Last week saw the internet abuzz, when pictures reporting to show what Apple’s new 12.9” iPad Pro would look like, emerged out of China.
Although the quality of the image and product is crude, is shows an aluminium case with the Apple logo in the middle of its rear side, with an opening for a camera lens on the top left corner. Reports indicate that Apple is currently testing a version of the tablet with a 2K resolution screen, apart from a unit with a 4096 x 3072 display.
Interesting the reports surrounding the iPad Pro are suggesting that Apple are making these tablets for the education market. At the time when Microsoft have just launched the Surafce 3 it would be an interesting path if Apple were to reserve this large tablet just for the education sector.
Many are seeing Apple’s iPad Pro as a response to the ever growing popularity of Google’s Chromebooks. These have been extremely popular in US schools. Undoubtedly the schools market is something that is driving product innovation as schools become more tech savvy and are replacing the textbook with tablets.
