When released iPad Pro 2? Review and release date

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 This is not to say that the first version of the professional iPad is already outdated, because it contains the best mobile hardware in the industry!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

With every new iPad, Apple puts a new display that is always brighter and more contrasty than its predecessor. Take even as an example. It features a new display that's brighter and more contrasty than the iPhone 6S's, which previously seemed better display There can be no more iPhone 6S. The same goes for the iPad Pro 2 - it will receive an update 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 random access memory! 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 increase volume often 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 image stabilization. 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 is a feature of the iPhone 7, which, according to Apple, 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.

iPad Pro 2 Specifications

RAM: 6 GB
Own memory: 32, 128, 256 GB
Camera: 12 MP, 6 lenses, f/2.0 4K video recording

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 the characteristics of the iPad Pro are 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 version of iPad Pro.

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

Preliminary specifications of iPad Pro 2

The upcoming iPad Pro 2 series will apparently feature 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 of RAM. In addition to the 9.7 and 12.9-inch models, Cupertino can introduce a third model with a 10.5-inch screen diagonal. All of them will work out of the box on the base operating system iOS 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 receive 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. Thus, the Touch ID fingerprint scanner 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.

iPad Pro 2 release date

Given the fact that the original iPad Pro was announced in March of this year, its successor will be shown at the same time 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.

iPad Pro 2 price in Russia

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.

Already at the end of this month, namely on October 30, a presentation of Apple is scheduled to take place in the United States of America. This is the second event of the apple corporation, which is taking place this fall. Rumor has it that on this day the manufacturer will show us new Macs Mini, MacBook Air and updated family iPad tablets Pro 2018. It’s the Cupertino tablets that we’ll be talking about today.

What will the new iPad Pro 2018 be like?

Based on insider data, we can judge 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 using gestures, and unlocking is carried out by face using FaceID, which is already implemented in the company’s smartphones. Also, indirect confirmation of this information can be photographs of the expected new products leaked online.

Thanks to the frameless design, the devices will not only look stylish, but will also become more compact. The dimensions of the iPad 10.5 from 250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1 mm will be reduced to 247.5 x 178.7 x 6 mm, and the 12.9-inch tablet will be reduced from 305.7 x 220.6 x 6.9 mm to 280 x 215 x 6.4 mm. These will be the thinnest tablets in the company's history.

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

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

A new Magnetic Connector will appear on the back of the tablet. This interface is useful for connecting an external Smart Keyboard and other accessories with peripheral devices to the tablet. The manufacturer should also update the Apple Pencil stylus, which is specially designed for the flagship line of tablets.

iPad Pro 2018 release date and price

Apple always opens pre-orders for its new devices immediately after their presentation ends. We know when the iPad Pro 2018 will be released - October 30, which means pre-orders will be open on this 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 possibility is worth taking into account, but experts predict that in Russia it will be possible to buy new tablets within 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, the new items will retain the price of the previous one iPad generation Pro, which, in turn, will become cheaper. Among the models released in 2017, the most affordable modification is the iPad Pro 10.5 inches 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.

Apple says this is the most significant update since first iPad The new tablets come in two sizes: an 11-inch version and a 12.9-inch version.

The small iPad has the same size body as the latest iPad Pro, but instead of a 10.5-inch screen, it now has an 11-inch one.

There's also a new version of the larger tablet with a 12.9-inch panel that features a smaller body, making the tablet less bulky than last year's model.

New iPads are one of the most thin tablets on the market, the 12.9-inch beast measures only 5.9 mm.

Both feature Liquid Retina displays that use True Tine technology and a host of other features. Apple claims this is one of the most accurate and responsive displays the company has ever put on a tablet.

There is no Home button on the front of the tablet; instead, tablets rely on Face ID technology for authentication. This should work similar to the iPhone X and iPhone XS.

Tablets are presented with the latest software iOS 12.1, but it's a little different from how it works on existing tablets. The OS brings a lot iPhone functions X to help you use it without the Home button.

The tablet runs on A12X Bionic chipsets, which are built on Apple's own 7-nanometer process technology. The company promises not only a major improvement in energy consumption, but also an increase in performance. Single-core performance is 35% faster than the last iPad, but we won't know by how much. powerful tablet until we try it ourselves.

Apple's own 7nm GPU sits inside and is said to make graphics performance a thousand times faster than the tablets that came before it...we're glad some games will run better.

We currently don't know how big the battery is in any version of the tablet, while the manufacturer has stated that the tablets will provide "day battery life».

You'll also be able to get up to 1TB of storage with the new iPad Pro, but we don't currently know what storage sizes the company plans to offer for the smaller model.

The big, important change to the new iPad Pro is the USB-C port at the base of the tablet. The purpose of installing the port is to be able to display the tablet’s image on monitors using USB-C.

You can even charge your iPhone from your tablet using a special Charger. Quad speakers return on the new iPad Pro, while the main cameras are 12-megapixel sensors capable of recording 4K video at 60 frames per second. Front-camera– 7 megapixel sensor.

There is also a new Apple version Pencil. It now magnetically attaches to the top of the tablet and will charge via wireless network when you connect it. This means that he will no longer have to stick out from the tablet.

You can also press the stylus to switch between modes, such as eraser or searching for a thicker line. In addition, Apple releases new version keyboard case.

iPad X Pro: News, leaks and rumors travel fast! We've rounded up all the news about the release date, price and specifications for the new iPad X Pro 2018 (or iPad X)

Apple released one new iPad back in 2018, but fans are still waiting for the next generation iPad Pro. This must be a breakthrough: absolutely new design, inspired by the iPhone X, is strongly hinted at by changes to the iPad interface coming with iOS 12, and there is evidence that the screen will have rounded corners.

In this article, we collect rumors about the new iPad X Pro models released in 2018, including their specifications, features, design, prices and release date.

We think the new iPad X Pro models will likely arrive in the fall of 2018, possibly in September along with the new iPhone.

On August 30th, Apple sent out Invitations to a special event on September 12th, so be sure to add that date to your calendar as this could be the first time we see the new iPad X Pro.

More than 14 months have passed since latest update iPad Pro (at WWDC on Friday June 5, 2017), and during WWDC 2018 there was only a demo of iOS 12. The updated iOS 12 hinted at upcoming changes to the iPad interface to make it look like the iPhone X. Check it out by swiping up from the bottom parts of the screen to bring up the Home screen, and swipe from top to bottom to the right to see the control center. This strongly hints that Apple is going to remove the Home button.

In late June 2018, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo published a note (via MacRumors) that he still expected to see an iPad X Pro with Face ID "in the second half of 2018."

Besides, regulations, which surfaced in early July 2018, indicate that five new iPad models are in the works. The list of iPads included A1876, A2013, A1934, A1979, A2014. All of them ran iOS 11 - they are expected to be released before iOS 12 launches in September.

iPad X Pro 2018: Price

The price of the iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) starts at 48,800 rubles, while the 12.9 in model starts at 67,700 rubles. We expect Apple to launch its 2018 iPad X Pro at around the same price, but this could be subject to currency fluctuations and production changes.

Apple has raised prices in Russia as the ruble has weakened following sanctions in 2014 and 2018, and it's possible prices could rise again if the ruble continues to fall.

iPad X Pro 2018: Design

With the release of the iPhone X in late 2017, it looks like the design of the 2018 iPad X Pro will be inspired by that phone - so you can expect the Home button to be gone. But what else could change in terms of design?

No home button

Apple is expected to carry over some design changes from the iPhone X to the iPad Pro line in 2018, namely removing the Home button. This will lead to major changes to the iPad X Pro interface in iOS 12.

The removal of the Home button is not a surprise. However, it seems to be expected that there will be no cutting in iPhone style X, which likely means Apple could build the Face ID camera and related components into the bezel at the top of the device.

Bloomberg sources expected back in November 2017 that at least one new iPad model would ditch the Home button and switch from Touch ID to Face ID.

Face ID

Back in October 2017, Kgi Securities analyst Mini-Chi Kuo predicted that the new iPad X Pro 2018 would include a TrueDepth camera for Animoji and Face ID.

More evidence of an iPhone X-style iPad comes from developer Stephen Troughton-Smith, who tweeted on July 5 that he had found more evidence that Apple would release an iPad with Face ID.

If the iPad offers Animoji it follows that it will be equipped with a TrueDepth camera.

New iPad gestures iOS beta versions 12 also suggests that the new iPad will ditch the Home button in favor of a Face ID camera.

Apparently, the Face ID camera will be able to recognize users even if the device is in landscape mode. Developer Guilherme Rambo noted this when he found code in a beta that indicated Face ID would work in landscape orientation.

New iPad gestures in the iOS 12 beta also suggest the new iPad will ditch the Home button in favor of a Face ID camera.

A report from Japanese supply chain Mac Otakara in July suggested that Apple was having difficulty getting Face ID to work in landscape orientation. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman noted that the new iPad X Pro will offer horizontal support for Face ID.

We think it's unlikely that Face ID won't work when the iPad is in landscape mode, given that the iPhone X can recognize the user when they're lying on their side in bed. It would be surprising if Apple couldn't find a solution to this problem before launch. Supposedly, users can rotate the device during the face capture process.

iPad X Pro 2018: Big screen

The current iPad Pro is available in two screen sizes: 12.9 inches and 10.5 inches.

It looks like by removing the Home button and making the bezels smaller, the new iPad Pro model will allow Apple to make the 10.5 model's screen size closer to 11.

A Chinese report in March 2018 claimed that an 11-inch iPad Pro was in development, as well as a 12.9-inch version.

This suggests that the larger iPad 12.9in will not be larger than it is now, but it may be that Apple can reduce the size of this model while maintaining a larger screen.

iPad X Pro 2018: Dimensions

Reduced bezels could mean the iPads themselves could be smaller. A report on Japanese site Macotakara says the 10.5in model will measure from 250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1mm to 247.5 x 178.7 x 6mm, while the 12.9-inch device will shrink from 305. 7 x 220.6 x 6.9mm to 280 x 215 x 6.4mm.

The iPad X 12.9 model is expected to have big screen, but have smaller size, while the smaller model will get a larger screen size without getting any bigger.

iPad X Pro 2018: Rounded corners

Of course, the device itself will have rounded corners, but there is growing evidence that, like the iPhone X, the new iPad's screen will have a bulge at the top.

An icon found in the iOS 12 beta seemed to hint at a very slight rounding in the corners of the screen, but it was too small to be sure. However, further compelling evidence has since been discovered.

This is a UI mask for rounding the corners of application interfaces, and its shape is unmistakable.

iPad X Pro 2018: OLED

The Galaxy Tab S4 went on sale on August 10, 2018 and is a strong competitor to Apple's iPad.

The Tab S4 has a Super AMOLED screen with 287ppi pixel density (2560x1600 resolution). It also comes with a stylus.

So, can Apple match the screen on the S4? Bloomberg sources did not expect this screen to be OLED back in November 2017. They don't say why, but after the manufacturing difficulties (and supply shortages) the iPhone X's OLED screen seemingly caused, the company may be moving away from OLED on the iPad X Pro.

We see the first concept illustrations of the 2018 iPad. Remember that these are completely unofficial: they are projects that people not associated with Apple came up with as a way to visualize the most popular rumors.

Here are some looks from the ever creative Martin Hadjek, who went to the foreground, without extras. ‘tap, with an inscription on the tablet for the next iPad Pro model. He calls it the iPad Pro X, but for now he's using the WWDC 2018 cover.

Hayek has released numerous image sets on this topic. In an earlier set, he added Apple's new Smart Pencil, which looks great in black and silver.
