Apple to unveil new iPad Pro while axing the iPad Mini
Apple can try and spin it any way it wants, but the harsh reality remains that iPad sales have been slumping for years. In fact, it's been quite a few years since Apple has seen year-over-year iPad sales growth over the course of a quarter, despite Tim Cook's assertions that the iPad remains the future of computing.
That debate aside, there do appear to be some shakeups comings to Apple's iPad lineup, a fact that shouldn't be all that surprising given Cook's remarks regarding the iPad earlier this year. "We've got some exciting things coming on iPad and I'm optimistic about where things are headed," Cook said about three months ago.
That being the case, there are reports that Apple at WWDC this year will introduce a brand new 10.5-inch iPad Pro with an edgeless display. Now what makes this particularly intriguing is that Apple will reportedly fit said 10.5-inch display into a form factor no bigger than the current 9.7-inch iPad model. While it's perhaps too soon to say with any certainty, Apple's upcoming edgeless iPad may be Apple's last real chance at injecting a bit of life into its tablet lineup.
