Leaks trying to prove the existence of the iPad Pro are as copious as Apple's silence about the alleged device. Although the giant tablet is not as concrete as rumors claim it to be, leakers believe that it is part of the Cupertino-based tech firm's future. 

For one, an image from a French publication called Nowhere Else shows just how gigantic the tablet would be. The photo features an alleged casing for an iPad Pro and an iPad Air 2 inside of it, implying that the device will be huge.

The publication stated that the tablet will measure no less than 12 inches. As for its thickness, reports claim it will be 0.28 inches, making it ultra thin. Its bezels will reportedly be made insanely slim, too, so the it is likely to be one of the sleekest device around by the time it comes out. 

Studying the casing made for the purported iPad Pro shows that the layout of slate will resemble that of the iPad Air 2, although it is said to sport the jacks for the stereo speakers on both top and bottom of the device and an alleged USB-C port or a lightning port on the left. There is also weight to claims that the port will be USB 3.0. 

Patterned heavily on the iPad Air 2, the device, as rumor mills claim, will be equipped with a triple core A8X processor. And simply because Apple has its signature features to integrate to its masterpieces, users can expect Touch ID. A stylus may be an optional acccessory as well. 

The unannounced device is also touted to be a health and fitness gadget, with several sensors such as an accelerometer, barometer and a gyroscope poised to outfit the tablet. The iPad Pro is also expected to run the latest iOS Apple during its alleged September 2015 release.
