In all the maremagnum of information about the next iPad Pro, there is a detail that had gone unnoticed and that designer Dan Provost just revealed in an article published on your personal blog. The 10.5-inch size matches the sum of two iPad mini screens, just like the 9.7 and 12.9 models. Thus, we can conclude that finally that will be the size make it look like the next Apple tablet.
Of course, the apple leaves absolutely nothing to chance and mathematics is a priority in all design, an issue that sometimes becomes so reprehensible. For example, the Touch ID in the front area has made the size of the frameworks of the iPhone is crazy if we compare it with the high end Android, while the screen ratio was much lower than that shown by Samsung, LG, Huawei, etc. The reason: the symmetry. The lower bezel cannot be greater in length than the upper one, ergo the upper one must remain large enough to accommodate a round button.
It all squares with Apple's history
Provost reminds us that when the first iPad Pro 12.9, Phil Schiller commented that he had opted for that size because the horizontal coincided with the vertical of the 9,7-inch model. In this way, users were offered a workspace similar to if we put two iPad Air 2 together. The rule is perfectly clear, and if we now do the same with the mini model, coincides with the above by specialist Ming-Chi Kuo.
The result would be a 10.5-inch front panel (10.47 to be exact), with a resolution of 2732 × 2048 pixels, identical to the iPad Pro 12.9. In the image of the header you can see how that surface is superimposing a sheet of paper on the total dimensions of the current 9.7-inch tablet. Thus the measures and the claim on the part of the apple of shrink the frames.
A much-discussed iPad Pro for 2017
Once this mystery seems somewhat harnessed, almost everything else continues to hold true. halo of mystery and it's giving for a lot of gossip. Just think how strange it is that they haven't leaked yet product pictures, when we are only 2 or 3 months after its launch and taking into account that the apple has never been able to contain that type of information leaks (or even that it has been able to feed them before).
The theme of design and the ability of the device to change the way your touch ID it is one of the most ambiguous terrains to date. The inclusion of something new in this sense would be a real bomb.
