Reports say Apple may introduce a new 10.9-inch tablet to go along with the 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch versions. Japanese site Mac Otakara also revealed that the bezel on the new iPad Pro may be reduced. The tablet will allegedly sport a bezel where the camera will be, however, the rest of the iPad Pro 2 may be bezel-less. So, that means Apple may remove the home button. Mac Otakara has also reported that the iPad Pro 2 will be thicker than the current versions.

Sources say the new iPad Pro may come out equipped with the new A10X processor. Furthermore, interested buyers will have three storage capacity options to choose from: 32GB, 128GB and 256GB.
