Another Purported 'iPad Pro' Case Shown in New Photos
French website Nowhereelse.fr has shared new photos for another possible third-party case for the so-called "iPad Pro" tablet. The black protective cover has cutouts for a Lightning connector, rear-facing camera and microphone, volume rocker, mute switch and power button, consistent with previous iPad Air and iPad mini designs. The case does not have a cutout on the left side like the purported iPad Pro case that surfaced last month, nor does it have speaker cutouts due to having a different design that leaves the top and bottom edges exposed.
This second third-party case appears to originate from a Chinese accessory maker that also makes cases for the iPad Air 2, providing yet another side-by-side comparison of how much larger the iPad Pro could be alongside current iPad models. The veracity of the source is questionable, but this case is largely consistent with past leaks. The photos lack an object for size reference, but the case does appear to be large enough to house the iPad Pro, which has been rumored to feature a 12.2-inch to 12.9-inch screen.
A lack of physical hardware and component leaks for the oft-rumored iPad Pro has resulted in these third-party cases providing the clearest hints about the sizing, features, and design of the 12-inch tablet. The iPad Pro is rumored to feature a triple-core A8X or A9 processor, 2GB of RAM and Touch ID, and may ship with an optional stylus. Multiple reports claim that Apple will begin to mass produce the iPad Pro, also referred to as the "iPad Air Plus," in the first half of 2015. Another report claims that the tablet could launch between April and June.

The form factor looks to be the same as the current iPad, simply larger.
I would love to hear from Apple and even speculation here, what applications and uses this would be suited towards? Would everything we do now be better on this iPad, if we are at home and can have a large device? Or would some applications and uses still be better on Air 2? Or would Air 2 only be needed for a bit more portability?
At this point, it's hard for me to know what would be best for me.
i would expect another row of icons on the spring board as well as inside the folder layout (folder bit is most likely wishful thinking) . on top of it you will have a whole new experience using it in landscape mode being able to read more at once than ever before.
(I may or may not be kidding)

If the iPad Pro is real, what is the point of such a device? Especially if Apple also releases and 12 Inch Air. Just seems incredibly stupid.
"i can't see the point of consumer devices evolving into more capable devices."
that's what you and countless others say. and you're all incredibly unimaginative.

Just the sort of thing I've been waiting for - A4 size for pdfs/reading normal page size without zooming, will be awesome, as will the ability to make written notes on a reasonable sized screen with a stylus.
MBPr is great - but you cant use it discreetly in meetings/conferences (or rather I want to punch anyone that does with the keyboard - click, click click... all the time)

I would jump at a larger screened iPad. I use my iPad all the time for reading sheet music and it's almost perfect for it, just sometimes it can seem a little on the small side. A bigger screen would be ideal.

As a student, I've loved being able to replace A TON of paper with just one iPad Air 2.. BUT
I would love a larger screen that could fit two apps or two documents side by side on the screen and I would also love an official Apple stylus that works better than the sad options we have today..
I'm sure artistic people who use the iPad to create artwork would also love a bigger screen and a better stylus as well!
Give us something good Apple! :apple:

I sincerely hope that the "iPad Pro" is really Apple's take on the ModBook with touch optimized OS X. Because an even larger iPad doesn't seem to make any sense.
