Alleged “iPad Pro” specs leak

Could Apple be working on a 12.2″ tablet to compete with Microsoft’s Surface? More rumours are swirling.

We’ve been hearing about a so-called “iPad Pro” for some time – but now BGR is reporting that Apple isn’t working on a 12.9″ tablet as previously rumoured – but a slightly smaller (though still bigger than iPad Air 2) 12.2″ device – which would put it on a par with the likes of the Surface Pro 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

BGR goes on to add that the same rumours, which emerged from a Japanese Apple blog, suggest the device will feature TouchID, an iSight camera – and speakers and microphones on the top and bottom of the device. It would be slightly thicker than the iPad Air 2, but slightly thinner than the iPad Air.

In any case, we probably won’t hear anything (even if it is real) before next October, and it will not – I repeat – will not run OS X, as idiots have been claiming.
