However, many Apple enthusiasts do not need all the goodies in the smaller iPad Pro, and all they want is 9.7-inch tablet that would supplement their other gadgets.

Other rumors suggest that it could also come with a Smart Connector, four speakers, a high-resolution display screen and a flash on its main camera. However, this would make it even closer to the specs of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which could suffer tremendously.
