Sources are speculating that Apple will release the iPad Pro sometime in 2015's second quarter, which is still a long wait before the large tablet arrives on the market. At the same time rumors regarding the futuristic specs of the device, which many claim will be superior to those of iPad Air 2, will possibly make the wait worthwhile.

According to Christian Today, the iPad Pro will sport a superior audio system with the stereo speakers and microphone positioned on top of the tablet. In fact, most iPad users have been complaining about the audio system of their device and, hence, Apple is likely to deal with this issue in the upcoming device.

Apart from a better audio system, the iPad Pro is expected to have an improved screen display since the latest trend is for larger screens. In reality, the market trend has prompted Apple to release the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which come with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens respectively.

Now, it is expected that the Cupertino-based tech firm will do the same in the case of the upcoming iPad. If latest reports are to be believed, the iPad Pro will come with a 12-inch screen panel and have a slender profile.

However, several other features of the iPad Pro are likely to be same as those of iPad Air 2. There are rumors that the iPad Pro will incorporate an A8X processor Adreno 420, 2 GB of RAM, run on iOS 8, have 16 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB internal storage, 8 MP rear camera and 1.2 MP front-facing camera and the usual Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

It is expected that the iPad Pro will actually be a tablet-PC hybrid aimed for the business sector. As a result, the features of this upcoming tablet will focus on entertainment as well as business areas.

Many tech enthusiasts and experts are of the view that with the release of the iPad Pro is likely to signify the end of the iPad mini. Some feel that the iPhone 6 Plus has already replaced the iPad mini line.
