Ming-Chi Kuo Says Apple Likely to Unveil 10.5" iPad Pro and Touchscreen Siri Smart Speaker at WWDC

I'm not sure I understand the point of this new iPad. Is it going to have new features? Is it going to take advantage of the slightly larger screen space? Even the much larger Pro doesn't do this. The 9.7" pro is already a good sized screen. If anything they should eliminate the bezels of the current size iPad and create one that has a smaller form factor.

Just to warn you guys, this is going to be more expensive than the 9.7 pro-- it's not going to replace the 9.7 it'll simply be an addition to the pro line. I think it'll cost around 750 for the base model.

Maybe they will also announce new Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard to go along with it. I wonder why this particular screen size tho when they still have the 9.7" iPad Pro and the 12.9"

As a general rule I would agree BUT they have done hardware in the past and a few reports are now saying Siri Speaker and iPad Pro 10.5" at WWDC the most convincing of them is the very reliable Ming-Chi-Kuo!

If this thing has the same resolution as the 12.9 inch I will squeal with excitement and purchase on the day.

There won' t be a new ipad mini. It is EOL

Except that it's not -- just in your mind. Just to remind you once upon a time people kept saying Apple was never going to update the Mac mini and yet they did. Apple doesn't update a lot of products in predictable patterns. If something has low priority it can be years -- I give you the Mac Pro. But a product is not EOL until it is and then it's off the shelves.

I'm drunk again on a Sat morning but sober enough to realize that "iPad Pro" is an oxymoron

Not really, esp. the 12.9". If anyting it's best suited for pros in the graphics, photo editing, and related fields. It's a poor choice as a consumer device.

Don't you just love reading these comments about "Timmy's boyfriend" or how people constantly belittle Apple products they've never owned?

I am sorry, but in the next 2 years , it is....
Apple will rather sell you an iphone plus phone. It will remain there for the kid market. And the ipad mini 4 is sufficient for that. Perhaps the current ipad mini , will be updated with an a9 soc, but no high end ipad mini anymore.
 
Kuo is reliable on what's coming but not the timing. For example, he thought the iPhone 6+ would be released after the 6.
 
I still think it would be super cool if their Siri speaker also takes the place of the Airport / base station / whatever. Might be trying to fit too much into one device, but it would be nice.

speaker will be good for loud music when cooking in the kitchen or podcasts e.t.c instead of needing to take in my ipad or phone or need the air pods to listen instead
