Latest iPad release rumors pointed out that Apple might release a 10.5-inch iPad in the early months of 2017 to boost their existing product lineup.
The current Apple iPad lineup consists of 7.9-inch iPad mini, 9.7-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro, and a 12.9-inch iPad Pro. And with these reports of another inclusion, it is being suggested by experts that such rumored release would be targeting mainly the education and enterprise sector, according to Digitimes.
Based on the reports, this 10.5-inch gadget from Apple will likely be introduced together with other three screen sizes. The production of the said addition to the product line will most likely begin in December and to be followed by its product launching in March of 2017, according to 9to5Mac.
This marketing move of the tech-giant is seen by many as a revolutionary approach towards the market. Based on comments online, the current mid-range iPad is slightly too small for particular activities related mainly to education and enterprise. Thus, a rumored size upgrade is to be introduced to cater the expressed needs of the consumers without going overboard with the price.
Apart from the size upgrade to cater particular group sectors, it is also being suggested online that OLED display will also come with the latest Apple gadgets. And if true, then it is more likely expected that the 10-inch iPad will also come with OLED display.
When dealing with its hardware, DigiTimes also detailed that an Apple-developed CPU A10X will likely be incorporated with the 10.5-inch iPad. And such is expected to compete with Android models currently dominating the market in terms of 10-inch models.
With the current trend of size upgrade and remodelling, tech-savvys are now asking on whether the upcoming iPad will also adapt the trending bezel-less concept, which is now being introduced by Xiaomi brand.
However, there are still no details being given with regards to the bezel-less concept being applied to Apple products. Guess we would just have to wait and see how things will unfold next year during Apple's product launchings.
