A few days ago, Barclays analysts released their latest report related to the expectations of the Cupeetino guys. This latest report states that Apple could launch a new iPad next year, thus confirming what Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at KGI Securities, announced a few months ago. According to the latest Barclays report accessed by Business Insider, Apple could launch a new 10,9-inch iPad that would complement the 9,7 and 12,9 models that are currently part of the Pro range, as this new model would enter the same range.
But apparently it would not be the only novelty that this new iPad would bring us, but it would also have the same size of the 9,7-inch iPad but taking advantage of most of the front to offer a virtually borderless screen on 3 of its 4 sides.
For this new iPad, Apple would continue to opt for LCD screens instead of OLEDs, whose implementation is planned for 2018 and first of all for the iPhone, it would already be seen when they reach the iPad. A few months ago Foxconn took over screen maker Sharp, in a move to try to meet Apple's future expectations in this sense, although at the moment it seems that Samsung and LG have more ballots to take over the manufacture of future OLED screens.
From the first iPad model, the Cupertino-based company had been reluctant to launch a larger iPad, until last year when it launched the iPad Pro. an iPad with incredible features With which Apple wants us to stop using computers and do everything with this iPad, an idea that can be useful for many people but for those who spend the day in front of the computer it is not possible.
Particularly it makes no sense for Apple to launch a new 10'9-inch iPad format Increased the current size of the iPad Pro by one inch, although the device remains the same size. Keep in mind that Apple has launched the Pro models to try to give the tablet market a spin, since fewer units are being sold while PC sales are rising again. It seems that the post-PC era has passed to become the post-tablet era.
