This Thursday morning, news from Apple's Asia supply chain said that at least two parts manufacturers are "accelerating" mass production of next-generation iPad and AirPods products for Apple, which are expected to be released in the next few weeks.

At least two parts manufacturers are

Taiwanese media DigiTimes, which has a close relationship with Taiwan's supply chain, quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Apple's suppliers in Taiwan are stepping up mass production of a brand new "cheap" iPad, and the successor to Apple's popular AirPods wireless headsets. Among them, the parts of the newly entered iPad are produced by Taijun Technology and Zhending Technology , while the parts of AirPods 2 are produced by Huatong Computer and Jinglian Electronics.

According to current industry rumors, Apple's next generation entry-level iPad will still be based on the 2018 model. In conservative situation, there are two models. One is the 9.7-inch model that only upgrades the processor, retains the HOME key and headphone jack for Touch ID fingerprint recognition, and the other is to expand the screen to 10.2-inch, and the processor speed will also be faster, which will be a continuation of the series in the future.

. For AirPods' second-generation wireless headphones, it is rumored that Apple will launch black and white colors for it, with a price of $199. It uses a new coating on the outside to increase the so-called "ear grip" and fit, improve anti-slip and anti-falling effects. It will also support the "Hey, Siri" function natively, and may add health monitoring functions such as heart rate sensors. The headphones will use the latest Bluetooth 5.0 low-energy standard to improve sound quality, and provide AirPods wireless charging case accessories that support Qi wireless charging. The wireless charging speed is only 15 minutes.

Kuo Ming-Chi Kuo previously pointed out that AirPods will be the fastest growing product among Apple-related products, with shipments increasing by about 90% in 2019 and expected annual shipments to reach 100 million by 2021, because he believes that less than 5% of iPhone users currently own AirPods.

: Let’s say that, it is still impossible to determine the specific release time of the new iPad and the second-generation AirPods. If nothing unexpected happens, the new iPad model should be unveiled at the launch conference in the early morning of March 26, and the AirPods 2 may have to wait for a while.
