Pro 9.7-inch.
Several reports suggest that the tech giant is not planning to launch an updated version of the iPhone SE in at a press event in March next year.
However, Apple is planning to launch next-generation versions of 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, MacRumors reported. Further, the software company is scheduled to unveil a new member to the iPad Pro family - a new 10.9-inch model. The company will unveil the three iPad Pro models and will offer one at an affordable price.
Reports claim that the company is planning to price the 9.7-inch model at a lower price. It will market the 9.7-inch iPad Pro as a low-cost tablet together with the iPad mini 4 that is not expected to be updated.
The new 10.9-inch iPad Pro will reportedly feature a bezel-less display. It is said that the upcoming iPhone 8 will feature a bezel-less curved display that will have a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and virtual force touch Home button.
Buyers should anticipate new accessories that make use of the Smart Connector that allows the tablets to connect to accessories through a proprietary port.
Also, the new iPad Pro models may support an updated version of Apple Pencil that will decrease the cost of the first-generation model, whereas the Apple Pencil 2 will gain extra features.
Before the releasing of the 2016 MacBook Pro, many rumors surfaced stating that the Cupertino-based company would be unveiling the next-gen iMac in the event.
However, during the 'Hello Again' event, the device was not mentioned at all, fueling rumors that it would be launched in early next year, Macworld UK reported.
One of the reasons behind the delay of the iMac 2017's release would be Kaby Lake chipsets. For the 2016 MacBook Pro, the tech company settled on 6th generation Skylake chipsets. However, there is a slim chance that the software company would do the same strategy for the iMac.
