LONDON: iPad Pro, the large-sized Apple tablet is now rumoured to be under construction. In the previous week, IBTimes had published about the leaked image of iPad Pro.

However, BGR claims that it seems to be an image of a large-sized iPad that indicates it will probably house as a 12.2-inch display. Mac Rumors claims that even though the quality of the image is not good, there is an Apple logo sitting at the center.
