Production of the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 is said to start this month, we heard previous rumors that the 5.5 inch model will go into production in August, although according to a new report, production of the iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3 and 5.5 inch iPhone 6 wont start until September.
The news comes from the Chinese media who have said that production of the 5.5 inch iPhone 6, plus the new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 wont start until September.
According to the latest report by Chitika, the Apple iPad now has a 78 percent share of the U.S. tablet web traffic, and Apple is still way ahead of other companies in terms of web traffic on tablets.
In second place is Amazon with around a 7.3 percent share of web browsing on tablets, third place we have Samsung with a 6.3 percent share, fourth we have Google and their Nexus tablets with a 2.1 percent share.
Apple are expected to release their new iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 later this year, we have already heard various rumors about these two new tablets, although now it would appear that we have some more information.
When Apple released the iPad Air last year, the device go a complete redesign, and it was thinner than the previous model, and now it would appear that the iPad Mini 3 will get a similar redesign.
The iPad Air 2 has yet to be released, we are expecting the device some time over the next few months, and had previously heard that it may feature an IGZO display, although it looks like that wont happen until the iPad Air 3.
According to a recent report, the iPad Air 3 will be the first iPad to get an IGZO display, and that device wont launch until 2015.
It’s not just the iPhone 6, the iPad line up is due for a refresh later this year as well, and we’ve seen a few rumors hinting at what we could expect from the upcoming tablets.
Apple is rumored to launch the updated iPad line up by the end of the year, which are said to come with a few design changes as well. Recently, the popular designer Martin Hajek created some iPad Mini 3 renders which features a soft, rounded edges — something similar to the rumored iPhone 6 — as well as a Touch ID sensor.
Earlier this month, a research suggested that iPhone 5S is still the top smartphone in the world, followed by a few Samsung devices — the Galaxy S5 was not launched during the test period so it was taken in to account for the study.
It’s been over six months since Apple released its upgraded iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina. A new report estimates that iPhone will see a slight increase in sales in the third quarter, while the sales of the iPad will remain the same — a negligible decline which can be ignored.

Do you have an unexplained rash on your body? Odd as it sounds, the problem may be your Apple tablet. You might be allergic to it. According to Pediatrics, cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been on the rise thanks to materials used on smartphones and tablets. One possible explanation is the recent use of nickel on mobile devices, which leaves an uncomfortable red, itchy rash.
The report cites one case of an 11 year old treated for contact dermatitis. The doctors tested his first generation Apple iPad and found that it contained nickel. Then they told the child to put a case on his tablet, and once he did, the rash improved quite a bit. There was a case back in February, where fitness band manufacturer FitBit had to recall their Force wristband after many users got a rash and a case of contact dermatitis as well. It happens.
So now you know that your rash may be related to your device. And if you suspect this, put a case on it and see if it improves. If it doesn’t improve, you might want to visit the doctor. But hopefully we just solved your rash problem for you. You are welcome.
