While tech giant Apple has just released a new tablet device called the iPad, new rumours suggest the company may be working on a new device already.
Popular blog TechCrunch has reported sources as saying the new device will be larger than the current iPad model and will feature a version of OS X.
“As usual, you should also note that Apple likely has a ton of projects in various stages that never see the light of day. It seems certain that at points they were playing with different sized screens for what became the iPad. But one of our sources here puts this new tablet as being released within the next year.”
The new larger tablet would apparently work more like a laptop equivalent than the iPad’s gap between a smartphone and low-priced laptop.
If this tablet computer is in production and is set to be introduced in a year, the company may introduce the product at the World Wide Developer’s Conference in June.
