Apple Inc.'s overseas suppliers have ramped up production of the company's long-anticipated new iPads and a launch is planned for early May, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The release will center on revamped versions of the iPad Pro and iPad Air, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren't public. As Bloomberg News has previously reported, the Pro models will get crisper new OLED displays — short for organic light-emitting diode — while the iPad Air will get a 12.9-inch screen option for the first time.
