In March 2017, the company can produce three tablets of the iPad Pro line, including updated versions of the 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch tablets, as well as a new model with a limp 10.9-inch display, Macrumors writes with reference to Barclays data.
According to the report of analysts who relies on the information received from Apple suppliers, the new frameless iPad Pro will have the same physical dimensions as the 9.7-inch model. Thus, the device, apparently, will lose its usual home button, since the screen will occupy almost the entire front surface of the tablet.
Note that rumors about Apple plans to expand the line of iPad Pro devices appeared a few months ago, but the sources call the different screen diagonal of the future device. Thus, the famous analyst at Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will release a 10.5 inch tablet, while the Japanese technological blog Macotakara will describe a 10.1 inches device.
According to representatives of Barclays, the updated 9.7-inch iPad Pro will be belonging to the category of inexpensive Apple tablets along with the 7.9-inch iPad mini tablet, which, according to analysts, the company does not plan to update.
