Apple insiders revealed that the company actually intends to begin production of the larger version of the iPad in the first quarter of this year for possible launching and release to the retail market in the second quarter.
Now that the production has been delayed to September 2015, it is likely that the company will be launching the iPad Pro before the Holidays where it expects to generate good sales.
However, the delay has sidetracked Appleās plan of sustaining the good sales performance of the iPad Air 2 with the possible early release of the iPad Pro to keep the momentum going. It would just be up to iPad Air 2 to hold the fort in terms of sales output while waiting for the production and release into the market of the iPad Pro.
