When will the new iPad be released? New gorgeous iPad Pro is out! What will change in the design of the fresh Apple tablet

iPad Pro 2018 - expensive but cool.

On October 30, 2018, Apple officially unveiled the 2018 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, which are Apple's most powerfully updated tablets of all time. The novelties received record-breaking thin cases, minimal bezels around the display perimeter, Face ID support, fast processor A12X Bionic, 1TB maximum storage and many other features. We talked about the new iPad Pro 2018 in detail.

The 11-inch iPad Pro is a direct successor to last year's 10.5-inch iPad Pro, in which Apple for the first time greatly reduced the side bezels. The tablets are almost identical in size, but due to even thinner bezels around the entire perimeter of the display, the 11-inch iPad Pro 2018 has a larger screen. The display resolution of the new iPad Pro is 2388×1688 pixels.

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro, on the other hand, retains the display size of its predecessors but is noticeably smaller. Display resolution 12.9-inch iPad versions Pro 2018 equals 2732x2048 pixels. Both tablets have a Liquid Retina display, the same type as the iPhone XR. Apple calls this display the most technologically advanced among all LCD displays in mobile devices.

Dimensions 11-inch iPad Pro 2018 - 247.6 × 178.5 × 5.9 mm, weight - 468 g Dimensions 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2018 - 280.6 × 214.9 × 5.9 mm, weight - 631 g. Both tablets have a record low thickness, which should have a positive effect on usability.

The new iPad Pros have lost not only the thick bottom bezel of the display, but also the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which in previous models is built under the button. The loss of Touch ID will not affect the security of the iPad Pro 2018, as the tablets support the Face ID facial recognition feature. It is implemented thanks to the TrueDepth camera system, which is located in a rather unusual way - on the side frame. Most importantly, Face ID on the new iPad Pro works in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The new iPad Pro 2018 is powered by the ultra-fast A12X Bionic octa-core processor. It's the most powerful mobile chip Apple has ever made. Even in iPhone flagships XS and iPhone XS Max have a slower processor - A12 Bionic, without the "X" prefix. The difference between the chips is impressive - more than 35% in pure performance.

The storage capacity of the new iPad Pro 2018 is 64GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1024GB. Apple is the first to create a tablet with a maximum storage capacity of 1TB. True, it is immediately worth noting that the cost of versions of tablets with 1 TB of memory is much higher than that of other models.

The battery capacity of the 11-inch iPad Pro is 29.37 Wh, the 12.9-inch battery is 36.71 Wh. Both tablets work for a standard 10 hours of surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi or watching videos. Both tablets support fast charging, and they come with a powerful 18W charging adapter. You don't have to buy any accessories.

Here it should be noted one more important feature iPad Pro 2018 - USB-C connector. Apple for the first time abandoned the Lightning connector in tablets and transferred them to more universal USB-C. Due to this, for example, a monitor with a resolution of 5K can be connected to the iPad Pro 2018! Or right at iPad help Pro can charge iPhone.

The main camera of the iPad Pro 2018 has a resolution of 12 megapixels and f / 1.8 aperture. The camera allows you to create extremely high-quality photos, including Smart HDR mode, which was previously exclusive to the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. The camera in the new iPad Pro sticks out of the case very slightly, and this is provided that the tablet cases have become noticeably thinner.

The tablets have a TrueDepth front camera system with a resolution of the main module of 7 megapixels and f/2.2 aperture. The front camera also supports Smart HDR mode.

Special attention in the new iPad Pro 2018 is paid to sound. Tablets have four stereo speakers and five microphones for calls, video and audio recording.

iPad Pro 2018 release date

Already at the end of this month, namely on October 30, a presentation of Apple is to be held in the United States of America. This is the second event of the apple corporation, which takes place this fall. Rumor has it that on this day the manufacturer will show us new Macs mini, Macbook Air and the updated iPad Pro 2018 family of tablets. It is the Cupertino tablets that will be discussed today.

What will be the new iPad Pro 2018

Based on insider data, one can judge about technical specifications new generation of flagship devices. As it was not difficult to guess, the main innovation of this year will be a frameless screen. To implement this now fashionable technology, manufacturers had to abandon the Home button under the screen. Now the tablets will be fully controlled with gestures, and face unlocking using FaceID, which is already implemented in the company's smartphones. Also, indirect confirmation of this information can be photos of expected new products leaked to the network.

Thanks to the frameless design, the devices will not only look stylish, but also become more compact. Dimensions iPad 10.5 from 250.6x174.1x6.1 mm will be reduced to 247.5x178.7x6 mm, and the 12.9-inch tablet will decrease from 305.7x220.6x6.9 mm to 280x215x6.4 mm. These will be the most thin tablets throughout the history of the company.

Also, new tablets will receive a more advanced user face recognition system. The new built-in sensor will allow you to perform face identification from any position of the tablet, even horizontal or vertical.

Another quite predictable, but not the most pleasant innovation is the complete rejection of the 3.5 mm audio jack. It should also be the company's first tablet to replace the Lightning connector with a USB-C port. It is expected that the new flagships will receive the most powerful processor of Apple's entire line of chipsets is the A12 Bionic, which made its debut in the recently introduced iPhone XS and XS Max. Today it is the most powerful processor for portable devices, which is seriously superior to Snapdragon 845 and Kirin 780.

A new Magnetic Connector will appear on the back of the tablet. This interface is useful in order to connect an external smart keyboard Keyboard and other accessories with peripherals. Also, the manufacturer should update the Apple Pencil stylus, which is specially sharpened for the flagship line of tablets.

Release date and price of iPad Pro 2018

Apple always opens pre-orders for its new devices as soon as their presentation ends. We know when the iPad Pro 2018 will be released - October 30, which means that pre-orders will be open on that day. But the problem is that Russia may simply not get into the first wave of sales of new products, alas, this happens quite often. This probability should be taken into account, but experts predict that in Russia it will be possible to buy new tablets in 2-3 weeks after their official presentation

As for the cost of flagship tablet PCs, it will become known only at the presentation itself. So, to get accurate information, you will have to wait until October 30th. But according to preliminary information, new items will keep the price of the previous one. iPad generations Pro, which, in turn, will become cheaper. Among the models released in 2017, the most affordable modification is the iPad Pro 10.5-inch with a 64 GB drive, the price of which is now 46,990 rubles. The most expensive tablet with a 12.9-inch screen and 512 GB flash memory costs 86,990 rubles. But do not underestimate the thirst for profit of our retailers, who in the first months after the announcement of new products can set unreasonably high prices for them.

Update: official date iPad Pro 2018 launch on October 30, per Apple's "Special Event" press invitation. Moreover, there is increasing evidence that new tablet will get a USB-C port, and we also got some interesting ideas about the dimensions.

iPad Pro 3 is the next big Apple 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 is set to showcase thin bezel screens in two sizes, and leaks also suggest it will use the iPhone X's True Depth technology for Face ID.

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

Apple intends to make the iPad Pro series a "laptop replacement" 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.

Whether it's the iPad Pro 2018 or the iPad Pro 3, the new tablet will almost certainly remain expensive and still not a laptop replacement for absolutely everyone, no matter how hard Apple tries to convince us.

Will it become new iPad Pro? It 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 formed the closest guesses as to price, release date, and various specs/features.

In pursuit!

• What's this? next flagship iPad tablet;
• When to expect? Tuesday, October 30, 17:00 (MSK);
• What is the price? Probably not less than $649 (39,000 rubles);

| iPadPRO 3 (2018): RELEASE DATE AND PRICES

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

This is not surprising as we expected the tablet to be released soon, not least because the new iPad Pro has been listed on the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission), indicating that the device will be released soon.

We don't know when the tablets will go on sale yet, but whenever iPad Pro series tablets come out, they are subject to tax. high price. The iPad Pro 10.5 (the latest in the series) started at $649 (R42,000), so we think 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;
• No home button and headphone port;
• The thinnest tabletApple;

One of the most recent iPad Pro 2018 leaks comes from a source that has provided correct data regarding Apple in the past and now claims that the upcoming tablet will be just 5.9mm thin and lose the headphone port.

Also, we've currently seen a render purporting to showcase a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3, you can check it out below.

Details include thin bezels and the absence of a home button or fingerprint reader, so Face ID is a must-have. But the bezels in the render are still quite large to eliminate the need for a notch.

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

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

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

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

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

| iPadPRO 3 (2018): DISPLAY

• 12.9" and 10.5" models;
• 10.5-inch model can be replaced by 11-inch;

While the range of the iPhone is now highly classified, the 2018 iPad Pro continues to be littered with leaks, with the edge-to-edge screen taking center stage.

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, leaving an empty space in the middle.

If Apple goes for 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 size of the case. This comes as a surprise to the sometimes bulky iPad Pro 12.9, and based on the information we've heard so far, shrinking the body of the 12.9-inch tablet is exactly what Apple did.

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

However, since Apple has 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 have a True Tone display with a 120Hz refresh rate, just like its predecessor.

| iPadPRO 3: CAMERA AND BATTERY

• Front-cameraTrueDepth;
• Better bokeh effect;

We don't expect big changes in the camera department. Apple continues to stick to the combination of 12MP and 7MP on the back and front, 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 the Face ID rumors are true, the tablet will likely get front camera with True Depth, much more like iPhone camera XS. It's still a 7-megapixel sensor, but with additional depth-sensing skills, making it a great solution for portrait mode (blurring the background).

In a relationship iPad battery Pro (2018) no news yet, but we'll be sure to include them in the article as soon as we know anything.

| iPadPRO 3: OS AND PERFORMANCE

• Tablet chipsetA12Bionic;
• Operating system -iOS 12;

A source in the supply chain claims that the iPad Pro 3 will use the new A11X Bionic chipset with an 8-core processor. Given that iPhone smartphones XS is now running on A12 Bionic chipsets, this seems unlikely.

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

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

| iPadPRO 3: OTHER FEATURES

• faceID;
• Four speakers;
• USBC;

You probably won't hear Apple officially calling the upcoming tablet "Modern iPad", but that's the name that was found in the iOS 11.3 code.

"Modern iPad" doesn't sound like much, but the phrase "Modern iPhone" was used before the iPhone X was released. The speculation is that the term might imply unusual innovations such as Face ID and the lack of bezels around the display.

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

In fact, the tablet's Face ID setup interface was found in 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 the iPad will use the same image signal processor as the iPhone XS and will work in both portrait and landscape orientations.

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

In addition, the 2018 iPad Pro is likely to get a new version of the magnetic connector for connecting accessories such as Apple's new Smart Keyboard.

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

Other existing features such as four speakers and the Smart Connector (each of which has been found in leaked images) will return again.

| WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE?

Great, since 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 with the iPad Pro 3.

WATER RESISTANCE

Apple has added water protection to its smartphones, but this option has not yet made its way to the company's tablets and, although it is less needed for tablets that are quite large, to fall into a mug and you will not use them in the rain.

But drinks are still spilling, people continue to use tablets while cooking or in the pool, so knowing that the iPad Pro 3 can survive water would be reassuring, especially given its price.

PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE

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

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

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

PRICE DROP?

The iPad Pro is an expensive tablet, no matter what size you choose. Considering the amount of tech packed in, the value for money isn't the worst, but it can be hard to justify the cost, especially when there are cheaper tablets out there, considering it's not complete replacement laptop.

As such, we'd like to see a price drop with the new iPad Pro 3, or at least (and most likely) previous prices, along with increased storage and new features.

SHARP OLED DISPLAY

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

But on tablets, laptops, and phones, screens tend to be sharper, so we'd like Apple to raise the resolution, especially since the iPad is shaping up 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 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, hence the possibility for the screen to grow in the same body size. These are all useful features that we would like to see with the iPad Pro 3.

BEST LIFE

iPad Pro 2 tablets don't suffer from bad timing battery life while you're using it primarily as a media device, but if you're planning on using it as a laptop, expecting anything more than 6-7 hours is overkill.

That's still not bad, but an extra two hours would really help, so whether it's a bigger battery or better components and software, we'd like Apple to add battery life to the iPad Pro 3.

NEW DESIGN

The iPad Pro is thin, light and stylish, but it's more like a tablet Apple latest years, so we'd like a complete overhaul of the iPad Pro 3. Something new and exciting that might entice those who use older models and crave an upgrade.

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, we think it's up to the task at hand.

The new iPad Pro tablet was officially presented at Apple's presentation on October 30th. The tablet turned out an exact copy models from the iOS 12.1 code, received support for face recognition technology, which turned out to be even more advanced than in flagship iPhones, a USB-C connector and a second-generation Apple Pencil smart pen 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. A stunning 11" and 12.9" IPS panel with vanishing bezels is a true admiration for Apple's engineers. But the main thing is that they managed to make the display absolutely symmetrical, despite the TrueDepth system responsible for face recognition.

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

Yesterday, a lot of good things were said about such a device as the iPad. After all, his birthday is January 27th. It was on this day 10 years ago that he showed the world “ big iPhone”, which many perceived ambiguously, but only Steve knew that in just a couple of years this device would once again change everything and create an entire industry. It itself, of course, will become the locomotive of this industry, and how Xerox will become a household name. Even tablets, many out of habit will call the iPad. Last Apple time assures us that her tablets are changing the lives of creative people. But is it really so?

Apple history buffs often debate which date is the birthday of one of the best products Apple has ever made, the iPad. Many people remember the date when the legendary tablet went on sale (April 3, 2010), but for the first time it saw the light much earlier - January 27, 2010, that is, exactly 10 years ago. Steve Jobs took the stage and the world just froze. began to be used in healthcare, artists, public figures, and on December 9, 2010, the iPad became .

Succession is one of key features Apple products. Therefore, even if you put several devices nearby different manufacturers and, by painting over the logos, suggest to an ignorant person to determine which ones belong to Apple, most likely, he will do this without any problems. And the point here is not only in appearance, although this is important, but also in software, and even in the technologies used, which often overlap with both mobile and professional equipment. As, for example, in the case of the keyboard "scissors".

Programmers often prefer to use a MacBook for work. Apple laptops have a Bash console and are similar to Linux, while offering a smooth and pleasant interface that Linux (even Ubuntu 19.10) still cannot give us. However, is the MacBook the only option? Maybe it's possible to program on the iPad? In this article, we will look at how you can use a programmer as a machine for work.

You probably know about the nomination “person of the year according to TIME magazine”. Who was not that person - even you. In 2006, "You". Do not flatter yourself, according to the same TIME, this is not an honor or a sign of approval. Recognition of significance, nothing more. In one of the December issues of TIME, ten of the most significant gadgets of the outgoing decade are named, which, by the way, is called “the decade of the iPhone”.

Undercover data, backed up by proprietary analytics from the main think tanks of civilization, painted a clear and distinct picture in our imagination: in March, Apple will present many, many things, including

The main trump card of the new model is a relatively affordable price. In Russia iPad Retina 2017 will cost from 24,890 rubles for a model with 32 gigabytes of memory and Wi-Fi module. The upper price bar of 41,890 rubles is set for a model with a cellular module and 128 gigabytes of memory.

The nearest alternative among the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will cost almost 45 thousand (32 GB, Wi-Fi). iPad Model mini 4 with a cellular module and 128 gigabytes of memory will cost 2 thousand rubles cheaper than the iPad Retina 2017 with the same characteristics, but when choosing compact tablet the user will get a less powerful processor and a smaller screen.

Of course, for such attractive price the tablet has lost a number of technologies used in the iPad Pro. However, it is possible that such a device - quite powerful, but simplified in terms of details - will take root as a tablet for the workplace or family use. Just like the iPhone SE, the new iPad Retina 2017 combines the components and features of different generations of the tablet - let's figure out how.
