Sony might try to release giant iPad before Apple

Sony is working on a 12.9-inch tablet, according to a DigiTimes. The tablet would directly compete with Apple’s own 12.9-inch tablet that’s reportedly in the works.

Citing Digitimes, Business Insider reports that it will feature a 12.9-inch display with a whopping 3,840 x 2,400 pixels, which would be able to produce stunning 4K pictures. It would be powered by a Qualcomm processor and come with an 8-megapixel camera on the back side.

The device, said to be mass produced by Pegatron (which is also one of Apple’s suppliers), is said to be 8.6 mm thick. The 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 is 6.1 mm thick, and last year's iPad Air is 7.5 mm thick — it's unclear if Apple’s bigger tablet would be much thicker than that.
