The iPad Air and the new Retina iPad mini are really making their mark and Apple's tablet range is as diverse as it has ever been. We are seeing more and more companies going larger than the 9.7 inch diameter of the full size iPad device and there have been plenty of suggestions that Apple is going to release a 12.9 inch Retina iPad in 2014.
If rumors are to be believed, manufacturers have been given the go ahead to produce this large iPad which is going to be called the iPad Pro. It is due to be released during the first part of 2014. Just as with all the talk about the iPad mini prior to its release, the notion of an iPad Pro has been received with a decided amount of skepticism. The Korea Times have seemingly been informed that production of the 12.9 inch retina display is now in motion and we could see our first real indicator that this device is indeed real and will be released early next year.
The iPad 4, iPad Air and both iPad minis enjoyed a fall release ready for the holiday season, but with Apple familiar with what it takes to release an iPad in March, it could well be that the company is planning an early release of what will be the largest iPad to date. Apple does seem to have the form factor down to a fine art, with the uniform look and feel of the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display the subject of much acclaim. As such, we would expect the iPad Pro to look similar to the current models, but include that larger screen and perhaps more power.
Maintaining the Retina display over a larger surface area will push the iPad Pro into UHD territory. We also have to take into account if there is a market for such a big device. KGI Securitie's fairly accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also suggested that Apple will release a refreshed iPad Air early next year so we are going to take the rumors of the iPad Pro with a pinch of salt for the moment until more information is released. What do you think, would you be interested in a 12.9 inch iPad? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
