If a few days ago we told you the predictions that the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made about the new iPhone 7 and even the iPhone 8 next year, now the same analyst dares to make them on the Apple iPad range. According to Kuo, Apple plans to launch a new iPad Pro with a new screen size next year, at 10,5 inches., keeping the current models, both the 12,9-inch and the 9,7-inch. Three iPad Pro models with such similar screens? Will the iPad Mini still be on Apple's shelves? We give you more details below.
We expect three new iPads in 2017: a 12,9-inch model, a 9,7-inch model, and a new 10,5-inch size. Although this will not help to increase sales of Apple's tablet, that the iPad is available in a 10,5-inch size may be well seen by commerce and the education sector. Both the 12,9 and 10,5-inch models would adopt the new A10X processors, supplied entirely by TSMC with 10nm technology. The "cheapest" 9,7-inch iPad would surely stick with the A9X processor, also made exclusively by TSMC.
Kuo even dares to look further and make predictions for the following year, 2018, ensuring that Apple will apply important changes to the design of the iPad and the screens would become AMOLED.
Apple would launch a new model in 2018 with radical changes in its design and shape, including a new flexible AMOLED screen, thus following in the footsteps of the iPhone that will also adopt this technology that same year. These new flexible screens would really help you improve your sales.
Kuo ends by adding that he does not expect new models this year.So there would be no iPad Pro-related presentations at Keynote next September, something that obviously won't help improve tablet sales this year.
