When will the new iPad come out? The new gorgeous iPad Pro is out! New iPad Pro concepts

Tablets Apple The iPad Pro series has really managed to be a great replacement for the Air series. New iPad models Pro 2 should be improved, as is usually the case with the Cupertino team. Available tablets offer pen support Apple Pencil, an excellent system of 4 built-in speakers and more, but there are still some things we are really missing. For example, it would be nice to have a fingerprint scanner and a waterproof case.

Upcoming series iPad devices Pro 2 will obviously receive a more powerful A10X Fusion processor with four cores, but it is unknown whether the manufacturer will increase the amount of RAM. We hope the new iPad Pro 2 specs will include 4GB RAM. In addition to the 9.7 and 12.9-inch models, the Cupertino team can introduce a third model with a 10.5-inch screen diagonal. All of them will work out of the box on the basis of the operating system iOS systems 10.

• Apple A10X Fusion processor (10nm)
• 12 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel front camera
• 4K video recording, live photos
• OLED screen with True Tone technology
• 32 GB of internal memory in the minimum configuration
• New color - pink
• Fingerprint scanner (in-display)

Earlier rumors said that future devices would get a touch-sensitive Home button, like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but now many experts are confident that Apple will abandon it altogether. So the fingerprint scanner finger touch The ID will be built into the display. Moreover, there is a possibility that the company will also get rid of the 3.5 mm audio jack, which would be logical given the recent release of smartphones.

Most likely, the iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a connector USB Type-C so that it can be connected to MacBook Pro 2016.

Considering the fact that the original iPad Pro was announced in March current year, its successor will be shown during the same time period in 2017. There is no exact data because in such cases companies like Apple do not give early statements. We also can't be sure that all three models will be announced at the same presentation.

It is easy to predict the cost of the next generation of tablets from the American company. The price of the iPad Pro 2 in the simplest configuration will not exceed 50 thousand rubles. The current iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and 32 GB of internal memory costs about the same. Obviously, the new 10.5-inch model will fill a fairly large gap between the other two devices, and its price will also be average.

Apple hasn't updated its tablets for a long time, which means an update to some iPad models is coming. And today, we will talk about one of them - iPad Pro 2. Will the second version of iPad Pro come out with a 12.9-inch screen? And what will the updated tablet be like? Let's figure it out now.

Overall, the current iPad Pro 12.9″ is not bad in terms of performance and other features that Apple has equipped it with. This is not to say that the first version of the professional iPad is already outdated, because it contains the best mobile hardware in the industry! The tablet can handle any load with a bang! And all thanks to the powerful A9X quad-core processor with 64-bit architecture. Those. In general, we can say that the first iPad Pro 12.9″ is still good and there is no need to change it, but this does not mean that Apple thinks so. Let's look at what the iPad Pro 2 will be like and when it will be released.

First of all, I want to note that the iPad Pro 2 will receive fresh and up-to-date, more productive hardware, an updated display and an improved camera. It is not yet known what features Apple will give the iPad Pro 2.

Display

In every new iPad, Apple puts new display, which is always brighter and more contrasting than its predecessor. Take even as an example. It features a new display that's brighter and more contrasty than the iPhone 6S's display, which previously seemed better display There can be no more iPhone 6S. The same is true for the iPad Pro 2 - it will receive an updated Retina display with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels (264 ppi) with True Tone technology, which adjusts the display temperature to the ambient light. Brightness and contrast will increase. Also, the iPad Pro 2 display will be covered with an oleophobic coating, which prevents fingerprints from appearing.

Performance

iPad Pro 2 will most likely be equipped with a new quad-core A10X processor with a 64-bit architecture made using a 10nm process technology. Also, the A10X will be accompanied by an M10 coprocessor. In addition to the processor, the iPad Pro 2 can get as much as 6 GB of RAM! Let me remind you that the first version costs 4 GB. The iPad Pro 2 will have 32, 128 and 256 GB of memory depending on the model. Apple doesn't like to frequently increase the amount of permanent memory in new devices, so the iPad Pro 2 will remain the same.

Camera

iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a 6-lens iSight 12 MP camera with autofocus and Focus Pixels technology. The aperture will change from ƒ/2.2 to ƒ/2.0, allowing for better photography in low-light conditions. The iPad Pro 2 camera will also feature improved noise reduction technology and optical stabilization images. True Tone flash - 4 LEDs.

It will be possible to record video in 4K format (3840x2160 pixels) at 30 fps, Full-HD - 1080p at 30 or 60 fps and HD - 720p at 30 fps. Supports slow-motion video recording at 1080p resolution at 120 fps or at 720p resolution at 240 fps.

The FaceTime camera in the iPad Pro 2 will have the same 5 MP, ƒ/2.0 aperture, video recording with a resolution of 1080p and a Retina Flash, which works by instantly flashing at maximum display brightness.

Power and battery

iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a more capacious lithium-polymer battery, which will provide the tablet with up to 12 hours of Internet browsing. Wi-Fi networks and playing video or music. iPad Pro 2 will last 2 hours longer than the first model. This iPhone feature 7, which Apple claims should last longer than the iPhone 6S. Most likely, this technique will be taken into account in the production of the iPad Pro 2.

Home button

Perhaps the iPad Pro 2 will be equipped with a new non-mechanical Home button, like in . She reads touches and perceives gestures. The second generation Taptic Engine vibration motor is responsible for the response. The third generation Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be built into the button itself.

When will the iPad Pro 2 be released?

The previous version was released on September 9, 2015 and a year has already passed. At the September 2016 presentation, we did not see the second version of the professional iPad, which means Apple is in no hurry to update this device so quickly. This is correct, because iPad specifications Pro is still good, it calmly copes with any tasks assigned to it. Therefore, most likely, at least two years will pass before Apple needs to update the iPad Pro. This means that most likely the iPad Pro 2 release date is September 2017.

How much will the iPad Pro 2 cost?

In the US, the price of iPad Pro 2 will be the same as the first model:

• iPad Pro 2 32 GB Wi-Fi - $799
• iPad Pro 2 128 GB Wi-Fi - $949
• iPad Pro 2 128 GB Wi-Fi + Cellular - $1,079

And the iPad Pro 1 will become cheaper. For 100 or 200 dollars.

The price of iPad Pro 2 in Ukraine will start from 26,000 UAH for the younger model with 32 GB of memory and reach up to 37,000 UAH for the model with 256 GB of memory and 4G network. In Russia, prices for iPad Pro 2 will range from 60,000 rubles to 90,000 rubles.

This is all that is known about the future iPad Pro 2. You can follow the news and rumors. Write in the comments what you would like to see in the new iPad versions Pro.

Update: The official launch date for the 2018 iPad Pro is October 30, according to the Apple "Special Event" press invite. Moreover, there is growing evidence that new tablet will have a USB-C port, and we also got some interesting ideas about the sizes.

The iPad Pro 3 is Apple's next big update, and now the company has all but confirmed that we'll see the tablet on October 30th by sending out invitations to an event on that date.

The new iPad Pro should show off thin-panel screens in two sizes; leaks also suggest it will use iPhone technology X True Depth for Face ID.

Of course, at the beginning of the year we saw a new entry level with solutions aimed at the educational segment, but if you are looking for a more powerful tablet to replace the current one, you will soon get it.

Apple intends to make the iPad Pro series "laptop replacements" for as many users as possible, treating its Pro series tablets as if they were touchscreen MacBooks. With iOS 11 (and now iOS 12) and accompanying tablet-focused software, Apple is getting closer to that vision.

Regardless of the name, be it iPad Pro 2018 or iPad Pro 3, the new tablet will almost certainly remain expensive, and still won't be a laptop replacement for everyone, no matter how hard Apple tries to convince us of it.

Will there be a new iPad Pro? Seems like this could be an interesting change of concept. Here are the details we've gathered from all this time of leaks, rumors and speculation. We've also made our best guesses regarding price, release date, and various specifications/features.

Let's go!

• What is this? Next flagship iPad tablet;
• When should we expect it? Tuesday, October 30, 17:00 (Moscow time);
• What is the price? Probably no less than $649 (39,000 rubles);

| iPadPRO 3 (2018): RELEASE DATE AND PRICES

The iPad Pro 3 launches on October 30th, as Apple has already sent out invitations to a special event on that date.

This is not surprising as we were expecting the tablet to be released soon, not least because the new iPad Pro was spotted by the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission), indicating an imminent release of the device.

We don't know the launch date for the tablets yet, but whenever the iPad Pro series tablets come out, they come with a hefty price tag. The iPad Pro 10.5 (the last in the series) launched with a price tag of $649 (R42,000), so we believe Apple will stick to similar pricing with the 9.7-inch models, the cheapest in the series.

| iPadPRO 3: DESIGN

• Tiny panels around the screen;
• There's no home button or headphone port;
• The thinnest tabletApple;

One of the most recent iPad Pro 2018 leaks comes from a source that has been correct on Apple in the past and now claims that the upcoming tablet will be just 5.9mm thick and will lack a headphone port.

Additionally, we've currently seen a render purporting to show off the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3, which you'll be able to see below.

Details include thin bezels and no home button or fingerprint scanner, so Face ID will be included. But the bezels in the render are still large enough to eliminate the need for a notch.

We still get a metal back panel, four speaker grilles and a single camera on the back, but something has changed - the Smart Connector has moved to bottom part(when the tablet is in portrait mode), there appears to be no more 3.5mm headphone jack (which is consistent with rumors), and there is an unidentified button on the right edge.

The source adds that it appears that the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) will come with dimensions of 280.6 x 215 x 5.8 mm (or 7.77 mm considering the camera bump on the back), making it smaller than the iPad Pro 12.9 (2017). The thickness is also in line with anecdotal rumors, so we're really looking forward to a very thin tablet.

We again got the same numbers from another source, which added that the iPad Pro 10.5 (2018) will measure 247.64 x 178.5 mm, making the new tablet smaller than its predecessor.

Another render has surfaced, this time showing the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) in a case from UAG, you can see it below.

The details - including the thin bezels and Face ID sensor - are consistent with the materials above. However, the fact that the tablet is in a case suggests it could be out very soon, as the case maker likely won't release a product or render until the device is ready.

| iPadPRO 3 (2018): DISPLAY

• Models with a diagonal of 12.9 and 10.5 inches;
• The 10.5-inch model can be replaced by an 11-inch one;

While the iPhone range is now highly classified, the 2018 iPad Pro continues to be bombarded with leaks, with the edge-to-edge screen prominently featured.

Then again, it's still possible that Apple will put a notch on the tablet's display, especially since iOS 12 moves part of the status bar to the left edge, leaving empty space in the middle.

If Apple goes with an edge-to-edge screen design, the new iPads will be able to increase the display area, or keep the screen sizes to reduce the body size. This will come as a surprise to the sometimes bulky iPad Pro 12.9, and based on the information we've heard so far, shrinking the 12.9-inch tablet's body is exactly what Apple has done.

For the smaller 10.5-inch iPad, on the other hand, new design could mean a slight increase in size as we have seen a report claiming that it will get an 11-inch display.

However, since Apple just introduced a new size with the 10.5-inch model, we're not sure about further changes. We also expect the iPad Pro 3 to feature a True Tone display with a 120Hz refresh rate, just like its predecessor.

| iPadPRO 3: CAMERA AND BATTERY

• Front cameraTrueDepth;
• Best bokeh effect;

We don't expect big changes in the camera department. Apple continues to stick with the combination of 12 MP and 7 MP on the back and front panels, respectively, adopting iPhone sensors 8, which is a serious overkill for a tablet, so it should continue to serve well for at least another year.

However, if rumors regarding Face ID are true, the tablet will likely receive front camera with True Depth, much more similar to iPhone camera XS. It's still a 7-megapixel sensor, but with additional depth-sensing skills, making it a great solution for portrait mode (background blur).

There is no news regarding the iPad Pro (2018) battery yet, but we will be sure to include it in the article as soon as we know something.

| iPadPRO 3: OS AND PERFORMANCE

• Tablet chipsetA12Bionic;
• Operating system -iOS 12;

A supply chain source claims that the iPad Pro 3 will use the new A11X Bionic chipset with an 8-core processor. Considering that iPhone smartphones XS are now powered by A12 Bionic chipsets, this seems unlikely.

Most likely, the 2018 iPad Pro will use either the A12 Bionic or something newer and better chipset that hasn't been announced yet - perhaps the A12X Bionic or A13.

Of course, the iPad Pro 3 will also definitely roll out iOS 12, which is available now. This will bring gesture controls to the tablet, as well as adding Siri shortcuts, group notifications, improvements in the augmented reality department, and more.

| iPadPRO 3: OTHER FEATURES

• FaceID;
• Four speakers;
• USBC;

You're unlikely to hear Apple officially call the upcoming tablet the "Modern iPad," but that's the name found in the iOS 11.3 code.

"Modern iPad" doesn't sound like much, but the phrase "Modern iPhone" was used before iPhone release X. The assumption is that this term may promise unusual innovations such as Face ID and the absence of bezels around the display.

Indeed, the idea is that the new iPad Pro 2018 will allow users to unlock the device by simply looking at the tablet, without using their hands - a rumor we've heard more than once.

In fact, the tablet's Face ID setup interface was found in the iOS 12 beta for iPad. In the same beta we also found multi-user support for Face ID, a feature that will be much more useful on a tablet than on a phone.

We've also heard that Face ID on iPad will use the same image signal processor as the iPhone XS and will work in portrait and landscape orientations.

The same source claims that the iPad Pro 3 will be able to output 4K HDR to an external display using USB-C port, which is also rumored to be included in the tablet.

Additionally, the 2018 iPad Pro will likely feature a new version of the magnetic connector for connecting accessories such as new Smart Keyboard from Apple.

And new Apple version The Pencil will apparently land alongside the iPad Pro 3.

Other existing features such as quad speakers and Smart Connector (each of which were found in leaked images) will return once again.

| WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE?

Excellent, since the current iPad Pro models remain very expensive, although they lack some key functions or characteristics of competitors. With that in mind, here's a list of the things we're most looking forward to from the iPad Pro 3.

WATER RESISTANCE

Apple has added water resistance to its smartphones, but this option has not yet reached the company's tablets and, although it is less necessary for tablets that are quite large, you would not use them in the rain.

But drinks are still spilled, and people still use tablets while cooking or at the pool, so knowing that the iPad Pro 3 can survive water would be reassuring, especially considering its price.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Apple has been consistently improving the performance potential of the iPad Pro, but it still can't match a laptop in most cases.

iOS simply isn't a versatile enough solution even with , and accessories like the Smart Keyboard tend to be overpriced, adding up to a mediocre experience. much better suited for the job.

Moreover, lowering the price of accessories could help the tablet, along with further changes to iOS, which should be closer to desktop operating system. Full software, capable of offering desktop quality, such as with Photoshop, would also help. To some extent, this is beyond Apple's capabilities, but the company can strike a deal with developers or simply make the platform more attractive to them.

PRICE REDUCTION?

The iPad Pro is an expensive tablet, and there's no getting around it, no matter what size you choose. Considering the amount of technology packed in, the value for money isn't bad, but it can be difficult to justify the cost, especially when there are cheaper tablets available, given that it's not a full laptop replacement.

So we'd like to see a price drop with the new iPad Pro 3, or at least (and most likely) the previous prices, along with an increase in memory and new features.

SHARP OLED DISPLAY

The 10.5- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 has a screen with a pixel density of 265 pixels per inch, which is quite good, while the overall screen quality is high.

But screens can be sharper on tablets, laptops and phones, so we'd like to see Apple bump up the resolution, especially since the iPad promises to be a prime candidate for 4K content.

And along with the new resolution, we would like to see new technology display, namely OLED. Apple has already used OLED panels for the iPhone X, so it's possible that the iPad Pro 3 could benefit.

FACE SCAN

Apple debuted Face ID on the iPhone X, allowing you to simply look at the phone to unlock it. This means that there is no longer a Home button, therefore opening up the possibility for a larger screen in the same body size. All this useful features, which we'd like to see with the iPad Pro 3.

BEST BATTERY LIFE

iPad Pro 2 tablets do not suffer from bad timing battery life, for now you use it mainly as a media device, but if you plan to use it as a laptop, counting on anything more than 6-7 hours is unnecessary.

It's still not bad, but an extra two hours would really help, so whether big battery or more efficient components and software, we wish Apple would add battery life iPad operation Pro 3.

NEW DESIGN

The iPad Pro has a thin, light and stylish design, but it's more in line with the design of Apple's tablets of recent years, so we'd like a complete overhaul of the iPad Pro 3. Something new and exciting that might tempt those who use older models and covet updates.

It could be glass back panel, a huge screen, no bezels, or anything new at all. But if there's one thing Apple is great at, it's design, and we think it all depends on the task at hand.

Large tablet Apple is waiting for an update.

Update: The 10.5-inch iPad Pro 2 could be entering production, which could mean we won't see it until April. Read on to find out everything we know about new iPads Pro 2.

Apple launched its most in September last year. came with a huge 12.9-inch screen, support Apple stylus Pencil, as well as with powerful processor, it was a significant change in the iPad series.

We appreciated the tablet, giving it 9 points in our full review, praising the tablet for its impressive front-facing speakers and large display, among other features.

In fact, we've heard talk about exactly how the Apple Pencil will change with new version tablet, they say it will come with a magnet so you can attach the stylus to the tablet.

Additionally, you might want to look at the iPhone 7 for other likely features, including a home button that is pressure sensitive, capable of vibrating instead of physically clicking, and doing different things depending on how hard you press the button .

The new iPad Pro tablet was officially unveiled at Apple presentations October 30. The tablet turned out to be an exact copy models from the iOS 12.1 code, received support for facial recognition technology, which turned out to be even more advanced than in the flagship iPhone, a USB-C connector and a smart second-generation Apple Pencil with gesture support.

The main feature of the iPad Pro that catches your eye when you first look at the tablet is, of course, its display. The stunning IPS panel with a diagonal of 11 and 12.9 inches and borders that tend to disappear evokes true admiration for the abilities of Apple engineers. But the main thing is that they managed to make the display absolutely symmetrical, despite the TrueDepth system, which is responsible for facial recognition.

The heart of the tablet is the eight-core A12X Bionic processor. It is 90% faster than previous generation, which allows it to be considered one of the most productive “stones” for personal computers.

You probably know about the nomination “Person of the Year according to TIME magazine”. Who wasn’t this person – even you. In 2006, “You”. Make no mistake, according to TIME, this is not an honor or a sign of approval. Recognition of significance, nothing more. One of the December issues of TIME names the ten most significant gadgets of the outgoing decade, which, by the way, is called the “decade of the iPhone.”

Agent data, supported by proprietary analytics of the main think tanks of civilization, painted a clear and distinct picture in our imagination: in March, Apple will present many, many things, including a three-dimensional spatial orientation system and an Apple A13X inside. Now the same centers are promising this iPad Pro in the fall, with Apple A14X and mini-LED. Perhaps we expect too much from 2020. It will be only one day longer than the current one. But the number that represents it is round and symmetrical. And yet, many consider it the beginning of a new decade - they sum up the results of the outgoing one and try to guess something in the coming one.

In my opinion, this is the best compliment ever paid to anyone. The media consider this tablet an example of blatant and unscrupulous copying, but they copy either what they themselves are crazy about, or what millions of people hopelessly dream about. Or both – at the same time.

Due to the original and stylish design last generations tablets, many users seem to have forgotten about the existence of cases (and they can be understood, the new iPad Pro is really very good). These are just the cases when apple tablet being damaged due to a fall is far from uncommon, and it’s one thing if this happened to the old iPad, but what if the trouble happened to the new 11-inch iPad Pro?

Although many people do not carry an iPad with them all the time, like, for example, the same iPhone, tablets are still often damaged, mainly due to falling. After all, in order for the device to fall from the sofa to the floor, you don’t need to go anywhere. As a result, the slightest carelessness leads to damage. iPad screen, and their nature is often such that it becomes impossible to comfortably use the tablet (or even dangerous, because it’s easy to get hurt by glass shards). There is nothing to think about here - you need to change the display.

Authoritative insider Ming-Chi Kuo, known for his accurate predictions related to Apple technology, has again published another insight regarding future devices from . This time the post primarily concerned the new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, but, as Kuo noted, in the future the technology discussed may appear in other Apple devices. The analyst said that the new tablets and laptops of the Pro line, which Apple engineers are currently working on, will receive displays made using mini-LED technology.
