The much rumored 12.9-inch iPad Pro will enter production between September and October of this year, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. An optional stylus will take advantage of the tablet’s Force Touch screen and can charge via the Lightning port, says Kuo.Notably, the analyst suggests the stylus may be needed to make Force Touch work properly on the larger display.With regard to the present technologies, we believe if the Force Touch module for iPad is designed using the same structure that was used in the iPhone, the larger size may result in a poor yield rate. This is why we think a stylus may be necessary to make Force Touch work properly on the 12.9” iPad. We also believe a Force Touch-enabled stylus will enhance productivity as it would offer more precise operation than using only fingers. Technically, we believe the stylus can be made compatible with iPad models other than the 12.9” version, but it depends on the support of software.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here

Apple is preparing some big changes to its Apple Store retail experience, including the demotion of iPods to accessory shelves and the removal of its iPad-based Smart Signs, reports 9to5Mac. The changes are set to roll out beginning Tuesday night of next week.Apple Store accessory walls will now be home to the recently-updated iPod line. Apple products, ranging from iPods to iPads to Macs, have typically been stored in the back of Apple Stores and brought to a customer upon the point of sale. Now, when a customer wants to buy an iPod, she or he can simply pull it off a shelf without needing to wait for the product to be brought from the back room.Apple just updated its iPod touch lineup last month but that was after nearly three years of the device going without an update. With more users choosing the iPhone and iPad, Apple has even removed the device from its once prominent presence on Apple.com.
