During the recent Apple event, the giant tech company revealed its new iPad Pro 2018 model, dubbed as iPad Pro 3, along with the new iOS 12.1 version. Besides presenting the device’s new design with no Home Button, Apple also asked developers to support iPhone XS Max, iPad Pro 3, and the new iOS 12.1 by March 2019.
According to the Apple devs web page, the developers must build new apps with the iOS 21.1 SDK by March 2019, thus, supporting the new Apple devices, including iPad Pro 3 and iPhone XS Max, along with the newly released iOS 12.1. The devs must focus on the new iPad design which lacks a home button, so the new apps must center on that, leaving thin extra space at the bottom of the screen to allow users to use gestures to navigate the new tablet.
However, there are more new features the developers must focus upon, including the new Apple Pencil functions and the higher screen-to-body-ratios the new iPhone XS Max and iPad Pro 3 boast.

Apple also asked developers to concentrate on the other new features both iPhone XS Max and iPad Pro 3 boast, besides the new functions of the iOS 12.1 version. Accordingly, the devs must also create apps with the new features of the Apple Pencil in mind but also with a focus on the new functionality of the iPad Pro 3 which allows users to connect external hardware via USB-C.
When researching on the new Apple’s developers guidelines referring to the new devices such as iPhone XS Max and iPad Pro 3, besides iOS 12.1, surprisingly, there is nothing about the new 11-inch iPad Pro which is, in reality, featuring an entirely new aspect ratio when compared to the previous iPad Pro models and even to the new iPad Pro 3.
