Apple Inc suppliers will begin mass producing displays as early as May 2014 for the next iPhone, expected to be launched this autumn, with a 4.7-inch screen likely to be produced first while a 5.5-inch version could be delayed, supply chain sources said. Japan Display Inc, Sharp Corp and South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd have all been tapped to make the screens, said the sources, who asked not to be identified. Reuters

Apple's MacBook Pro is one of the company's most popular flagships thus the attention over upgrades and new releases. Despite the refreshed version released already, expectations are high for another 2015 MacBook Pro sometime later this year. According to estimates, the device should promise a revolutionary performance if Apple will push through with Intel's high powered version of the Skylake processors.

There has been a consensus about the 14nm Skylake Processors as one of Intel's most significant releases of th e year. As the company hints the near arrival of the chips, a recent leak offered a look on the possible features of the series. Consequently, as Apple is expected to update to the hardware, the same specs may show up on upcoming products including another 2015 MacBook Pro.

As with other leaks, people should take all details with a grain of salt. Should the specs be true then peopke can expect "around 4.4-4.5 Ghz OC clocks on average for the generic Skylake die." As noted in the listing, the "k" label should indicate that Intel's upcoming series will come with unlocked processors.

However, despite the expectations circling Skylake-based processors, The Motley Fool expects Apple to come with with a Broadwell-based refresh. Intel has already released a low-powered series but forecasts still put the MacBook Pro running on the high-powered versions. Rumored specifications for the new processor series include Core i5-5675C/5675R and Core i7-5775C/5775R point offering possible CPU performance improvements.

Likewise, the integrated graphics processors otherwise dubbed as Iris Pro 6200 by the company should also offer considerable improvements from what Haswell has to offer. If Broadwell can push through as expected then it should be a no-brainer for Apple to adopt the same chipset for the 21.5-inch iMacs. Apple has yet to provide the final details about its upcoming computers.
