Smaller iPad Pro on the way

Apple will definitely be talking about a number of new products in March 2016, likely including a couple of new smartphones, and the company could also be revealing a smaller version of the iPad Pro.

9to5mac reports that a 9.7 inch iPad Pro will be announced, that's a good deal smaller than the current 12.9 inch model. It's likely to feature similar specs and also support a (new) smart keyboard as well as the Apple Pencil, but for a smaller price.

The iPad Pro is a powerful tablet line that aims at replacing your laptop when used with the optional smart keyboard. The tech inside is fast enough to run plenty of demanding apps and the reviews for the original model were hugely positive. A small version would be significantly easier to use and even more portable while a lower price could help people to get on board this 2in1 revolution. Other features like the four front facing speakers are also likely to be retained.
