If the past reports are accurate, the company will launch two new iPad models on September 9: the iPad Pro, which has been in the rumour mills for several months, and also the the iPad mini 4, which is the successor to last year's iPad mini 3. Based on previous leaks, here's everything you need to know about the new tablets.

The iPad Pro, which might be called the iPad Plus, is tipped to feature a Force Touch pressure sensitive display, similar to what the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are expected to offer.

A 9to5Mac report claimed that the iPad Pro won't have a 16GB storage variant, and instead will ship in 64GB and 128GB storage options. As for the processor, the report further added that the iPad Pro will come with the latest generation A9X chipset. It will come in the following three colour options: Gold, Silver, and Space Grey. The report adds the 128GB LTE model will be very close in price to the new Apple MacBook, giving consumers a difficult choice in of flexibility.

The iPad Pro will the feature, and with Split View in landscape, will be able to run two full-fledged apps in portrait mode, side-by-side, according to the report, which adds the table will run iOS 9.1 at launch. The iPad mini 4, will boast this feature as well, however, will condense the apps to show them together.

The report further added that the iPad Pro will come with a Force Touch stylus, giving s another way to provide input to the device. The pressure sensitive stylus, however, won't come bundled with the device, and will be sold as a separate accessory, the report added. The iPad Pro will also a new Apple-designed Bluetooth keyboard.

If Apple does announce a stylus, you should also expect an explanation from the company as to why you need to use the device. In 2007, late Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, had famously criticised stylus devices. "Who wants a stylus? You have to get them and put them away, you lose them, yuck! Nobody wants a stylus."

The iPad mini 4, is expected to retain the same screen size - 7.9-inch - as its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. A report, however, suggests that the company plans to trim the thickness of the iPad mini 4 to make it slim like the iPad Air 2. The company could introduce Force Touch on both the new iPad models, providing s with an option to quickly open apps, or do a certain task.

As for the pricing and availability, 9to5Mac believes that the price of the iPad Pro is likely to go north of $1,000 (roughly Rs. 67,000), and it would start shipping in November with pre-orders beginning in October. The iPad mini 4 could be priced around $399 (roughly Rs. 26,500), in line with current prices of the iPad mini 3.
