E-mail Print PDF

Bloomberg reports Apple suppliers have already started producing new iPad models, chief of which being a full-size number with a 9.7-inch display possibly featuring a new anti-glare coating.

iPad child The news site adds manufacturing complications related to the anti-reflection coating (one designed to make the display easier to read) might be reason restrictions on larger iPad supplies. Either way the new iPad will be supposedly unveiled by either Q2 2014's end or on early Q3.

A 7.9-inch iPad mini is also starting production soon enough, and should be available by end 2014, Bloomberg continues.

As for the new iPhone, "people familiar with the situation" suggest the next Apple launch event will take place on 9 September 2014. Apparently this will involve not only new iPhones-- in 4.7- and 5.5-inch sizes, as per recent rumours-- but also the "iWatch" health-oriented wearable.

Apple, predictably, declines to comment on the story.
