“KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is seeing less than satisfactory output of iPad Pro’s massive 12.9-inch display, the tablet’s main draw,” Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider. “Kuo says Sharp is currently the sole supplier for Pro’s high-resolution screen, though Samsung is expected to lend a hand before the end of 2015.”
“As many iPad Pro buyers are well aware, Apple Pencil was in strictly limited supply at launch, with current ship-by times pegged at four- to five-weeks,” Campbell reports. “Confirming industry whispers, Kuo says assembly of the complex device is not going as smoothly as planned. ”
Campbell reports, “As for unit sales, iPad Pro is off to a decent start with Apple moving 2.4 million to 2.6 million copies to close out 2015.”

“Redundant, Worthless or Pointless”
At least your screen name matches your opinion.
There are no production issues.
Understandable allocation logistics issues are the reason for the early delays and are totally immaterial and insignificant to the big picture.
iPad rules the world.
That’s Understandable worldwide distribution allocation logistics issues…
