The much-awaited launch of Apple's iPad Pro 2 will happen soon, or so speculations have led many people to believe.

In a report by PC Advisor, it is speculated that Apple will be launching three new iPads in 2017 and one of them will be the iPad Pro 2. Since Apple launched the first 9.7-inch iPad Pro in March 2016, when not a lot of people were expecting a new tablet, the tech company may be launching the second model of the gadget sometime in March 2017.

There are reported predictions that a total of three models are intended to be released for the upcoming tablet lineup, varying from 7.9 inches to 12.9 inches. The medium-sized version of the tablet could be equipped with a 10.5 or a 10.9-inch display.

According to reports, the iPad Pro 2 will have no bezels and no home button on the front. The device will be equipped with the faster A10X processor and a flexible active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display. Apple is also rumored to be working on adding better iOS support for the Apple Pencil. The iPad Pro 2 could be built with a faster display technology that will allow better and smoother panning, scrolling and zooming.

As reported by University Herald, there are speculations which suggest that the iPad Pro will be specially designed to contend with laptops and PC. It will arrive with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB internal storage capacity. And thanks to its A10X Fusion chipset, it will deliver nothing less than ultra-speed performance. With its "firepower," the Apple tablet will be a serious competition to the rumored next generation 2-in-1 Surface tablet by Microsoft, the Surface Pro 2.

Apple has yet to confirm the validity of the existence of iPad Pro 2 and its targeted release date. However, if the rumors are true, Apple supporters and tech enthusiasts may expect the arrival of the device in March 2017.
