I have zero interest in iPad Pro,what I'm looking forward to is some leaks about the new iPad Mini.(the very best iPad form factor hands down).
I want a slimmer,lighter iPad mini with better,more vibrant screen and faster processor and definitely 2 GB of Ram.

For people like me that hate the iPad's size. The mini is cool for some stuff but the iPad really never fit into my lifestyle. Now a 12" will replace the Air for quick look ups and what not.
2048 is the same number of pixels as the current iPad in landscape mode. I think it shouldn't be too hard to adjust. Just take your existing iPad in portrait mode and extend it further.
16:9 is horrible for a tablet. Not least because the virtual keyboard would take up half the screen already.
LOL, that's better than the Apple Thunderbolt Display's resolution. They need to update that thing already.

You're absolutely right. Problem is, the bean counter in charge of Apple these days realizes if they released a Surface-like competitor, it would cannibalize both their laptop and tablet markets. He'd rather sell you two products instead of one.
The entire concept of a pro iPad is DOA with iOS installed. No, OS X isn't the answer, but a gimped blown-up phone OS would get laughed off stage for a pro product, no matter how many "new features" they bandage onto it. And YES, it WILL have iOS installed. They will never back down from that mistake.
I can't imagine Apple wanting to push this iOS device as a "Pro" piece of hardware. My guess is they call it the iPad Plus
They want to sell you a Mac and a IPad.
What about this:
-Release an iPad pro.
-Release a very thin metal keyboard with Mac/PC hardware in it.( like the keyboard part of the new MacBook ) that can connect to the iPad pro and can act like a cover.
-make it dual boot. Without the keyboard cover it only runs iOS .
-with the keyboard cover attached you can choose between OS X and iOS .
This way apple will sell more iPads, but will also sell macs.

As long as there is no difference in function (like the 6 vs 6+) then I'd rather get an iPad air for portability.
One would expect it to have a faster processor, more RAM, more battery, stuff like that. It wouldn't just be the same but with a bigger screen. (The 6+ has some advantages over the 6, BTW. They're not the same.)
Not to mention that Apple's been pushing developers to use Auto Layout for something like 4 years now, if I recall correctly. If they have to update their app for every new screen resolution ever, it's really their own damn fault at this point.
You should try watching those shows and others on an actual large screen TV with a proper surround sound setup. One trillion percent more immersive and scarier.
As for this iPad pro? I'm wondering if the sheer size of the device will be an issue. Even if it's super light, that won't help if it seems unwieldy or hard to hold. I have this feeling that it will be like holding a small flatscreen TV in your hands. It could work....but I wonder.
That's what the Apple Store is for, right? Go check it out and assess.
Sorry my wording was off, I know there is a difference that is why I put 6 v 6+
Although why wouldn't they stick the same processor and ram in the air 3 unless it will be thinner than the pro?
Absolutely.
And can you imagine the injuries if Apple brought out a portable with a 15" screen? Apple would have to build new hospitals just to accommodate all the crippled. I won't dwell on the absurdity of a 17" screen...
