Apple iPad Pro alleged manufacturing mold image spotted

Alleged photograph of a manufacturing mold of the rear shell of Apple’s rumored iPad Pro has made its way to the China’s Weibo social networking forums. First reported by MacRumors, the image hints that Apple’s ostensibly larger iPad model is prepping to enter mass production soon.

The image appears to be coming from one of Apple’s contracted overseas factories. Titled “iPad Pro”, while there is no evidence that it is indeed authentic, the image does have Apple-like logo imprints sculpt on the body. Also from the image, the body of the tablet does seem larger than the iPad Air.

From what we have heard so far, the iPad Pro could come in either 12.2-inch screen size or with a screen measuring 12.9-inches. Earlier this week, an alleged sketch of the iPad Pro was leaked by a French website. The sketch had revealed that the tablet will carry an ultra-thin form factor with a width between 6.9mm to 7.5mm, which is in line with earlier reports. It was also pegged to carry at least four stereo speakers — two at the top and two at the bottom.

While most of the details of the device are scarce at the moment, a report from last year claimed that the iPad Pro will come with a “hybrid” version of iOS which will have support for several OS X’s features including multitasking and more.
