cant wait. i'd take 13inch in a heartbeat. not anything larger though. 13inch would be perfect. fits in backpacks easily. anything bigger will have problems.
Got a tip for us?

9 inch or 12 inch iPad Pro 4k resolution
+Updated Camera
+Touch ID
+A7X with 2GB RAM
-------------------------------
I'll buy that in a heartbeat with a starting price 200 over the 499
so 699/799/899. Let's see it happen!
haha when i saw that in Ipad Pro 12.7 inch ( or whatever size you like) will be 8 MP camera, i laughed a lot! and loud!! haha people laughing at you when you taking a photo with an 9.7 Ipad, imagine you do it with 12.7..... HAHA
Of course on a Ipad Pro should be the best camera avaiable, to make it more convinient to take good quality pictures!
YES THAT MAKES SENSE! ONLY ITS NOT! hahahaha
It would be ridiculous. Now if its Touch ID, smaller bezel from top to bottom, 2GB RAM where as the Air is 1GB (nobody knows yet), and only 6 months down the line then I'd feel a little slighted.
13" screen
2" thick
24 hour battery life
8GB internal storage
$1999
j/k. But, it WILL happen sometime, and it will be popular due to a need for a larger screen. If Apple can bridge it into a desk tablet with a base containing extra storage and ports, and it can take on greater function, it's going to be amazing.

Bet it will cost a LOT more than the "AIR"...
And then you have the AIR Laptop to consider then...If im going to pay near $1000 for a PRO iPad, ill just get a laptop instead which has more processing power.
iPad = Portable and Light. Not for serious processing...

Once you buy an iPad, next year theres a new release. iPads don't need to be replaced so often in my opinion. If I get another iPad, it'd be the iPad mini. with or without retina display, I could care less.
There's no way this will happen. The easiest way for Apple to piss of the most loyal of loyal fanboys and girls would be to release something soon after so that all the people that stood in line or ordered on launch day would be one upped.
The iPad 4 wasn't a huge upgrade by any means and that had people in an uproar but that was a one time deal to align the iPad yearly release cycle to be ahead of instead of behind the holidays.

A 12" iPad running iOS 7 is pretty questionable. Very small market of people who would buy that. A 12" iPad running Mavericks on the other hand is very appealing. It'd be the touchscreen tablet a lot of power users have always wanted and it gives Mac users an answer to the now-finally-appealing Surface 2.
Time will tell if they go that route though. I would imagine that first we need to see evidence of Mavericks having touchscreen support.
Regardless, though, I think we will end up seeing a newer iPad in spring similar to how Apple dropped the 4 out of nowhere. But I think it will be same size and form factor and likely just add the Touch ID sensor, possibly come as a 256gb option and maybe have an A7X along with more than 1gb ram.
I'm tempted to wait, but I have no tablet currently and had already set my sights on the new iPad. If a better option comes out in spring I will just sell my current one. These things retain their value well.

Apple has been testing iPads with larger screen sizes for a while now, and there is a very good chance if it makes release it'll be called iPad Pro.

Sounds more like Asus.
I was going to buy an Asus eePC netbook (a few years ago), but after spending about an hour trying to puzzle through their 26 different iterations of size, memory, and naming conventions, I gave up and bought a dell...

Sometimes to many choices are a bad thing.
If it comes in March
A7X/A8/A8X SoC compared to A7 1.4Ghz for the Air
G6630 compared to the Air's G6430
2/4Gb of RAM compared to 1Gb of RAM for the Air
9.7 inch and 12.9 inch models
If you think about it-
The iPad mini is like the Macbook Air 11inch
The iPad Air is like the Macbook Air 13inch
The iPad Pro 9.7inch would be the Macbook Pro 13inch
The iPad Pro 12.9inch would be the Macbook Pro 15inch
Makes sense. Why is the iPad Air called the Air. Why does it only have the G6430 instead of the G6630, why does it only have 1Gb ofRAM yet 64bit increases the RAM footprint by 20-30%. Answer: iPad Pro.

No thank you I purchase wifi only iPads and the fingerprint scanner is useless for me on an iPad. Don't see what more they can do to speed it up any more doesn't seem like a necessary product . I'm sure people will throw money at it not this guy.
I'm guessing there will be no iPad Pro in 2014, just Air and Mini will get spec bumps, twice as fast, better cameras, etc. Then there will be iPad Pro in March 2015, same CPU, better GPU for OpenCL with more ram, same screen size, maybe with some hardware capabilities for professionals, a little thicker and heavier but 20 hours of battery life, etc. Then the iPad Pro will get spec bumps as well in November 2015 along with maybe redesigns of Air and Mini, borrowing clues from the Pro. This sounds Apple-like to me.
The Pro will be fall of 2014, unless it replaces the low end Macbook Air laptop. If that is the case then spring of 2014.
correction, it beat an intel bay trail processor, not a core series processors
many people on this forum are delusional if they think apple processors will beat core processors in performance, its not gonna happen for at least 7 years, and thats if intel decides to continue to sleep like they are now.
intel has only been working on reducing power consumption, not increasing performance on their processors.
apple's A7 is no slouch, its by far the most powerful consumer ARM processor right now, but its not touching intel core processors in anything except power consumption (its much smaller and has instruction sets). it may have 1billion transistors, but this includes the whole SOC, not just the processor
That's because ARM is Intel's primary competitor now so Intel doesn't really need to compete in terms of performance. AMD has pretty much thrown in the towel for the past few years. In terms of both CPU performance and power efficiency, Intel trumps AMD. With the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Pentiums and Celerons, Intel's even eroding AMD's budget sector.
