LG to Supply 2 to 3 Million iPad Panels in Q3 2013

Apple is said to have contracted with LG Electronics to supply 9.7 inch sized panels that will go into the 5th gen iPad. The volume of the shipment is expected to be around 2.5 to 3 million and should be supplied during Q3, 2013. Of these, 1 to 2 million of the panels are expected to be those for iPad 5, while the remaining are meant for the previous generation iPad. Analysts believe Apple will continue with the same 2048 x 1536 resolution panels for the fifth gen iPad, though the device as a whole will be lighter and thinner than its predecessors. LG is also believed to be scaling up its production capabilities of 7.9 inch retina display panels meant for the iPad Mini in order to deliver 2 to 3 million of these during the same period. Going by the last rumors concerning the release of the iPad Mini 2, experts had pegged the release to the first half of 2014, given the inadequate supply of the 7.9 inch retina display. No doubt this will spark off a fresh set of speculations about when the retina display enabled iPad Mini 2 is likely to be launched. Apple is expected to launch a new iPad and iPad Mini, as well as a new iPhone this fall. LG to Supply 2 to 3 Million iPad Panels in Q3 2013 is a post from: E-Reader News
