Apple may launch iPad "giants" from March 2014

Echoing the information published last summer by the Wall Street Journal, a Chinese blog shows tests of Apple iPad 11 and almost 13 inches. These devices could be launched next spring.

While market experts believe that between 18 and 20 million iPad might be released in the fourth quarter of 2013, which would represent a good performance but lower than that recorded for the same period last year (22, 86 million units), Apple is preparing to launch a new iPad model. With a screen of 11.4 or 12.9 inches, these tablets are in the final phase of tests based on a Chinese website that is made specialty fuiter information on tablets under development.

Second alert

In July, the Wall Street Journal stated that Apple was already making tests with tablets equipped with screen larger than usual 9.7 inches. These iPad could be launched as early as March. Apple and revival with this classic launch date for its tablets and occupy the field representatives of post PC twice a year.

Touch tablet or mobile iOS?

If everything is obviously speculation, the arrival of larger tablets would fit logically in Apple's willingness to make these products productivity tools for which it is necessary to have an adequate work surface . Still, it will be necessary to avoid the problem of weight and bulk that can turn a good idea into a product stuck between laptop and tablet and makes too many compromises to seduce.
Hard to imagine in any case, with such a diagonal tile, Apple does not review its form factor.Or this giant iPad could be a real hybrid, "a portable iOS" in the words of John Gruber , blogger very knowledgable about Apple's plans.
