Reports are that Apple is looking to supply 4 million units each month starting in September of the upcoming 7.85-inch iPad. This is being done to prepare for demand from year-end holidays.

Most think that the new 7.85-inch iPad will launch in October with a thinner screen frame to allow the device to feature a larger display area than its competitors with a resolution similar to that of iPad 2. It is believed that the supply chain already started supplying a small volume of 7.85-inch iPads in June with a monthly volume at around several hundreds of thousands.
