Apple may be unable to ramp up
supply of iPad 3 until 2Q12, say source
s Siu Han, Taipei;
Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Thursday 1 March 2012] Apple may not unable to ramp up the supply of its
next-generation iPads (iPad 3), which are expected to be launched
at a company event on March 7, due to insufficient supply of high
resolution displays, according to industry sources in the supply
chain.
The new iPad, which reportedly will come in 16GB and 32GB
versions, will continue to be equipped with 9.7-inch panels but
with a display resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels (264ppi) compared
to the previous standard of 1024 by 769 pixels, the sources noted.
Although Apple has chosen Sharp to replace Chimei Innolux
(CMI) as one of its three suppliers for the high resolution (QXGA)
panels – in addition to LG Display and Samsung Electronics, the
whole supply chain has failed to substantially ramp up the supply
of QXGA panels, the sources revealed.
As a result, iPad 2 will remain the mainstream in shipments
in the most part of the first quarter before shipments of iPad 3
start gaining momentum in the second quarter, the sources
stated.
join the Apple Party in time. Do you really
think Tim Cook is going to announce the IPad 3 on Wednesday
and look like a complete moron by saying .. oh by the way..its a
great product but we can't deliver it? That
would be really screwed up for his first presentation after
Steve Job's Death.
No way to know...but I can tell you this as a 100% certainty.
Some of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life was by assuming
that people who appear to have been smart in the past continue to
be so.
