iOS 9 Code Suggests 12.93-Inch 'iPad Pro' Could Have 2732×2048 Display

Taiwanese iOS developer Hiraku Wang has shared (https://twitter.com/hirakujira/status/610472096523665409) further iOS 9 beta code (via Steven Troughton-Smith (https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/610521778901909504)) that suggests the 12.9-inch "iPad Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/)" could have a 2,732×2,048 pixels display at 264 PPI based on Apple's @2x high-resolution modifier. The findings corroborate a DisplaySearch report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/15/iphone-6-ipad-pro-iwatch-displays/) from last January, in which the research firm said that Apple had a tablet display with a resolution of 2,732×2,048 pixels and 265 PPI under development.

 Apple's existing lineup of iPads with Retina displays, ranging from the third-generation iPad to iPad Air 2, each have 9.7-inch screens at 264 PPI, so it would make sense that the larger 12.9-inch "iPad Pro" would have a scaled up resolution with the same pixel density. Specifically, a 2,732×2,048 display with 264 PPI points towards an approximately 12.93" diagonal screen size. As a @2x display, this would represent 1,366x1,024 points as shown in the onscreen dimensions for the keyboard.

 <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>Earlier today, iOS developer Steven Troughton-Smith discovered that the new iPad keyboard on iOS 9 beta (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/15/ios-9-keyboard-scaling-ipad-pro/) is capable of scaling to a larger size with rearranged keys, providing further evidence that Apple could be planning to release the much-rumored 12.9-inch "iPad Pro" in the future. The A9-based tablet is rumored to feature a flexible display (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/11/12-9-inch-ipad-agnw-touch-panel/) with increased pressure sensitivity, built-in NFC chip, Force Touch, USB-C port (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/04/ipad-pro-nfc-bluetooth-force-touch-usb-c-rumor/) and possibly a pressure-sensitive Bluetooth stylus.
