Rumors, originally based rather on the larger screen size of models like the Galaxy as well as the desire of an important sector of followers of the bitten apple brand, about the supposed decision of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to enlarge the screen size of the iPhone were fed this summer also with the rumor, published by the Wall Street Journal and which the Mashable website echoed, that the Cupertino company was already testing a screen larger than 9,7 ″ on the iPad.
Today, it seems clear that the path of future smartphones inexorably passes through 5 inches; What does not seem to be so clear is that the ideal size for a tablet should exceed the range of approximately 10 inches, although it is true that there are already hybrid models between laptop and larger tablet.
Under these premises, the digital magazine Digitimes announced on Christmas Eve that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will launch the one that will be the iPad largest designed yet. Manufactured by Quanta Computer, this new iPad (whose name we still do not know) will have a 12,9 ″ screen, having discarded the original idea of 13,3 ″ for the benefit of better handling and portability, which will have to compete with the new tablet model that is expected to launch Samsung throughout 2014 and that will also present a screen around 12-13 inches.
Along with the above, the permanent rumor is added, of which many of us are fully convinced and of which our colleague Sergio spoke to us in the post The screen size of the next iPhone, a iPhone 6 (or whatever it is called) with a screen around 5 ″ and which, according to the latest published information, could be launched on the market in May 2014.
The big question that now arises is: will this new iPad the substitute for MacBook Air?
