'iPad Pro' Production Reaffirmed for September-October Ahead of Rumored Late 2015 Launch

This is exactly the kind of innovation that Apple needs! Oh, wait...

Is apple basically doing what it did last time without Steve Jobs? Where they just kept adding models of computers?

will definitely be purchasing one if and only if it comes with a pen with at least as good precision as those of Wacom.

Yes. Yes they are. Focusing on a few products, and making them REALLY good, is what helped Apple come back from a very bleak place. And they are getting further and further away from that philosophy, it seems. Hopefully, history won't repeat itself.

I do love that all of the displays of this still show 4 icons at the bottom.

For me, a tablet must:
1. Have a stylus. I haven't used my fingers to draw stuff since I lived in a cave, back around 200,000 years ago. The pen/stylus is one of those inventions that has stood the test of time. Even those "sign with your finger as a pen" POS terminals are obtuse.
2. Have a better OS, like OS X. I don't want to be playing around with a 12" iPhone.
3. Allow a mouse/trackpad. When drawing with a CAD program, that whole "hand" thing gets in the way while I am drawing.
4. Allow windows. To me, a single/dual app model is like working in a book, where only one/two pages can be displayed. Having multiple windows is the way to do it, so I can collect ideas from all over, and arrange them my way. Not that my way is the best for you, but it is the best for me.

Um, buy a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10. Freaking amazing and will do anything/everything you'd ever want to try and accomplish. This iPad "Pro" crap is just dumb. It's not going to be innovative at all...just another money-grab from Apple.

They're still a long way from "product name" followed by 3 or 4 digit cryptic number, times 10. This is just continuing what they've been doing when Steve was around, making different sized rectangular touch screen devices :)

Also I find your signature to be a bit ironic considering your comment ;)

In all seriousness, I imagine quite a few people will want this. As long as they don't start making features exclusive to the Pro then I'm happy.

iPad Pro must be the most annoying rumor on this site.

Monday. iPad Pro is coming.
Tuesday. iPad Pro not likely.
Wednesday. iPad Pro to be launched with new iPhone
Thursday. No iPad Pro release.
Friday. iPad Pro rumor was based on leaked spec's of a Galaxy Tablet
Saturday. iPad Pro? Maybe
Sunday. Wait for the big news monday. Now repeat...

I would love iPad Pro. But will it come? I don't think so.

On my Christmas list!
