According to latest reports, the supersized Apple tablet could debut in early 2014. But we wonder why would Apple produce such a huge iPad?
12.9-inch is pretty huge for a tablet and it seems Apple wants to outsize all other tablets, even its previous 10-inch iPad.
The new iPad will feature retina display and would boast a better picture than the current model, offering a display almost equal in quality to an ultra high-definition screen.
Sources said that the screen itself is currently being produced by one of Apple's major suppliers.
There are two reasons why Apple wants to produce such a large iPad . First, Apple wants to introduce larger tablets as an alternative to PCs. Second, it wants to compete with Samsung and other tablet makers. Korean sources report that Samsung is preparing for a 12.2-inch version of its Galaxy Note tablet.
How must we believe this rumour? Now that Samsung is getting ready for a 12.2-inch tablet, we should probably believe the rumour for iPad.
Reports like these should always be taken with a pinch of salt. A 12.9-inch screen would require a tablet measuring around 15 inches diagonally, falsifying the whole idea of a mobile device. But when seen as an alternative to a laptop, a large-screen iPad sounds pretty feasible.
Apple also triggered speculation in October when it announced the iPad Air, a thinner and lighter version of its traditional 9.8-inch tablet. Following the naming convention of the Mac, an iPad Pro could be on Apple's agenda. If so, such a model would likely be more powerful and potentially bigger than the current version.
Well then let’s wait and watch what the two tech Giants Apple and Samsung have up for grabs. Such huge tablets shall probably change the users’ approach towards mobile devices.
