Additional information pointing towards a trio of new Ipad models available from Apple in the spring, but the future of the Ipad Mini is more uncertain.
previously it has been rumored that Apple is planning to update the main model of the #Ipad in the spring, namely #Ipad Pro with a screen of 12.9 inches. In addition to this circulating data on a brand new size with a display screen on a 10 or 10.5 inches, which will replace the current Ipad Pro 9.7 inch. This size, however, should also be left in the form of a new model with a lower price. These data came from the well-known analyst #Ming-Chi Kuo, who now once again gone out with similar tasks to their customers.
Today, there are two models of Ipad Pro, but how about the future?
In a mailing, write Kuo that the new Ipad models during the second quarter of the year, and that they will have a new design with thinner borders around the screen. This is according to Apple Insider. A new design with thinner frames correspond well with the data from november, that the next Ipad may not have a physical home key.
Both the 12.9 and the new 10-inch model is expected to get a variant of the A10 processor that sits in the Iphone 7, but with stronger graphics performance, called the A10X. This is in line with what Apple had previously done with the Ipad. A10X-the processor shall, according to Kuo are manufactured by TSMC.
The big question is what will happen with the Ipad Mini, which at this point has not been updated since 2015. Before the launch of Ipad Mini 4 went there several rumors that Apple was considering to retire the smaller size. According to previous data from October, the Ipad Mini, however, is updated, and obtain the equivalent features as the Ipad Pro.
How shall it be with the Ipad Mini?
9.7 inch variant which will be something of a budget model will instead get an A9 processor of the same type that sits in the 2015 Iphone 6S. To their customers, writes Kuo, this model is expected to become a bestseller because of the lower price.
Despite this, predicts Kuo that the Ipad sales will continue to decline in 2017, although less than it did during the last year. Kuo writes that “the worst is over” for the Ipad family, and mean to more advanced models with higher price will act positively for Apple’s revenue from the product category. Apple has currently not announced an event in the spring of 2017, but in the last two years, the company has implemented a event in the month of march.
