KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new research note today that indicates Apple is expected to released the iPad Air 3 in the first half of 2016; however, the device is unlikely to feature 3D touch due to production issues.iPad Air 3 in 1H16F unlikely to feature 3D Touch. We forecast that iPad Air 3 will opt not to feature 3D Touch because of production issues.While we think the 3D Touch supply chain produced more to avoid shortages in the early stages, slower end-product demand and improved back-end assembly yield have resulted in the current high inventory. As 1Q16 demand looks to slow on seasonality and competition from other brands’ new models, we believe 3D Touch supply chain capacity utilization is currently lower than peak level of 30%, and that will last through 1Q16.Apple could announce the new iPad Air 3 at its rumored March 2016 event where it is expected to announce the Apple Watch 2 and perhaps a 4-inch iPhone. At last year’s March event, Apple introduced the new 12-inch MacBook and Apple Watch pricing details.

That may have been way off the mark.In a note to clients issued late Monday, Munster reported that of 188 iPhone 6S buyers surveyed in mid-November, 70 people (37%) chose the new program.

Apple has opened a production laboratory in northern Taiwan where the company is developing new display technologies, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The report claims that Apple has at least 50 engineers and other workers creating displays for devices including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple began operating this lab this year in an effort to make their displays thinner, lighter, brighter, and more energy-efficient. The report claims that Apple is also interested in possibly moving to OLED technology, which corroborates a similar report that surfaced last month. Apple has also recruited several employees from AU Optronics and Qualcomm to work in the facility, which was previously owned by Qualcomm. Records indicate Apple moved into the factory in April.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
