Let's entertain for a moment that Apple does release some sort of larger iPad ~13". I know I've seen plenty of requests for that here at MR over the past 3 years.
Anybody care to do that math of what the PPI would be if the resolution stayed the same vs if Apple approached the standard "doubling" technicque (which of course really is 4x the pixels)?

I am sure this would have to come with and attachable key board or something like that if this is to target Ultrabooks....
You got an iPhone with a larger screen.
This is surely a sketchy rumor ... it is more sketchy than rumor and shockingly being posted on this site.
Probably not, but it would seem to be a slow news day, so they'll take what they can get. I have to say though, this is about as ridiculous as it gets... It even says in the story how unreliable the site is. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for rumors is one thing, but this might as well have been made up entirely by Arn. Oh well.
and we were told " this is the optimum size tablet, we will not make a smaller one" by whom...... never say never.
Only if Apple provided cursor control and bluetooth mouse connections without a jailbreak.
Very idiotic thread IMHO, how could a person hold a 12.9" tablet comfortably in their hands and use it without falling it onto the ground?
I wondered, why doesn't that analyst call it iPad Hummer?

Going to 4x the "base" iPad resolution [of 1024x768] would yield:
4096 x 3072
...and let's say it's 12.9", that a PPI of ~397 (plus it could be used for a 4K video editing interface
)Yeah, *if* they made something like this, and it became a "Pro" series intended to compete with ultra books, there's some OS things they'd need to do (not include a bunch of ports, or specifically even expose the filesystem, but some things that allow workflows more inline with desktop PCs)
This has to be the worst news post I have ever read here. I have to agree with MonkeySee.... that this wasn't even worth posting. They are losing site visitors big time every month according to their stats, and this is the kind of story that reeks of being posted just to get the traffic.
Look we can all agree that iPad Maxi is just down right bad , kind of funny though.
I like iPad Pro , and that would be a good size too.
I would buy one no matter what they named it , because they are very handy to have one , but they do need a larger size.
Us older folks can appreciate the ease of a larger size , and hopefully with stereo speakers and a way to connect an external drive.
TB would go very nicely with an iPad Pro
O__well , it will probably never happen , but if it did , I would buy one !
