Microsoft has decided to attack the entry-level smartphones category in India by introducing multiple models. While the high-end Lumia devices remain work-in-progress, yet another budget-level Windows Phone device is being tested in India.

As per Zauba's import data, Microsoft is testing a Lumia phone with RM-1127 product code. This phone has a 4.7" display and is a single-SIM device.

The presence of an Apple A9 chip in the 12.9″ iPad Pro should hardly catch anyone by surprise. The component will all but certainly be a beefed up version of the CPU that will debut in the iPhone 6 successor.

NFC might allow the iPad Pro to work as a terminal for receiving Apple Pay transactions, as well as for connecting the tablet to a previously rumored, pressure-sensitive Bluetooth stylus. It is highly unlikely that the tablet will be used often for making payments given its size.

USB-C will not be the only iPad Pro port. The slate is also expected to have a Lightning connector as well.

Last week, the alleged measures of the unannounced slate appeared via leaked schematics. Apple iPad Pro will likely debut at some point this fall.
