Apple iPad Pro 2 release date in 2017? specs, features roundup

(REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach)The iPad Pro 2, the follow-up to the iPad Pro (pictured), is rumored to be released in 2017.

There was a lot of anticipation for the launch of Apple's newest products during last week's event. However, many were left disappointed as there was no news regarding the much awaited iPad Pro 2.

Many people were expecting to learn more about the new iPad Pro device during Apple's event last week. Though they revealed a lot of new features for the iPhone 7 as well as for the iPhone 7 Plus, fans can only speculate what the next iPad Pro installment will bring to the market.

Because Apple did not unveil the iPad Pro 2 last week, there are reports concluding that the device will not be released until next year. Nevertheless, many are looking forward to the new Apple device as it is expected to bring a lot of enhancements to the line.

It is believed that the iPad Pro 2 will be designed specifically for commercial and educational needs, which is why it will include improvements in its user interface. It was rumored that it will have better panning, scrolling, as well as zooming capabilities. Aside from that, it will be available in two variants, allowing customers to find the best fit for their needs.

The upcoming iPad Pro 2 is expected to release with 10.5-inch and 9.7-inch screens. The 10.5-inch variant is said to utilize the A10X processor chip while the 9.7-inch variant will use the A9X processor chip.

In addition, the Apple Pen will be put to more use for the upcoming device. Though the Apple Pen was included in the previously released iPad Pro, it was not fully utilized as many apps did not support it yet. However, it was stated that the Apple Pen will be of more use when the upcoming devices release.

Unfortunately, there has yet to be any official source revealing details about what the next installment will bring.
