iPad Pro 2018 Release Date Leaks – Improved Design with FaceID technology

Apple’s iPad Pro is one of the most anticipated devices amongst those not yet announced by the American company. It generates a large amount of leaks and with the rumors gathering pace on the internet, we know more and more about Apple’s new tablet with each passing day. Let’s take a look at what we might know about iPad Pro’s specifications and features.

New design of iPad Pro 2018

It is very possible that the new iPad Pro will have a design similar to the one of iPhone X, which means that the bezels will be almost non-existent, while the home button is going to be completely removed. Given some contradictory rumors, we do not know for sure if iPad Pro will feature a notch or not. According to some, the fact that with iOS 12 the gestures of iPad resemble those of iPhone X seems to suggest that a notch will be present on iPad Pro 2018.

FaceID technology

With the arrival of iPhone X, we saw the introduction of FaceID, which replaced TouchID. Many amongst the leakers expect that iPad Pro will use the same technology. Considering some of the already mentioned changes in the design, especially the missing home button and slimmer bezels, this theory seems likely.

Screen

The experts do not expect for the screen of iPad Pro 2018 to be larger, so the size will remain at 10.5-inch. However, thanks to the minimal bezels, the body of the tablet might be smaller. Now, some bad news for those fans who would like to see an OLED screen on the iPad Pro: it is highly unlikely, considering the supply limitations for OLED panels of such size.

New Pencil

According to some sources, iPad Pro 2018 might also get a new and improved stylus.

Release date

The announcement of iPad Pro 2018 was supposed to take place during the WWDC 2018, according to the rumors. However, it didn’t happen and since we have no strong predictions at the moment, we will have to wait longer for more news.

iPad Pro 2018 New Features and Possible Launch Date

As we know by now, no details about iPad Pro models were provided during the WWDC 2018 event. While we have no news about Apple’s next tablets, we definitely had some hints given by the developers, so we can take a look at the information that we have so far.

Possible new features

As it has been the case for the past few years, the release of iOS 12’s beta version gives us some hints about the new features that could potentially be used on new iPad Pro. According to some sources, a new tablet could have a notch and an edge-to-edge display. Another addition could be Face ID, which might replace the Touch ID sensor.

Display

It seems unlikely that the panels of the two new tablets will be bigger than 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch, so maybe it is the time to improve the resolution, which currently stands at 2224 x 1668 and 2732 x 2048. Another possibility is a full 4K panel.

Processor and camera

It is expected that the new iPad Pro will be using an improved version of the A11 Bionic chip, which could be named A11X Bionic, while the hexa-core processor will be replaced by octa-core.

When it comes to the camera, it is likely that the new tablet will offer an upgrade compared to the 12MP rear and 7MP selfie camera of the last iPad Pro.

Price

We shouldn’t expect for the prices to be lowered compared to the already released models ($649/£619 for 10.5-inch and $799/£769 for 12.9-inch), the opposite is a real possibility, considering all new features that might be introduced on iPad Pro.

Possible launch date

Considering the fact that it’s been more than a year since the last version of iPad Pro was released, we can expect the launch of Apple’s new tablets at any point in 2018. With the next iPhone launch scheduled for September, there is a chance that Apple will want to unveil its new iPad Pro hardware during this event.

Apple Pencil 2

In addition to iPad Pro 2018, we should also see the arrival of Apple Pencil 2, an advanced pressure-sensitive stylus. Amongst its innovations we might see an eraser and a new tip, while it should also be easier to attach it to the iPad.
