Washington, Aug 27 - Apple is reportedly mulling an iPad with 12.5-inch display, which the company reportedly plans to begin manufacturing early next year.

However, it's not stated when the larger iPad will actually be released, but reports suggest development of an iPad at this size for about a year now, so it's quite possible that it's finally headed toward a launch, CNN reported.

Currently, Apple offers iPad mini and iPad Air, with 7.9 and 9.7-inch displays respectively.

Apple is also said to be releasing two larger iPhones next month, which signals a response to consumers' increasing interest in devices with larger screens. (ANI)
