Previously we heard that the jumbo-sized 12.9-inch iPad would start production in Q1 2015, but plans have changed due to some unforeseen production problems. The timeline has shifted to September of this year, according to inside sources.
Citing delays in the supply of display panels, Bloomberg claims Apple will turn around sliding tablet sales with the still-unannounced new variant. Whatever the folks in Cupertino are up to, we hope that next time around the iPad Mini gets more upgrades to match its higher price.
The larger iPad is an attempt by Apple to make the tablets more appealing to business users. Apple announced a partnership last year with International Business Machines Corp. to create mobile software for businesses and for IBM to help sell iPads to corporate customers.
Do you think this new iPad will be successful? Let us know in the comments below.
