Citing a Barclays analyst, a Japanese website Macotakara claims that Apple may unveil four iPad Pro models next month.

Apart from its 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, Apple will also reveal an iPad with 10.5 inches and 7.9 inches of iPad Pro.

The company is also expected to boost the iPhone SE lineup with a 128GB model, which witnessed a exceeded supply in the quarter that ended on March 26 and the following one that ended on June 25.

"According to the information source, at the iPad Pro announcement event held in March 2017, it seems that 128GB model would be possibly added to the models with the storage capacity variations, which are 16 GB, 64 GB, of iPhone SE," the blog said.

Adding another option to the iPhone SE lineup also suggests the device continues to be popular, especially in the emerging markets like India. Apparently, Apple is also rumoured to start assembling its lower-priced iPhone SE models at a contract manufacturer's plant in Bengaluru.

The analyst also adds that the new iPad Pro models will support Apple Pencil 2 which is also rumoured to debut at the same event.

Last year, Macotakara had claimed that Apple could debut a new red colour for the iPhone 8, this year. However, as per the latest report, Apple is introducing the new colour for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
