test: Apple iPad-Pro ~ a 12.9″ iPad is VERY Ready for Prime Time Challenging the 13″ to 15″ PC, LapTop and the Education Market🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎

🍎 Apple iPad-Pro ~ a 12.9″ iPad is VERY Ready for Prime Time Challenging the 13″ to 15″ PC, LapTop and the Education Market.

🍎 Apple iPad-Pro is reported to be designed as a 12.9″ iPad “Retina” high resolution display, (recall the traditional iPad 5 with its 9.7″ retina-display, and iPad-mini retina display with its 7.9″ display) iOS system.

🍎 Apple iPad-Pro, the larger sized 12.9″ iPad is directly targeting 13″ 14″ and 15″ PC LapTops, Desk PCs, and Education.

🍎 Apple iPad-Pro, the larger 12.9″ display is perfect for Academic Text Books used in Schools and Universities. Apparently, the iPad Pro is a legitimate product rumor as now several others are touting this Apple New Product, the iPad Pro.

Admittedly, I’m part of the rumor problem; however, I must admit that yours truly, standing alone wrote about this topic several years ago. My writing then was not a product rumor, as the article was written about an Apple product that I wanted for my work-flow. Folks that know me are aware that I do 95% of everything I do on my iPad mini. However, if Apple delivers a super-charged 12.9″ iPad retina, I’ll be in great shape to do my image editing.

🍎 APPLE Please take Note: The one thing that I miss from the iOS7 world is the lack of a real-file system, where I can find, search, retrieve particular FILE or Image. Presently I have to recall which APP was used to create or edit a file, then I have to go to that APP to find the File or Image

🍎 Apple delivering larger 12.9″ display is a perfect size to compete with 13″, 14″, 15″ laptops and many desktop computers, yet maintain the minimalistic footprint, plus the likely coupling to a LOGITECH UltraThin bluetooth Keyboard.

🍎 Think about it, a large display iPad with an amazingly fast full featured iOS8, relatively inexpensive touch-screen design, coupled with a voluminous inventory of Application Software Apps, all optimized for Apple’s dynamic display that is Tough-Screen. Apple’s history has delivered Laptops in various sizes to meet the “Portability” requirements of their users, like 11″, 13″, 15″ and 17″ MacBooks. So it makes common sense that iPads could come in three flavors: 7.9″, 9.7″ and 12.9″ iPads.

🍎 More Industry sources close to the production line and familiar with Apple’s product roadmap say that a 12.9″ display is in the works for a product that may be called the iPad Pro. Apple is reportedly already talking to potential supply-line manufacturers to create this humungous display which is set to be released perhaps October, 2014.

🍎 Apple is reportedly is planning to launch a much larger iPad with a higher resolution screen next year, 2014. Sources familiar with the matter told Chinese website “Pad News” that Apple and its Chinese partner Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd are testing 5 different prototypes of 12.9″ iPads. These larger sized iPads may feature 2K and 4K resolutions.

🍎 New iPads may sport double the resolution of iPad Air. Reliable sources say Apple may launch the larger-screen iPad Pro by April 2014. An iPad Pro may launch with a 4K resolution 12.9″ display to hit the market in October, 2014 when the Cupertino-based company updates its product cycle. The current iPad Air with 9.7″ display has 2,048-by-1,536 pixel, or 264 dpi resolution. This display resolution already falls in the 2K category. By definition the Long-Side horizontal resolution of 2000 pixels is referred to 2K, for 2 thousand.

🍎 Chinese Sources said that an iPad may be built with a 4K resolution would likely have a resolution of 4096 x 3072, exactly double the horizontal resolution of iPad Air which is 2,048 pixels. In order to maintain the same “aspect-ratio” of the iPad Air, then the Vertical dimension would also have to be doubled to 3072 pixels. If this occurred, then the new iPad Pro would have 400% more pixels spread within the 12.9″ display. The new iPad Pro is also rumored to sport 397dpi pixel density, compared to the iPad Air’s 264dpi.

🍎 Apple will likely actively target 13” PC ultrabooks and notebooks, with the iPad Pro, or whatever Apple chooses to name it, by providing the device with better portability, better battery life, and comparable screen real estate for productivity applications.

🍎 Another target for the 12.9” iPad, is the educational market, enabling a beautifully display of digital-textbooks. This bigger display is better suited to replace traditional textbooks, just from a size stand point, and Apple with its supply-line partners, are also developing a new display technologies with less weight and less glare, more suited for use in classrooms.

🍎 Many are now speaking of a 12.9″ iPad, with or without an Apple ClamShell. Being full of suggestions, so whats next in the pipeline… Lets create a iPad-Maxi which would have the appearance similar to the MAC Book Air, but that is where the similarly ends.

🍎 This new iPad Pro, is a portable or desktop computing “game changer” as it employs the Apple iOS amazingly efficient operating system; that’s right… NOT an OSX laptop, but an iOS6 or iOS7 operating system platform, housed in a “super-charged” iPad-pro with a huge 12.9″ maxi-display.

🍎 Using an exterior similar to the MacBook Air’s foot-print, the iPad Pro would be “supercharged iPad” with:

🍎 Touch-Screen Retina-Display, designed to challenge the Post PC traditional 13″ to 15″ LapTop computers

🍎 Apple 12.9″; iPad optionally housed within the clam-shell lid, by the After Market.

🍎 Key Board, using Apple’s world famous bluetooth keyboard, build into the clam-shell’s bottom shell.

🍎 360˚ Hinge. A new clam-shell optional design to have a 360˚ hinge.

🍎 Perhaps Apple will leave the ClamShell feature to the AfterMarketeers like LOGITECH and CLAMCASE.

🍎 The iPas Pro would redefine the Laptop, just as the Apple iPad redefined the Tablet

🍎 In my humble opinion, Apple gets the message that Computing these days is more to do with Communications than Calculations, knowing the present day PC laptop sales are eroding with the iPad. Folks love the iPad’s Communications, Visuals, Web Browsing, Pictures & Video Viewing capabilities, combined with a very compact, light weight design.

🍎 As the transition from the PC to the iPad becomes more profound, and if the iPad Pro is a super-charged robust iPad, as many more Windows PC’ers would migrate to Apple; Conversly, If you want a more compact device the iPad Air footprint is perfect, as I presently have with Belkin’s Ultimate Keyboard Case, discussed in another Article. If you want more horsepower, then the iPad-Pro described below would satisfy this need; want even more power then the MAC Book Air is it… Want even more Power, then the MAC Book Pro answers this need…

🍎 Apple’s MAC laptops are designed with 4 Display sizes: 11″, 13″, 15″, 17″. It is surely reasonable to have the iPad in 3 Display sizes, to serve eveyone’s needs. Apple in April, 2010 Apple released the initial iPad with what Apple believed to be the “Optimal 9.7″ Display; Within 24 months the iPad grew to sales of about 50 million iPads/year.

🍎 November, 2012 Apple met the demand for a more-compact iPad Display, when it released the iPad mini; The iPad-mini’s is having incredible success; The iPad Air and the iPad-mini combined sales are about 65 million iPads/year.

🍎 Apple in 2014 may be considering the opportunity of a One-Size-Up to a 12.9″ Display from the original iPad’s 9.7″ Display. After all once the design of the iPad’s “Internal Electronic Package” is a complete package; however, an evolving package, configuring 3-iPad footprints is a “relatively” easy task: 3-Enclosures, 3-Displays, 3-LiON Batteries, all housing the “Internal Electronic Package.” Leave it to the “After Market” enterprises to fill in the balance of Covers, Cases, Keyboard Cases…

🍎 Not sure which size iPad or alternative to get for yourself, here is a simple decision-tree to help you along the way.

Lets have a “Super-Charged” iPad…. the iPad-Pro:

🔷 more Hardware Connectivity, Lightning plus a Standard SD Picture Card slot

🔷 more Memory say 4GB,

🔷 more Storage say 128GB base the storage, 128GB add $100, 256GB add $200. Memory is inexpensive, so give the folks a good chunk of it.

🔷 more Connectivity say LTEx, LTE, 4G and 3G Cellular, optional $130 radio package to the WiFi a/b/g/n/ac bands

🔷 faster Processor say 3GHz, coupled to

🔷 more Real Estate: 12.9″ Touch-Screen Retina Display.

🔷 Larger Footprint with an Optonal 360° Hinged ClamShell provided by the After Market, where the iPad-Pro snaps into the top-shell, similar to the ClamCase design for the iPad-Air.

🔷 Improved Mathematics & Calculating capacity and VIDEO processing engine to the traditional iPad.

🔷 Pricing for the Base model $599 which includes 64GB storage, 2GB RAM, A8 Processor at 3GHz, and priced up to $999 for the fully loaded 128GB, LTE/Cellular version.

🔷 I will be saving my dollars for the $999 iPad Pro for sure.

🔷 My plan, may be selling my iPad mini Retina, with 128GH to Gazelle, to help defray the cost of the iPad Pro. OR I may retain the “MINI” to have the very portable iPad mini retina, and the much larger iPad Pro for those more intense Image Editing, Video jobs, Spreadsheets, or simply a very portable table-top iPad Pro, adding a bluetooth keyboard.

As many of my friends, family and students know, I am an avid iPad adopter since its release mid-year 2010. With Apple’s release of the Retina-Display iPad Mini, I will be changing to it soon with 128GB of Storage and Logitech’s UltraThin Keyboard Cover; however, the WiFi only model. My thought is there are so many WiFi zones available these days, investing in the $130 LTE Cellular chipset upgrade is mitigated by my iPhone 5S with its “HOT SPOT” capability. Therefore, if I have migrated into non-WiFi area, or I desire a more Secure Internet Connection, its very easy to Activate my iPhone’s Hot Spot, which serves as a mini-router, accepting up to 5 WiFi enabled devices, for internet connectivity.
