After more than a year of waiting, it appears that the Apple iPad Pro release date will finally make its way to the market in 2015.
According to a report from Techno Buffalo, there are new rumors claiming that the Cupertino-based manufacturer will not only release the iPad Pro this year, but also include a stylus.
While Steve Jobs was not very fond of the stylus, it appears that the company wants to provide better user experience to its customers, which can only be achieved by including a stylus to work with in a 12.9-inch screen.
According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, there is a possibility that Apple will ship styluses with its huge iPad tablet when it becomes available later this year.
"Given that it's more precise than a person's fingers, a stylus can be more convenient to use than the combination of keyboard and mouse in some cases," said Kuo, who has been well-known for providing accurate predictions of Apple devices in the past. The analyst bases his predictions on market trends, supply changes, and other nifty details.
Back when former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was running the show, he did not think people needed a stylus to use Apple products, specifically iPads, effectively. However, as times change, there is also an increasing need for better precision in terms of input accessories for these devices.
In the statement by Kuo, he even claimed that there could be a more advanced type of stylus which should be developed later on. Referred as a device that supports '3D handwring' experience, this particular stylus may be used not only on the tablet's surface, but in other surfaces as well.
The iPad Pro was first rumored to launch early in 2014, though supply problems were seen as one of the reasons why the 12.9-inch slate has been delayed in production.
