The iPad line-up received no announcement from Apple at the recent event. Hence, the market is eagerly waiting for the next-gen iPads. Currently, we are expecting a major overhaul in the upcoming iPad line ups in 2017.

Many exciting features will be expected in the iPad Pro 2. We can get a hint with the Touch ID in MacBook. A Smart Connector, True Tone display, four speakers, and a 12-megapixel rear-facing iSight camera with True Tone flash is some of the features expected in the next iPad.

A famous Japanese blog Mac Otakara have predicted that the iPad Pro 2 will be shipped in three different display variants of 7.9-inch, 10.1-inch, and 12.9-inch around Spring 2017.

As per the rumors, the 12.9-inch model will feature a True Tone display like its current 9.7-inch counterpart. It will also come with advanced four-channel ambient light sensors to automatically adapt the color and intensity of the display to match the light in the surrounding environment. 

Apple is planning to remove the headphone jacks from its every new handheld device. Be it iPhones or iPads, they all will get a major hardware change with the introduction of Ear Pods. The upcoming iPad will feature quad microphones.

As per the predictions of the KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who in August said Apple is planning to release three new iPads in 2017. However, it could claim that the models would include a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2, 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and a low-cost 9.7-inch iPad. 

We can expect more RAM and better processor in the upcoming iPad. It is expected to be launched with iOS 11 and feature the powerful A10X processors. Rumors speculate 3GB RAM in smaller iPads and 4GB RAM in the bigger models.

Stay tuned for updates on the iPad Pro 2 release date.
