'Monster' iPad with a 12.9 inch screen set to launch on Wednesday alongside new iPhones, Apple TV and even a new cheaper gold watch

• Images suggests it will look similar to the rounded iPad Air 2 in design

• Expected to include pressure sensitive screen and new Bluetooth stylus

• Will include same force touch screen as upcoming iPhone 6

• Gold anodized Apple Watch Sport also expected to be unveiled

Apple is set to launch a giant iPad called the iPad Plus alongside new iPhones and an upgraded Apple TV, it has been claimed. The firm is also hoping the larger screen will help it differentiate the iPad from the big screen iPhone 6 Plus.It is also believed to include a all-new Bluetooth stylus accessory with pressure sensitivity, and a new pressure sensitive screen.

'Alongside the new iPhones, new Apple TV, new Apple Watch bands, and a gold anodized version of the Apple Watch Sport, Apple plans to debut a pair of new iPads on Wednesday: the larger iPad Pro and a new iPad mini,' claims 9to5mac. 

While Apple still plans to announce the device this week, open up pre-orders in October, and begin shipping in November, we understand that the first shipments may fall towards the end of November, the site says.

It claims the gadget could cost up to $1,000, putting it on a similar footing to the firm's MacBook laptop. 

According to John Paczkowski of Buzzfeed, the new Apple TV will boast universal search, allowing users to enter the name of a program and find out where they can watch it, from a number of providers like Netflix and iTunes.

PHONE 6S: WHAT TO EXPECT 

Apple typically launches its new handsets each year at an event in September and this year the firm is expected to release its iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. 

These models will be more powerful version of last year's 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets. 

Although Apple has not confirmed any details, analysts claim the handset will include:

Updated processor

New 'Force Touch' pressure sensitive screen

Upgraded camera 

Models will be available in new rose gold colour option, similar to that offered on the Apple Watch.

According to John Paczkowski of Buzzfeed, the new Apple TV will boast universal search, allowing users to enter the name of a program and find out where they can watch it, from a number of providers like Netflix and iTunes.

Currently finding TV shows online can be difficult, with provider's like Amazon, Hulu and Netflix all competiting, and constantly changing their catalogues. 

Apple's universal search could solve this - and also make sure user's get the best price for content by showing all of the available alternatives.

FORCE TOUCH 

The Force Touch technology is found in the Apple Watch and the new Macbook. 

'The new trackpad features built-in force sensors that allow you to click anywhere and haptic feedback that provides a responsive and uniform feel,' Apple says.

'You can even customize the feel of the trackpad by changing the amount of pressure needed to register each click.

'The Force Touch trackpad also enables a new gesture called Force Click, a click followed by a deeper press, for tasks like pulling up the definition of a word, quickly seeing a map or glancing at a preview of a file.'

The new technology could spawn new applications for the phones, such as a piano-playing app that would make different sounds when touched lightly or more heavily.

'But the other will be deep support for gaming, representing Apple’s largest-ever effort to lure players from traditional consoles.' 

Previous reports have hinted at the specification of the new iPad.

One person familiar with Apple's future product plans has revealed that the company is in fact working on an all-new iPad with a larger 12.9-inch display, according toAppleInsider. 

This person said that Apple is expected to include an NFC radio within the new 12.9-inch iPad.

While tap-to-pay functionality in an iPad is unlikely, the inclusion of NFC could allow for an 'iPad Pro' to serve as a payment receiving terminal for Apple Pay.

The inclusion of NFC could also allow for simplified pairing with accessories, such as the new stylus said to be in the works.

The source also indicated that the jumbo-sized iPad will sport a new touchscreen with improved touch latency.  

Apple's next-generation iPhone, referred to colloquially as the 'iPhone 6s,' will also feature the Force Touch input that is currently available on the Apple Watch and latest MacBooks, it is believed
