The bigger iPad has been [rumored](http://fortune.com/2015/06/22/apple-ipad-pro/ "undefined") for quite some time, but [9to5Mac’s](http://9to5mac.com/2015/09/02/ipad-pro-sep-9-ipad-mini-4-november/ "undefined") Mark Gurman—a prolific Apple news whisperer—reported Wednesday that Apple will almost certainly materialize on Sept. 9\. Trip Chowdhry, managing director of equity research at Global Equities Research, also [told Fortune](http://fortune.com/2015/09/02/apple-ipad-smartwatch/ "undefined") that the device will likely debut next week. Geared toward power users, the “iPad Pro,” as Gurman reports it is actually named, will sport a 12-inch display, run iOS 9.1, support a Force Touch-based stylus, and have speakers on two sides. The iOS 9.1 operating system will reportedly include special versions of the Siri and Notification Center interfaces. With all that said, there’s still a chance that Apple won’t reveal the bigger iPad next week. Pre-orders are slated for October, and shipments for November, so Apple could be planning a special event for it in October, according to Gurman. Other rumored announcements for next include new iPhones, a revamped Apple TV, new bands for the Apple Watch, and possibly a new iPad mini. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4020873/apple-ipad-pro-sept-9-iphone-watch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4020873/apple-ipad-pro-sept-9-iphone-watch/"},"headline":"Apple Will Likely Debut a Bigger iPad Next Week","datePublished":"2015-09-02T21:50:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:06:31.795Z","description":"It will be called the ‘iPad Pro,’ a report says","url":"https://time.com/4020873/apple-ipad-pro-sept-9-iphone-watch/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","iPad","iOS","Apple TV","Apple watch","Apple Event","pubdesk","iPad Pro"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dee5d8ff3835d0a/69886212ab6d77ad416a601f/457764662.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kia Kokalitcheva / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dee5d8ff3835d0a/69886212ab6d77ad416a601f/457764662.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Inside A SoftBank Store As Apple Inc.
