Suppliers say Apple will overtake all product lines in 2012
Taiwanese journal on Thursday DigiTimes' sources in the upstream supply chain "that Apple is quoted all its product lines during the course of the next calendar year conversion claim. But given the fact that the publication was only on the express mention of the iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Air Lines, it is unclear whether a rumored overhaul will mention are products like the MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, Mac Pro and iPod .
According to the report is an iPad upgrade in early 2012 to go into operation, while the next-generation iPhone and iMac in the second half of next year are expected.
Sources said Apple will be completed "contract for the key parts and components" for the third generation of the iPad in December. The manufacturer can produce as many as two million units by the end of the year, they added.
