Suppliers Are Ramping Up Component Production for New iPad Air

Suppliers are reportedly ramping up production of components for a new iPad Air that will be thinner and feature an improved Touch ID fingerprint sensor, according to Digitimes.

Touch panel makers TPK and GIS are among some of the makers receiving orders from Apple for full-lamination units.
