Here's what we'd like to see in the iPad Pro 2 (AAPL)
The iPad Pro is a good first generation device. The hardware is good, the software can cope, and the accessories are above average (even if they take five weeks to arrive).
Overall, the reviews were positive, with praise coming from everyone who tried the device, even if it can't replace your laptop just yet.
Development of the iPad Pro 2 has likely already started (based on Apple's traditional development cycle) and will be unveiled sometime in the third quarter of 2016, bringing a better all-round device that can do more for longer.
Here's what we'd like to see in the iPad Pro 2:
3D Touch
3D Touch is the pressure sensitivity feature that launched on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Without changing the look or feel of the iPhone, 3D Touch can measure how hard a user is pressing, activating features based on this. Apps, for example, can "peek" and "pop," showing some information before opening fully.
The iPad Pro launched without 3D Touch making it one of the features that should make it into the second version. Combined with the Apple Pencil and all of the creativity apps for the iPad, 3D Touch could bring new uses for the big tablet.
Improved developer support
Developers are increasingly displeased with Apple's approach to the App Store which could result in a lack of high-quality apps if left unsolved. Big developers, such as Microsoft and Adobe, are building apps but small-name developers are feeling under-served.
Any developer that isn't pleased with Apple's offerings could always jump ship to Windows 10 and make apps for the Surface Pro, which supports both tablet and desktop apps.
Apple needs to reach out to developers and work on refreshing the App Store.
Better battery life
Apple claims that the iPad Pro gets ten hours of internet usage which is on par with the MacBook and MacBook Air.
However, the iPad Pro is an on-the-go device designed to be used on the move, whether that's on a train, in a park or on a beach. A report suggested that Apple had made the battery in the iPad Pro smaller to accommodate larger speakers, a trade-off that some may not appreciate when the tablet runs out of battery.
