Maybe we can see a paralell between iPod’s and iPad’s evolution.

1-The first iPod was what latelly became the Classic.

2-Following it came the mini and then the nano, smaller than the original. Same power.

3-Then came the shuffle: almost the ‘esence’ of a music player.

4-Then came the iTouch: a quite more wide open and powerful device, much more than a ‘music player.’

On the iPad side we have:

1-The original, now ‘middle sized.’

2-The mini/air: same but smaller.

3-¿The iPad shuffle?

4-The iPad Pro: power to the next level.

It seems to me they are very similar path of developments.

(The iPad shuffle should be a ‘just a media consumtion or iBook reader.’)
