Following yesterday’s report on the next generation of iPad and iPad Pro models, Japanese site Mac Otakara has released a new report with some additional details about the upcoming iPad Pro models.

The report claims that updated 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models should arrive in March, and the overall design remains the same as the existing models with a few exceptions.
First, Mac Otakara says the 12.9-inch model will be about 0.5mm thicker than the current model, a change that could be to accommodate a long-rumored Mini LED display that would offer better screen performance compared to traditional LCDs. The 11-inch model will apparently remain the same thickness as the current model, in line with rumors that only the 12.9-inch model will initially get the Mini-LED display.
Second, the rear cameras would stick out less on the upcoming models. The overall camera bump remains, but the extra protrusion of the individual camera lenses is no longer needed, leaving a flat camera bump.
Finally, there are apparently some changes in the design of the speakers, with the total number of speaker holes on the sides reduced by two-thirds and the positions of the speaker holes changed from current models.
