While Apple has yet to officially announce the release of the iPad Pro 2, speculations claimed that the device will be the best tablet on the market to date.

A report from Mobile & App claimed that the second-generation iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with the Cupertino-based tech gadget manufacturer's latest A10X processor.

According to the report, the A10X managed to reach a score of 4,236 on Apple's single-center test. The chipset also received a multiprocessor score of 6,588. A report from iTechPost revealed that its predecessor, the A9X, only has a score of 4,990. This means that the new chipset will be two times more powerful compared to the A9X.

Other rumored specs about the upcoming iPad Pro 2 claimed that the tablet will come out with a 12-megapixel primary camera with Retina Flash and iSight technology, while its secondary shooter will reportedly have 5-megapixels. It is also expected to be equipped with a 4 GB RAM space.

The upcoming tablet will also be equipped with quad stereo speakers and a Smart Connector so it can support accessories like a keyboard. The device is also expected to run using the tech firm's newest iOS 10 mobile operating system.

There are also reports claiming that the iPad Pro 2 line will still have the 3.5mm headphone jack, which Apple decided to remove on the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

An earlier report from Japanese blog site Macotakara revealed that the upcoming iPad Pro product line will come in three sizes. One will be the smaller 7.9-inch tablet, which is rumored to be called the iPad mini Pro. Then the 9.7-inch variety of first-generation iPad Pro will be replaced with a bigger 10.2-inch version. It will also have a bigger 12.9-inch model as well, which is expected to attract users with businesses.

Apple is expected to announce the release of the iPad Pro 2 in the coming days.
