Apple Rumors, News & Update: Apple Sets 2017 As Year For Three iPads, New MacBook Pro With NVIDIA Chip and “iPhone X”

2017 will be a very busy year for Apple. For one, the Cupertino-based tech firm was recently reported to launch three versions of the iPad Pro next year. The other concerns a "revolutionary" MacBook Pro equipped with an NVIDIA graphics chipset. And if these are not enough, sources are also pointing to a potential iPhone 8. Can Apple really pull this one off and say that 2017 will be their year?

Last month, Apple was spotted talking with chip maker NVIDIA in an effort to release a new wave of Macs in the future. According to BRG' September post, Bloomberg pointed to "three job listings" on NVIDIA's database. These included a description that the successful applicant will "help produce the next revolutionary Apple products". Further, that person will also be "working in partnership with Apple" as the coder that will "define and shape the future." Apparently, Apple is thinking of shifting from AMD to NVIDIA to core on their proposed Thunderbolt Display - another future bound initiative of Apple.

Meanwhile, University Herald centered on 2017 as Apple's big year to out three new sizes of their tab, the iPad Pro. They listed a 7.9inch, a 9.7inch and a 10.1inch slab, while Apple savant and KGI securities analyst Ming Chi Kou predicted a 12.9 inch and 10.5 iPad Pro in the process. Also, both the Herald and Kou mentioned that Apple's proposed 7.9incher will replace the iPad Mini. It will, the website added, host "four speakers and 12MP rear camera", whereas the 9.7inch Apple iPad Pro will boast a "special display feature" that will "automatically adapt the intensity and color of the environment." The same technology - called the "True Tone" display" - will be featured in the biggest Apple iPad Pro.

As for the rumored iPhone 8, there's little word about what it's going to pack, let alone its details. University Herald only said that a "staff" claimed that it will be called "iPhone X", and not the traditional number-laden device description. In addition, it is said that the next Apple Smartphone will be constructed using an "all-glass casing", plus "curved-edge and OLED display for longer battery life and better quality of output display." This fact also follows Apple's recent negotiations with Sharp as their supplier for their new display material.
