Some Apple-based rumors just don’t die, and they’re fueled by the absolute belief that, some day, they’ll be right. The 12.9-inch iPad is proof of this. A new report published today says that Apple is still indeed planning on bringing the giant device to the market.
If you’ll recall, the “iPad Pro” was supposedly scheduled to launch in the beginning of 2014, as was reported in late 2013, but that obviously never happened. And now, here we are nearing the end of 2014 and a new report has surfaced claiming the 12.9-inch iPad is coming in early 2015. This report is based on information obtained from individuals familiar with Apple’s plans, but requested to remain anonymous.
“The new iPad will have a screen measuring 12.9 inches diagonally, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details aren’t public. Apple currently produces iPads with 9.7-inch and 7.9-inch displays. The Cupertino, California-based company has been working with suppliers for at least a year to develop a new range of larger touch-screen devices, said the people.“
We’ve already seen a concept of what a 12.9-inch iPad would look like earlier this year, and while a larger iPad might make sense for some, it will be interesting to see if a 12.9-inch iPad can really shake up the tablet market in a major way.
