Rumors about the larger and upgrade version of the iPad tablet began brewing as soon as the device came into production. Now the rumors are getting more interesting as people close to Apple claim that the company is working on a 12.9-inch iPad model.
Many analysts speculate that the device, rumored to be iPad Pro, will be revealed in the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference which will open its doors on June 8, according to Vine Report. Despite credible tech sites claiming the existence of the project, Apple has been very secretive about the device's specs.
According to Mac Rumors, the iPad Pro will sport a 12.9-inch screen with display resolution of 2732 x 2048 and an impressive 265 pixel per inch density. Some rumors claim that the iPad Pro will only have a 12.2-inch display, this proves to be simply a rumor after a leaked industrial rendering from Apple that shows a 12.-9-inch display.
Apple's component suppliers from Asia suggested that the iPad Pro will have a higher pixel density compared to the iPad Air 2. Some even claim that the device have high-definition display quality.
Speculation about the inclusion of Force Touch technology is also making waves on the tech community. Apple recently introduced Force Touch technology on some of its latest releases, most notable of these is the Apple Watch and Retina MacBook.
Force Touch is a new pressure sensitive technology developed by Apple that can distinguish between hard and soft presses made on the device's touchscreen display.
As for the iPad Pro's specs, it will probably take advantage of Apple's newest A8 processor present in the iPhone and iPhone 6 Plus. However, an iPad running on the A9 processor is also possible since the processor will give the device more power and performance upgrade.
