In the past, Apple has always stuck to their own calendar of releasing their products. With the coming of the iPad Pro 2, it is likely that it will be released by September, Crossmap noted. Given the success of the previous iPad Pro releases, there is a possibility that Apple may delay the iPad Pro 2.

The iPad Pro 2 is expected to come in different variants and internal storage and priced accordingly. It is rumored that the iPad Pro 2 could have a minimum 32GB or 64GB variant at $800. The 128GB variant could cost around $950 while the 256GB iPad Pro 2 could be around $1,000. The 128GB iPad Pro 2 with WiFi and Cellular could be pegged at $1,080 while the 256GB with WiFi and Cellular might cost around $1,230.

iPad Pro 2, to Replace Laptops, Computers?
While it is true that the iPad Pro 2 have features and accessories that can rival desktop computers and laptops, the idea of entrusting a tablet to do heavy computer workload may not be for everybody. Furthermore, iPad Pro 2 accessories like the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil are sold separately and may be too expensive for some.
