Leak: Industrial rendering of the iPad Pro confirms the 12.9-inch screen

Everyone has been talking about the 12.9-inch tablet that Apple is rumored to be working, known unofficially as the iPad Pro. Now it looks like we have some more fuel for the speculation flame as Nowhereelse.fr, which has a good track record with this kind of thing, claims to have gotten its hands on an industrial rendering of the upcoming tablet. 

An alleged industrial rendering of Apple’s rumored “iPad Pro” was leaked on Friday, supporting rumors that the tablet will use a 12.9-inch screen instead of a less-frequently claimed 12.2-inch version. In terms of length, width, and thickness, the rendering — obtained by Nowhereelse.fr, and said to date back to December — indicates dimensions of 305.7 by 222.6 by 7.2 millimeters, or 12 by 8.7 by 0.28 inches. That’s enough space to fit a 12.9-inch screen, measured diagonally. The image also supports rumors that the new tablet will have four speaker ports split between top and bottom, allowing for stereo audio when holding the Pro in landscape mode. It is however missing a side-facing port seen in some leaks, which has sometimes been suspected as a second Lightning port or a USB-C connection. So far, the 12-inch MacBook is the only Apple device to support USB-C.
