Production on the bigger tablet had been
scheduled to begin this quarter, Bloomberg reported, citing
people familiar with the company's plans.
Apple suppliers have been told to start production of the
larger-screen iPad in the second half of this year as the
company explores new designs and features for the enterprise
market, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Apple is now considering adding USB ports and adopting a faster
technology that promises to transfer data up to 10 times faster
than current USB ports, the Journal said, citing people familiar
with the matter.
The company has also been considering adding ports to connect to
a keyboard and mouse, the Journal report said.
While suppliers are gearing up to ship the new 12-inch MacBook
Air in large quantities in the second quarter, Apple's launch
schedule remains unclear, the newspaper said.
Reuters could not immediately reach Apple for comment outside
regular U.S. business hours.
