In 2014, Apple updated its tablet iPad Air, but with the release of a giant 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the new iPad mini, it decided to wait.
The new note prepared by the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo for investors, said that the second generation iPad Air will be the only new tablet that Apple will introduce this year. It will be equipped with 64-bit CPU A8 and Fingerprint Touch ID, which is now used only in iPhone 5S. Announcement of new products expected in the third quarter of this year.
Apple does not intend to update iPad mini second-generation . The compact tablet is equipped with Retina-display, the most powerful processor to date, a series of Apple Ax and its technical characteristics similar to the iPad Air.
According to the analyst, now all Apple powers focused on developing software for smart wrist watches iWatch. Their release is expected in the current year.
Ming-Chi Kuo also confirmed that Apple will soon withdraw from the production second-generation iPad . Instead, it will resume selling fourth-generation iPad, which has disappeared after the release of iPad Air and iPad mini 2.
