The Korea Times reports that according to their source at Apple’s display supplier, the company is producing 12.9-inch display for the next generation iPad.
The report claims that the larger iPad will have a display that has improved picture quality, which will be on par with “ultra high-definition” displays.
The report claims that the larger iPad could be launched in early 2014.
The Korea Times reports:
“Apple’s local first-tier display supplier is now producing a 12.9-inch Retina Display to be used in the new iPad, which will be coming out sometime early next year,” an official at a local Apple supplier in Korea told The Korea Times by telephone Tuesday.
“That display is now being manufactured by the supplier’s plant in Korea,” he added. [..]
[..] “The 12.9-inch iPad will have improved picture quality. As the Apple partner intends to boost its lineup for displays that have almost ultra high-definition (UHD) quality, the upcoming iPad will provide very clear quality similar to that of UHD,” said the official.
There have been rumors that Apple has been working on a larger iPad, which could be launched as early as next year. Wall Street Journal added some credibility to those rumors and speculations, when it reported in July that they had also heard that Apple was working on a larger iPad with slightly less than 13-inch display.
Last month, supply chain research firm NPD DisplaySearch has also predicted that Apple will launch a 12.9-inch iPad with 2732×2048 resolution next year.
It is important to note that a company like Apple would probably be testing devices with all sorts of screen sizes, it doesn’t really mean that the designs will make their way to the market.
iPad mini is still my preferred device at home, so I am not sure I want a larger iPad. What do you think? Do you want an iPad with a 12.9-inch display?
