Apple iPad News: Company Could Unveil iPad Lineup in March
Apple is gearing up for a big reveal of its new iPad models, according to recent reports. The company will be holding a surprise March event, and three iPad models will launch alongside a new red iPhone 7 variant and an iPhone SE.
It has been an annual tradition for the tech giant to hold an event sometime in the month of March. If the reports online are true, Apple fans can look forward to a few very interesting updates for the company's iPad line and iPhone 7.
Japanese Apple-watchers from Mac Otakura have cited sources that have the details on a March event for the press. The presentation will highlight Apple's premium iPad line, the iPad Pro, and will introduce two new sizes, as reported by sources.
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.
