You know the countdown to an Apple event is officially on when the Cupertino company's minions begin to adorn the venue with branded insignia. It's only a matter of days now until Tim Cook and his executive team descend on the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium to deliver a keynote presentation that will ultimately shape the fortunes of the Cupertino-based company for the foreseeable future. In order to have the venue ready for the media and attending guests, Apple has started to decorate the venue with company branded flags and logos.
If everything we're hearing about Apple's September 9 event turns out to be true then it looks like we're going to need to put aside at least a day or two to digest everything that Apple is planning to announce. It may be billed as an iPhone-centric event, but there's clearly a lot more going on than just a new smartphone. Now, according to a new report, it's being suggested that Tim Cook and his executive team will also use the September 9 event to introduce a new iPad keyboard attachment accessory as well as a range of new metal finishes for the Apple Watch.
The existence of a large 'iPad Pro' has been discussed for quite some time now. It's widely accepted that Apple is planning on adding to its existing iPad lineup by building and unveiling a larger 'Pro' model, that would be predominantly aimed at business consumers and educational institutes. We accept that the larger tablet is real, more so after the latest discovery of an iPad identifier in data logs, but when is it coming? Well, according to a new prediction by prolific predictor Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, the Pro version of Apple's iPad will definitely enter into mass production before October ends.
Apple's iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and Apple TV 4 launch event gets a date. Apple's iPhone announcements usually come bundled with some other new or updated product, and this year's event is looking likely to be exactly the same.

Code discovered in iOS 9 beta 1 has just about confirmed not only the existence of Apple's upcoming 12.9-inch iPad, but also the exact resolution that the behemoth of a tablet will be boasting.
It's simply amazing what one can derive about potential future products of a specific company by interrogating the development builds of an operating system. Yes, you guessed it, we're talking about the first initial beta of iOS 9, and like previous versions before it, it has managed to throw up some interesting discoveries. After spending some time hacking around with the Apple Watch and watchOS 2, Steve Troughton-Smith has delved into iOS 9 and discovered some interesting things relating to UIKeyboard that seem to confirm the existence of the speculated iPad Pro.
Apple's rumored 12.9-inch tablet - dubbed the iPad Pro - could house a new flexible touch panel in an attempt to significantly improve sensitivity and accuracy, something which could help with the introduction of Force Touch technology on the new tablet.
Apple iPad Pro specs and features revealed in new report. Will come with NFC, Bluetooth stylus, USB-C port, NFC and a Force Touch display. Further details can be found here.
Photos of a case allegedly belonging to the iPad Pro has just been leaked online, and the design of the accessory seems to suggest that the rumors and speculations about the device sporting a new set of stereo speakers may actually hold some substance.
Ah, the iPad Pro. It's an enigma that has continued to elude us for many a year, and like Apple's supposed connected TV effort, has yet to materialize. When something is rumored ad infinitum but is scarcely leaked, as is the case with the higher-end iPad Pro, it does draw a fair bit of skepticism, but with the likes of Microsoft and Samsung having come through large-screened slates dripping with power, it seems reasonable that Apple will follow suit at some stage. Here, another dummy leak throws up the rather interesting theory that the device could include a secondary Lighting / USB-C port on the side of the body, which would, ironically, exceed the solitary connection point of the new 12-inch Retina MacBook.
