eWeek is reporting that Apple will yet another offering… a medium sized iPad.

Fans of Apple’s iPad tablet can look forward to a version of the device with a smaller screen size—7.85 inches, to be exact—in the fourth quarter of 2012, along with a new version of the popular tablet in the first quarter of the year, according to a report in Taiwanese tech site DigiTimes.

According to unnamed sources “in the supply chain,” Apple will buy panels for the iPad from AU Optronics (AUO), as well as 7.85-inch panels from LG Display, the online site reported.

The next iPad will launch in March or April 2012, DigiTimes reported. That Dec. 12 article again cited unnamed sources in the supply chain for the information. The article said: “The next-generation iPads are expected to be available in the next 3-4 months as makers in the supply chain have started delivering parts and components for the new tablets to OEM contractors while reducing those prepared for iPad 2.”
