Report: a 12.9-inch iPad may arrive in early 2015, iPhone 6 should be announced on September 9

After years in which it released only tablets with screens smaller than 10 inches, Apple may finally introduce an extra-large iPad next year. According to Bloomberg, Apple’s partners are working on a 12.9-inch iPad that should enter production in the first quarter of 2015. Previous reports had it that the 12.9-inch iPad would arrive before the end of 2014, but it looks like this isn’t going to happen. While there aren’t any details on the features of the 12.9-inch iPad, it’s said that “potential customers” for it are businesses, rather than regular users.

Of course, before launching the 12.9-inch iPad, Apple will unveil a new 9.7-inch iPad, as well as an updated 7.9-inch iPad mini. Bloomberg has it that both these new iPads should be available in time for the holiday season this year.

Bloomberg also provides details on the iPhone 6. According to its sources, Apple will announce the next-generation iPhone on September 9 - just as previously rumored. Naturally, said sources reconfirmed what’s been known for months: there will be two iPhone 6 models, one sporting a 4.7-inch display, and a larger one with a 5.5-inch screen.
