Why is next years ipad pro 9.7 rumoured to be a “low cost” option?

[TheRealAlex]

Surely 9.7 is the sweet spot for many people? Why are rumours saying this will be the low cost option? Are they meaning just because it’s smaller or that it will miss certain features the rumoured 10.5 and 12.9 will have?


Seems odd to me as I would think 9.7 will be the most popular option out of all of the potential ipad lineups.

Because the 12.9 will be ditched and there will an expensive 10.5 inch version and a low cost 9.7 inch version

Boy, you're hell-bent on seeing the 12.9" go away, aren't you?

But it won't.
