While unannounced products can never be delayed, the report suggests meeting demand for the new iPhone 6 (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6) and iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6-plus) is Apple's priority right now.<!--break--> That's according to the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/articles/larger-apple-ipad-to-be-delayed-1412846867):</p>

<p>"The top priority for the supply chain is to meet the overwhelming demand for the larger screen iPhones. The output of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus remains unsatisfactory," said a person at a supplier. "It would be challenging for display makers to split resources and spend a few months to ramp up production for a new larger screen iPad now."</p>

<p>An iPad Pro at 12.9-inches would likely be more of a niche product, aimed at power users and creative professionals, though larger phone sizes could also drive other customers towards larger iPads. With a big phone you might not need to carry a small tablet with you, and be able to enjoy a bigger tablet at home or at work.</p> <p>Apple is expected to officially reveal new versions of its current iPads (http://www.imore.com/ipads), along with new Mac (http://www.imore.com/macs), at at an October special event (http://www.imore.com/ipad-mac-event) to be held at its Cupertino, California headquarters on the 16th.</p> <p>If Apple announced a larger iPad, would you be interested in getting it?</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27567"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3f48b7e8/sc/21/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
