Having sussed out that resolution, developer Steven Troughton–Smith believes that the iPad Pro’s screen will come in at 12.93–inches.

This tallies with long time rumours about the device’s size, scotching other suggestions that it would come with a 12.2–inch display.

Either way, this thing will be as large as a MacBook and almost as powerful.

Apple caused controversy with its new MacBook when it binned off all connections and opted to use only USB–C in its new high–end laptop.

It’s thought it could be doing the same with the iPad Pro, with supply chain sources claiming last month that it had plans to bring in the new universal standard.

Whether it will exist alongside the Lightning connector found in the current range is unclear.

However, it would make the iPad Pro easy to hook up to monitors, keyboards and other accessories, making it a powerful business tool.
