Apple to Hold iPad Event in April at New Headquarters?

While many are predicting that Apple will hold a special event in late March to unveil new iPads, a new DigiTimes report suggests the company will hold off until April to hold an inaugural event at its new headquarters.

Apple Park is home to the Steve Jobs theater. The 1,000-seat auditorium features a 20-foot-tall glass cylinder entrance, 165 feet in diameter, supporting a metallic carbon-fiber roof. It's situated atop a hill — one of the highest points within Apple Park — overlooking meadows and the main building.

DigiTimes also walks back a prediction that the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro won't enter production until May-June.


Apple has moved ahead the production for its planned new 10.5-inch iPad to March instead of an earlier timetable set for May-June and is expected to unveil the new iPad at a product event to be held in early April to mark the inauguration of Apple's new headquarters in California, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.

Sales of the 10.5-inch iPad are estimated to reach one million units in March, and 1.2 million units/month from Q2.
