Apple Gears Up for Switch to Next Gen iPads

Apple supply chain manufacturers are switching focus to next generation iPad components, winding down production for iPad 2 components, reports Digitimes .

Supply of next generation iPad components has already started even as production of iPad 2 components is winding down with iPad 2 production volumes expected to drop from 14-15 million units in the last quarter of 2011 to just 4-5 million units in first quarter of 2012.

Chinese-language Commercial Times, quoting Kevin Chang, an analyst of Citigroup Global Markets, reports that Foxconn Electronics will start rolling out next gen iPads from January, increasing monthly production volumes from February onwards.

Between 9.5 – 9.8 million next gen iPads are expected to be produced in the first quarter of 2012.

Apple is expected to end 2011 triumphantly with total iPad sales of 40 million units, having sold 25.06 million units in the first three quarters.

It is rumored that next gen iPads will comprise two products – a low end iPad Mini and flagship product iPad 3.

iPad mini will reportedly feature a 7.85-in display with 1024 x 768 resolution, the same as iPad. It will be powered by an improved processor based on the ARM Cortex A9 core, with 512 Mb RAM.

Some analysts believe the mini will be diminutive in price not display size, to match Amazon's Kindle Fire.

The flagship iPad 3 will hit the market after the Mini. It will reportedly feature a QXGA 2048 x 1536 retina display.
