Apple will introduce a next generation iPad and next generation AirPods at its March 25th press event, according to DigiTimes sources. The event will also be used by Apple to unveil a new video service and Apple News Magazines subsription.

Flexible PCB firms Flexium Interconnect and Zhen Ding Technology are reportedly preparing to begin mass production of new iPad devices while Compeq Manufacturing and Unitech PCB will supply rigid-flex boards for AirPods.

Both Zhen Ding and Flexium may see their shipments for Apple's upcoming iPad models offset a slowdown in shipments for the iPhones in the first half of 2019, the sources noted. Meanwhile, the availability of Apple's long-awaited AirPods 2 is seen as a boost to revenues at both Compeq and Unitech during the six-month period, the sources continued.

The new AirPods are rumored to feature super fast wireless charging, a new surface coating similar to the Apple Pencil, and a case that's bigger in one direction.
