Apple may discontinue iPad mini series

According to a report by Taiwan’s Economic Times Daily, Apple will no longer produce 7.9-inch iPad mini series starting next year. Instead, it will concentrate on the long-rumoured iPad Pro model.

 

 Not even a month has passed since the launch of the latest iPads and the tech world is surrounded by speculation over the next line of Apple products.

According to a report by Taiwan's Economic Times Daily, Apple will no longer produce 7.9-inch iPad mini series starting next year. Instead, it will concentrate on the long-rumoured iPad Pro model.

This means that iPad mini 3 will be the last of Apple's small-screen tablets. This could be a major reason for the lack of major improvements in iPad Mini 3 compared to its predecessor. iPad mini not only faces competition from the big-screen iPad Air, but also from iPhone 6 Plus.

According to a recent report, iPad Pro has a 12.2-inch screen, while earlier reports had claimed that it will have a 12.9-inch display. The big-screen iPad is also rumoured to be as thin as iPhone 6 and have two additional speakers and a microphone located at the top of the device.



It was earlier rumoured that iPad Pro will have many productivity-focussed features and may even replace Macbook Air in Apple's portfolio. With the big screen iPad, Apple is likely to be aiming at business users and help revive iPad sales.
