iPad Pro Rumors: Bigger Is Not Necessarily Better, And We're Talking About You, 12.9" iPad

Even before it was launched, the rumored iPad Pro already has competition. But there are other reasons why iPad Pro rumors should stop, and so is Apple's alleged development of the device.  

The MacBook Air lineup may be at risk

Simply put, the iPad Pro is a MacBook Air killer. With a size that falls in between the 11.6" and 13.3" MacBook Airs, people would scour for the device that offers better portability. While the processing power of MacBooks is certainly more powerful than the current iPads, Apple may be developing a new chip that would make it comparable to the manufacturer's laptop line. 

The iPad Pro could become a heavyweight, and that's not a good thing

With a 12.9-inch frame and an aluminum build, we better expect the rumored Apple slate to weigh as much as 1.5 times the iPad Air. If Apple wants to keep its loyal consumers, then it should work on some miracle and keep the iPad Pro light - and that's almost impossible, unless it opts for a plastic build instead - which is certainly not an option. 

Using the device with one hand will become more difficult

Packed with a huge display and frame, the iPad Pro could be a problem to handle, especially for female owners. If a device can only be used with two hands effectively, then it totally dismisses the 'mobility' factor of the said device. That goes for the rumored iPad Pro as well. If a user would only place it on a tablet top or dock just so he can use it properly and conveniently, then he might as well have purchased a MacBook instead.
