The
large 12.9-inch iPad first hit headlines way back in 2013. The iPad has
so far been a no show and the latest reportfrom Bloomberg, says that
the big-screen device won’t be launched any time soon.
Citing
sources familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports Apple will delay
the start of production on the larger 12.9-inch iPad until around
September due to problems involving the display panel supply. The report
further added that the production of the tablet had been scheduled to
start this quarter.
The
production of Apple’s larger 12.9-inch tablet will apparently be called
iPad Pro was to start last year. However, it was delayed due to
excessive demand for the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple has achieved
record-breaking numbers with its new iPhone 6 models, and even managed
to dethrone Samsung from the top spot. Now with new production issue,
the new iPad faces another roadblock and further delay.
A
KGI report by Ming-Chi Kuo in January revealed that the Cupertino
Company is working on a new stylus for its iPad products. It was highly
speculated that the new iPad Pro along with the stylus will be launched
sometime in the second quarter of this year. The stylus is expected to
charge using the Lightening cable and be made available with the large
iPad as an optional accessory. Usually Ming-Chi Kuo’s revelations are
based on the buzz in the supply chain, and mostly accurate. However, the
said report was based on the several patents filed by Apple for the
stylus in the recent years.
