We have been hearing rumors that Apple could be working on a larger iPad which could sport a 12.9-inch display called the iPad Pro. Rumors being rumors, it’s hard to tell if the tablet will ever see the light of day or if it even exists at all. In the meantime if you were looking forward to seeing it in 2014, you might be disappointed to learn that the tablet might not be launching this year after all. Instead the rumored iPad Pro could see a release in 2015. This is according to KGI Securities analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, who has in the past been relatively accurate with his predictions of Apple’s plans.

According to Kuo, he believes that Apple will only release an updated version of the iPad Air later this year. The Cupertino company will instead shift its resources from its Retina iPad Mini towards creating the iPad Pro. His research notes state, “All told, we think chances of the debut of a new iPad mini in 2H14 are slim. In addition, the 12.9” iPad is unlikely to be offered in 2014. For these reasons, we predict the only new iPad product in 2H14 will be the upgraded iPad Air.” The iPad mini is a smaller version of the iPad that has been well-received by those who prefer a smaller tablet that runs iOS. In fact it does not seem to warrant discontinuation but if Kuo’s predictions are on the money, that would seem to be the case. In the meantime what do you guys think? Will you be disappointed if the iPad Mini were to be discontinued?

The iPad 2 is almost three years old, though it did become one of the most popular tablets that Apple has ever released. It was a major change over its predecessor, the original iPad, which came out back in 2010. iPad 2 brought a whole new design that wasn’t just thinner and lighter, but also packed a mean punch under the hood. However since then it has been succeeded by multiple models that tout ever faster internals as well as Retina Displays. Customers are leaning more towards them, which means that demand for the iPad 2 continues to diminish. This is believed to be the primary reason why Apple is slowly ramping down iPad 2 production, before finally discontinuing it.

When it comes to making a purchase decision, there are many factors taken into consideration, like price, design, features, and so on. Then there are some who take it even further by making their decision based on where the product is made, whether it is made by workers who are working in good conditions (e.g. not sweat shop workers or mistreated workers), and also if there are conflict minerals being used. Well for would-be Apple customers, you might be pleased to learn that Apple has confirmed that their suppliers do not use unethically sourced tantalum. (more…)
