New iPads not launching until second half of 2017.JPG

MacRumors reports today that Apple’s highly anticipated new iPad range will not be launched until the second half of 2017, according to sources in Apple’s upstream supply chain, via DigiTimes.

It’s thought that the 9.7-inch iPad will be starting mass production in Q1, while the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPads will start mass production in Q2. The source says that all the new iPads are still in the “planning” phase. The report is also yet more support for the rumour that Apple will indeed be releasing a 10.5-inch iPad.

Originally it was thought that Apple would be launching the new iPad range as soon as the Spring, but this new information claims that “these tablets may not be announced or even released” until the second half of 2017.

One of the reasons for Apple apparently deciding to move the launch until later in the year could possibly be the “lower-than-expected” yield rates for the 10-nanometer manufacturing process that was reported on in December last year.

Ugh this makes me sad, hopefully a spring launch still happens.

I've been waiting for the new large pro, really really need the newer radio to spend $1200.

Come on spring release !
