Apple has already released a number of brand new products this year, with majority of them being follow-up products to previous generation devices. Most of the company's major offerings, including the new iPhone and the brand new MacBook Pro, have already been released. However, there seems to be a number of products that are still nowhere in sight, like the highly anticipated new iPad Pro tablet.

With the company's addition of several tablet line-ups, including the iPad Air and the iPad Mini, the tablet brands are slowly blurring the lines of what really separates them from each other. Several reports have even claimed that Apple may decide to discontinue one or two of the brands in order to further streamline their production process and get rid of the clutter.

Despite these rumors, some fans are still adamant in their belief that Apple may still be coming out with a brand new iPad Pro in the next few months. Majority of the reports, however, have predicted that the company may be releasing the new product sometime in early 2017. According to a recently published report from KGI Securities analyst, Ming-Chi Kou, Apple may be releasing three variants of its new iPad Pro line. This will reportedly include a 9.7-inch, a 10.5-inch, and a 12.9-inch version. The report further speculated that the company may be unveiling these devices during a launch event likely to be held in March of next year.

As for the rumored specs and features for the upcoming tablet, reports have claimed that the new tablets may be sporting a significantly sleeker profile along with an almost bezel-less display. The device will also likely be coming with an upgraded processor, believed to be an Apple A11 chipset, along with a larger amount of RAM. Majority of the claims have yet to be confirmed, which means that they still remain to be mere speculation unless Apple says otherwise.
