APPLE SUPPLIERS HAVE pushed back their plans to produce a larger screen iPad until early next year as it tries to meet demand for the new iPhones.
Originally, the plan was to start producing the larger iPads in mass volume at the beginning of December.
However, the strong demand for the larger screened iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which are now 4.8 and 5.5-inches respectively, has changed these plans according to the Wall Street Journal.
Apple has already sent out invites for a press event happening next week on the 16 October, where it’s expected to announce its new iPad and Mac range.
It’s believed that Apple is working on a 12.9-inch iPad, larger than the 9.7-inch iPad Air, but it’s not clear whether this will be announced at the event itself. The plans come as iPad sales begin to slow down to consumers wanting larger smartphones instead.
On the opening weekend, Apple said it had sold 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices, before it launched in another 19 countries (including Ireland) last month.
It’s expected to start selling both phones in China on 17 October as well, and will likely give an update on its sales when it holds its quarterly earnings report on 20 October.
Suppliers are also preparing mass production of a 12-inch MacBook Air in December, which would strike a middle ground between the current MacBook Air sizes of 11 and 13-inches.

The Green Party wipeout is most pleasing. I’m glad to see the back of those condescending bluffers who have damaged this country.
@gregory pym: ANNIHILATION for the party of taxes……. pontificating condescending arrogance of the highest order……. delighted to see the back of em’— hopefully permanently
@Frank Mc Carthy: What taxes are you referring to?
@Me Me: carbon tax
@gregory pym:
Bunch of middle class fascist
Wealthy enough to buy a detached home along a transport route, wanting to push the rest of us in to high density housing.
Considering all the big names that left they have done very well to maintain their position. Impressive for a party in renewal, new faces coming through.
Shysters should be investigated along with the other ar se check ff
What’s the overall turnout figure looking like ?
Don’t forget Waterford, where the Laser projectionist Matt Shannahan lost his seat, who also told a pack of lies about being involved with saving the Rescue Helicopter… good riddance. People were dying behind those walls while you promoted your own self gain.
@Steve Davis: KARMA is sweet!!! That was a stupid inconsiderate stunt
