The "iPad Pro" interestingly resembles Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 which is apparently winning the hearts of many in the tech community. Rumor has it that the "iPad Pro" is aimed at stamping out the Surface Pro 3's current popularity through its leaked features. 

Earlier this year, sources have leaked the inclusion of a stylus pen in the upcoming iPad which will be connected by Bluetooth.  The combination of 12.9" touch display and a Bluetooth stylus plus its rumored name "iPad Pro" could be signs that the tech giant is targeting highly visual business level consumers such as graphic designers, engineers and the like.  An added feature that will reportedly be in the device is the Force Touch which is also featured in the recently released Apple Watch.  

One may find the Force Touch feature kind of ridiculous. Will the users of the new Apple products be as frustrated as "force touching" the product so it was included in the development to turn the impending negative experience into something as positive as a "feature"? This thought is reminiscent to the "Bendgate" where sources say that Apple attempted to sell this glitch as one of the phone's features.

Sources also say that the device will include an NFC radio feature which could enable it to serve as a payment terminal for Apple pay. Apart from anything else, there are speculations that the iPad Pro will be powered with a new A series processor.

Currently, the iPad Air 2 has an A8X processor which clocks at 1.5GHz. The newer A processor must be coming up with at least 2GHz to at least become at par with Surface Pro 3 which runs through a Core i7 processor.  It's also dubbed as a "desktop replacement" due to a full Windows 8.1 operating system packed in the slim and portable device. Despite its 1.76 lbs weight, Surface Pro 3 is equipped with variations of Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7.  

Apple may have a lot of work to do considering its current iPad Pro competition and its non-stop info leak with ever changing release date. However, everyone in the industry cannot discount the fact that the company has truly revolutionized the tech world which is evident by all other brands trying to look like iPhone and iPad. It may take them a while but more are still hopeful with the difference iPad Pro could bring.
