Apple held two major launch events in 2014. The first one was in September where it launched the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. And the second came a month later where it rolled out the iPad Air 2, the iPad mini 3, the iMac, and the Yosemite OS X desktop operating system.
Several days later after that, the American tech giant rolled out the Apple Pay as it ventures into the mobile payment system for the very first time.
As much as 2014 was a banner year for Apple, the company wants to sustain the momentum by coming out smoking in 2015.
In addition to the planned release of the Apple Watch in the first quarter of 2015, the company is now rumored to be preparing for the possible simultaneous launching of the iPad Pro and the MacBook Air with Retina display around the second quarter.
As early as late November 2014, MacRumors has already hinted that the latest tablet from Apple, to be called iPad Pro may be released anytime from April to June 2015.
The rumors was actually based on a report shared by Japanese website Mac Otakara that Japanese magazine Mac Fan has already released the possible schematics of the iPad Pro, which was also called the iPad Air Plus.
Consistent with the latest report of the Master Herald on Apple’s latest MacBook Air with Retina display that it would be released in the second quarter of 2015, Christian Today sort of confirmed the roll out date.
The site based its information on a Taiwanese source called DigiTimes which revealed that Apple’s latest laptop may officially hit the market in April 2015.
Launching the MacBook Air Retina on April 2015 would be fitting for Apple since it launched the MacBook Air in April 2014, and a one-year cycle for a product offering is typical and just about right.
