iPad Pro 2 release date, specs rumors: New tablet set to feature powerful A10x chipset
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.
