Apple working on 12.9-inch iPad for 2014

Tech giant Apple is reportedly speculated to be working on a large-screened iPad for the upcoming year.

Sources from Apple’s Asia supply chain, Digitimes said that the company might be underway to release a 12.9-inch iPad sometime in October 2014.

According to Mashable, Digitimes’ source has also pointed that the rumoured tablet will be manufactured by Taiwan-based PC manufacturer Quanta Compute.

Earlier speculations have hinted to an iPhone with a larger screen and an Apple-branded smart television.

The report said that an iPad with a nearly 13-inch screen would largely buck the current trend of smaller tablets and phablets currently dominating the global marketplace and could function as a tool particularly useful in educational environment.
