A report has indicated that Apple will begin manufacturing its new iPads in December. Considering the Cupertino-based tech company's launching approach, it is likely that the products will come out during the first quarter of next year.
This development is aligned with the August leak of KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who revealed that new iPad units in 2017, will feature the powerful A10X central processor.
It has also been known that a 10.5-inch related device will be included. According to Digitimes, the inclusion of such item is in line with its popularity with both the educational and business markets. The upgrade may be necessary judging from the fact that the present mid-range iPad is small. It is probable that the product fits in well together with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro which is a bit big and more expensive.
In line with this, technical adjustments can be on the way. It is possible that the 9.7-inch item will be downgraded as part of the iPad Air product lines.
Ming-Chi Kuo is not the only one with a scoop about Apple's next iPad release. Barclays research analysts Blayne Curtis, Christopher Hemmelgarn, Thomas O'Malley and Jerry Zhang have shared that a 10.9-inch model will be launched together with the 12.9-inch and the 9.7-inch frames. It has been added that the item is simply designed with no bezels in sight. Apparently, a supply chain is their source of information.
The analysts have also added that the 10.9-inch brand will assume a borderless design. This means that the surface will present an edge-to-edge display. It is also probable that the traditional home button will cast out.
In October, the Japanese online domain Mac Otakara announces the launching of a 10.1-inch iPad in the first months of 2017.
Although varying sizes of the iPad within the 10-inch range have emerged, it is likely that this kind of model will be included in the package for next year.
