“Apple plans to release several new products this year, according to the company’s CEO, Tim Cook,” Sam Mattera writes for The Motley Fool. “Not just next-generation Macs, iPhones, and iPads, but completely new products in totally new categories.”
“Based on reports from Apple’s supply chain, and the company’s own product nomenclature, one of those products could be a larger iPad,” Mattera writes. “This rumored “iPad Pro” (which many sell-side analysts have said is forthcoming) allegedly would’ve sported a 12.9-inch screen.”
“But according to DigiTimes, the iPad Pro isn’t coming,” Mattera writes. “The Motley Fool’s own Evan Niu was at CES when Samsung unveiled the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 back in January, and he got a chance to test out the device.
