Apple Asked Developers To Support iPhone XS Max, iPad Pro 3, and iOS 12.1 by March 2019

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.

iPad Pro 3 Next Changes, New Screen Resolution and Latest Leaks

Also called the iPad Pro 2018, the Pro 3 is perhaps one of the most expected tech devices of this year. We heard some news about it, this time in a mobile app analytics platform, Appsee. Apparently, it will feature a screen resolution that would be similar to the models released in 2017.

Another rumor suggests that this iPad will come with no headphone jack and it will be 5.9 inches thick. MacRumors said that Appsee managed to find out that the new iPad Pro models will feature the same screen resolutions as the current 12.9 inches and 10.5 inches models. The iPad 8,1 to 8,4 should come with 1112×834 points of display resolution, while the following models until 8,8 will boast 1366×1024 points of resolution.

What is important to know is that points of resolution don’t mean the same as pixel resolution. Apple applied a modifier, making every point to have four pixels, which will have the results looking like this:

  • 1,366×1,024 (2) = 2,732×2,048 pixels – The same screen resolution of the 2017 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
  • 1112×834 (2) = 2,224×1,668 pixels – The same screen resolution of the 2017 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

The overall size of both tablets is expected to shrink, despite the fact that they will come with the same display sizes as the ones released last year and they would still retain the aspect ratios (4:3). That’s due to the designer’s choice to opt for the appearance similar to the iPhone X that has an all-screen design.

As we already said, there are other rumors stating that the tablet will be 5.9 inches thick and it will not feature a headphone jack. The thickness aspect, however, represented the first ‘leak’ of a Twitter user so it lacks proper credibility so far, as it is the case of the headphone rumor as well.

iPad Pro 3 Reveals Possible Features and how the Device might look like

Despite the numerous iPad Pro 3 rumors, an actual picture of the tablet didn’t surface so far. This will all change, however, as there are a few renders which have been revealed. A fairly reliable leaker, @OnLeaks, shared, on behalf of MySmartPrice, some images based on factory CADs (computer-aided designs). While admitting that they might not be completely accurate, so far they represent the best we got.

Apparently showing the iPad Pro 12.9 which is due this year, these images showcase a product with smaller bezels around the screen, much smaller than any currently available iPad. This also means that the fingerprint scanner and the home button might have been completely removed. This sort of confirms previous rumors that you will be using FaceID to authenticate and unlock this device.

You should also note that there is no notch present because the bezels are still big enough to provide room for cameras. Other important details are the metal back which has antenna strips along the bottom and the top of the device and the single-lens camera present on the rear.

Apparently, the Smart Connector has been moved to the bottom of the back (if you hold the device in portrait). Both volume keys are present on the right edge which also houses some sort of mystery port or button. No, it is not the power button, as it is placed on the top edge, sharing space with two speaker grilles.

The charging port and two more speaker grilles can be found on the bottom edge and it is with great sadness that we report no visuals of a 3.5 mm headphone port. All must be taken with a grain of salt for now but maybe on Apple’s event on September 12 we might get an actual good look.
