iOS 12 confirms iPad with Face ID, says developer

The iPad will have TrueDepth as the iPhone X .

Reliable and renowned developer Steve Troughton-Smith says that iOS 12 has evidence of the arrival of AvatarKit on the iPad. This SDK is for devices to work with Animoji and Memoji.

The developer, known for discovering hidden secrets in Apple's source code, says that the iPad with iOS 12 is ready to launch the # 39; Animoji and Memoji that until now have been exclusive to the iPhone X to be the only Apple product with facial recognition. All you need for the iPad to perform these functions is TrueDepth, the set of cameras and sensors that enable recognition.

Apple will launch an iPad with the TrueDepth system this year, according to previous reports. The tablet will refine the bevels and eventually eliminate the fingerprint reader as it happened with the iPhone. Apple, unlike its rivals in Android, opts for the use of a biometric authentication system – the fingerprint reader or facial recognition – but not two.

Apple has not confirmed the arrival of TrueDepth on the iPad and has not given any information about its upcoming products. New models of the iPad Pro (10.5 and 12.9 inches) are expected to arrive in the autumn of this year.
