The iPad Air looks to be the start of Apple changing their tablet line to be more in-tune with their laptop line, the MacBook. The iPad Air has replaced the iPad 4 and ended the number changes.
Apple’s main features on the iPad Air are the same as the MacBook Air, a thin light excellent experience. Now all we need is the powerful end of the tablet, the iPad Pro, which may run Mavericks OS or a hybrid version similar to Windows 8.
The iPad Pro should also come with some first party keyboards, we seen a leak earlier this week pointing at the new iPad 5 having keyboard support from Apple, but nothing came out at the event, pointing at the iPad Pro hiding in the shadows.
Another feature Apple is bound to put into the iPad Pro is more performance, we may see a faster processor or larger battery to keep the iPad running for a few days without a charge, we may even see the first 256GB iPad from Apple.
This is still just a fantasy, but there has been chatter on the subject from analysts and possible inside sources, saying Apple will be developing the next step up from the iPad Air next year, alongside the new iWatch and 4.8-inch iPhone.
The problem we find is Apple’s way to make the iPad Pro feel like a powerful machine, in the same way as the MacBook Pro. Running Mavericks OS may be the way to do it, but that idea does conflict with Apple’s ideas on separating the two operating systems.
