Apple is working on an even bigger version of the iPad that it plans to launch next year, Bloomberg reports.
The new iPad will have a
12.9-inch screen. Today’s iPad Air has a 9.7-inch screen. The iPad Mini
has a 7.85-inch screen. The big-screen iPad will launch in the first
quarter of 2015, according to the report.
There have been rumors
throughout Apple’s supply chain for months that the company was working
on a larger version of the iPad. Some people have been calling it the
iPad Pro. However, this report from Bloomberg is the most solid evidence
we’ve had yet of such a device.
Meanwhile, Apple’s iPad business has been pretty sluggish. iPad sales growth has been declining. Last quarter, unit sales were down 9% on a year-over-year basis.
One way Apple is trying to
reinvigorate iPad sales is by selling the devices to large companies
through its new partnership with IBM. IBM will use its salesforce to
sell iPads to large enterprises. It’ll also make enterprise apps for the
tablets.
