Apple’s latest trademark hints at El Capitan coming to the iPad

Apple has vehemently said in the past that they plan to keep iOS and OS X separate. But a new trademark filing might see a crossover. According to the European Patent & Trademark Office’s official El Capitan filing, tablets have been added as a category that can be covered by the operating system’s trademark. Of course, Apple might just be covering all its bases but there is a possibility of this happening. There have been incessant rumours that a 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be making a debut, perhaps putting in Apple’s desktop OS on it might make it an even more viable device.

Leaked images of iPad case points at 12-inch variant

The rumour that an 12-inch iPad will be introduced has been going round for a while. Now, a new leak is pointing at the possibility of this device. French publication Nowhereelse published a set of pictures from a Chinese catalogue that show a protective case that could only fit a 12-inch tablet. There was a comparison image that shows that it really could be for a bigger iPad. The top and bottom of the designs are different from the iPad Air 2 cases, while the rest of the button and camera placements remain the same.

It has been rumoured that the new iPad Air Plus or iPad Pro (as it has been called) will have four speakers (two at the top and two at the bottom), which could explain for the different case design.

New rumours surface of a 12.2-inch iPad Pro

Apple hasn’t confirmed that a larger screened iPad is coming out but that doesn’t stop the rumour mill from saying there is one on the way. Calling it the iPad Pro, it will reportedly have a 12.2-inch display that will have a thickness between 6.9mm and 7.1mm. It is said to carry the same design language as the iPad Air 2 and might even have one pair of speakers and microphones at the top and bottom of the device. It is expected to make its appearance in 2015.
