Rumors of a larger iPad have been circulating since late 2013 and today, we might have a clearer picture of the device.
According to @OnLeaks, a blueprint dated in December 2014 suggested that the iPad Pro will sport a 12.9-inch display with dimensions of 305.7 x 222.6mm. If Apple continues to use an aspect ratio of 4:3, calculations reveal the iPad Pro to have an estimated screen-to-body ratio of about 75.7%. In comparison, the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 are around the 71.7% mark. This means that the iPad Pro is likely to have slimmer bezels.
The blueprint also states an ultra-thin chassis of 7.2mm for the iPad Pro. Considering that 12-inch tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro and Tab Pro 12.2 measure 7.95mm thin, Apple would have one-upped the competition. Eagle-eyed observers would also notice the four speaker grilles (two on each side of the device) and a single port (USB Type-C or Lightning).
Apple is under pressure to revitalize the iPad sales after reporting declines in two straight quarters. David Hsieh, who is the Vice President of the Greater China Market at DisplaySearch, claimed that the larger iPad Pro could be a solution. The latest report also corroborates with earlier leaks of alleged cases designed for a 7mm thin iPad Pro and schematics showing four integrated speakers.
