Boston, MA 11\/19\/2013 (wallstreetpr) – According to latest Korean Times report, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), may debut a new iPad with 12.9 inch display screen as \u2018early as next year.\u2019<\/p>\n
The report speculates that this could be true, from the fact that\u00a0Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has already pinned down its \u2013\u2018first tier display supplier\u2019 to manufacturer the new display panels.<\/p>\n
Larger sized panels for post-PC era<\/b><\/p>\n
Industry experts argue that the best option for Apple, in the Post-PC era is to capture the industry imagination and market numbers is to increase the display screen size.<\/p>\n
IDC reports in the past quarter, have reported that the sale of Personal Computers and desktops have dropped drastically across brands.<\/p>\n
While laptop, notebooks and other hybrids hold peripheral market segments, the bulk of the post PC-users will move to the tablet form factor.<\/p>\n
The original iPad debuted at 10.1 inches and most of the later versions of the iPad sported smaller-sized display panels. Experts believe this was apparently to compete with tablets by other brands, especially Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)\u2019s<\/b> Android OS platform tablets by Samsung and even Nexus.<\/p>\n
Larger display with enhanced pic quality <\/b><\/p>\n
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)\u00a0will of course continue to work on the picture-quality factor for the new display screen. The focus will be on Ultra High Definition (UHD) quality factor believe industry experts.<\/p>\n
However, back in the US, speculation is high on the actual size that\u00a0Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) would finally chose to use.<\/p>\n
News bytes by The Wall street Journal, back in July this year indicated that Apple was working on iPads which were lesser than 13-inches. Other technology domains too have offered unconfirmed news of 12.9 inch screen, which could debut as early as 2014.<\/p>\n
However, the latter possibility of 12.9 inch screen of 2732X2048-resolution closely matches Korean Times report.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, according to a news release on Nov 19, 2013, The Gilbert Unified School District board has endorsed property tax break for a manufacturing plant for Apple in the Phoenix area. The site belongs to erstwhile solar maker First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR)<\/b> and is now to be occupied by an Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) supplier. Gilbert Unified\u2019s approval for the tax break program was critical to the project as the board was deadlocked on the voting. This would also involve the extension of the foreign trade zone so as to include the plant in the zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
