It is rumored that the Cupertino-based company is planning to reveal a mini-size 7.9-inch iPad Pro model, and a new 10.5-inch version of the tablet. These two new variants will launch along with a revamp of the existing 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch form factors of the iPad Pro. According to sources, these new models will come with upgraded processors and even a design update.

This is the first time that the company will offer a 7.9-inch iPad Pro, and a 10.5-inch slate, Fortune points out. The reports have no mention of the next 7.9-inch iPad Mini, or any of the budget-oriented iPads for that matter.

Along with the iPad Pro reveal, the company will also be introducing a new iPhone 7 variant, according to the rumor. Apple could be introducing a red-colored model for the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus, a much-awaited variation from the pastels and neutral colors of the current lineup.

The event will also unveil a 128 GB version of the iPhone SE, the report claims. This will be the biggest storage upgrade for the budget-oriented iPhone line to date.
