And that's not all, as his indications further suggest for the official revelation of new 10.5 iPad Pro in the WWDC event which is about to begin on June 5th, 2017.

According to Macrumors, Kuo expected Apple to launch a siri based speaker on the first phase of the event only. The speaker has also been hinted to Phil Schiller boast "touch panel," about which Apple primer Phil Schiller hinted some days back. Although, it is still a mystery whether Apple will also boast a visible display alongside the "touch panel" in the newest audible device, like Amazon's latest Echo Show, or not.

But Kuo predicted that Apple's upcoming siri based speaker would cost more than Amazon Echo Show, which is currently selling at $229 only.

He also hinted that the new iPad Pro would feature the same form factor of Apple's 9.7 inch iPad. This is only possible by lessening the bezel and thus the next iPad Pro would have more screen surface than all earlier variants.

As for specifications, the upcoming Apple iPad Pro would be powered by an A10X processor alongside a home button resembling that of iPhone 7. The pricing of the same is still a mystery.
