Since arriving in the spring of 2010, the iPad has undergone remarkable changes: the transition from the first to the second generation has been immense, for example The iPad Air has been a big step forward in industrial design and has become the model of the latest entry-level iPad, reviewed here.

But arguably the biggest change up to here has come with the different models of iPad Pro, the 12.9-inch screen model released in the fall 2015, at 9.7 the next year and the 10.5-inch model that went on sale last June, reviewed here.

The latest rumor, based on a vendor report posted by the site Japanese Mac Otakara and taken over by 9to5Mac, suggests that this fall's upgrade models could be a big step forward. [19659004]

So, what was suggested in the last leak, and how far is everything possible?

Face ID to replace Touch ID

This is a real game changer and I think that's very likely. For starters, he echoed other leaks, including a report from the ever-reliable Ming-Chi Kuo, who said the next iPad Pro would switch the Touch ID security system to the face ID used on the iPhone X.

That makes a lot of sense to me. For starters, it saves space when you remove the Touch ID button. And if you've used Face ID on the iPhone X, you'll know it's a sublimely simple and highly efficient system that works like a dream. It also has the side effect that the interface will move from one on the current iPads and most iPhones to the up-to-unlock scanning mechanics favored by the iPhone X. Apple does not I did not say so, but I think Face ID is the future and will be on every new iPhone model from now and every iPad Pro. It may even be the next supposed update of the entry-level iPad

so it would be useful to unify the user interface between devices, as everyone who tried to drag their current iPad knows. Incidentally, the statement of Ming-Chi Kuo is that the next iPad Pro will have an 11-inch screen, not the current 10.5-inch screen, and as expected here. This latest rumor also says that there will also be a new 12.9-inch model

Thinner bezels [19659003] Touch ID button and you suddenly have the opportunity to remove the real estate that it currently takes, making for a thinner bezel. It all depends on whether the display technology remains LCD or switches from iPhone X to OLED. If the latter, Apple could potentially use a flexible OLED as it does in the iPhone X. There, it folds it so that the element that creates the chin on most smartphones, the controller of & # 39; 39; display can be hidden and give the iPhone X a whole

I'm waiting for the next iPad Pro to have an LCD, but that does not mean that there will have a huge bottom bezel. With larger gadgets like tablets, you can offer a strong aesthetic with a wider scope than on a phone. It's possible that the next iPad Pro has a screen that swirls around the Face ID camera, like on the iPhone X, but I'll guess that this will not be the case with the iPad Pro. Apple likes symmetry, so it will likely have a similar sized bezel at the top and bottom, just enough to encompass the Face ID area at the top and the display controller at the bottom.

Long edges may have very thin edges, however, they are not really big on the current model.

Assuming that the next iPad Pro retains the same screen sizes of 10.5 inches and 12.9 inches, it seems more likely than ever that the screen technology will be LCD.

More compact dimensions

According to MacOtakara, the new iPad Pro models will be smaller, which makes sense given the thin glasses are predicted. The 10.5-inch model will apparently shrink from 250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1 mm to 247.5 x 178.7 x 6 mm. The largest, 12.9in peripheral will also shrink, the site says, this time current measurements (305.7 x 220.6 x 6.9 mm) at 280 x 215 x 6.4 mm.

That makes sense because Apple has always wanted a maximum screen. size in the minimum gadget dimensions, and the iPhone X is simply the purest form yet of this desire.

Designed to look like the iPhone SE (only larger)

The report cited by Mac Otakara indicates that the edge of the new iPad Pro will be carved into the diamond , similar to the iPhone SE. Well, the design of the iPad has evolved slowly over the years, but I find it less likely. This is a gadget that rests in the palms of one or both hands and the sharp edge of the iPhone SE does not work in a machine of this size – or is it a lack of Imagination from me? I would expect that Apple has thought through the comfort of the iPad Pro and I can not do it with diamond-cut edges front and back.

No headphone jack. Wait, what?

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure about this one. Apple may want to unify the interface between the tablet and the phone, but it has never shown interest in making carbon copies of the drawings in other ways. For example, the power button of the iPhone is moved from the top edge to the upper side is, so to speak, from the iPhone 7. But every iPad since always put this button on the top edge because, I believe, the ergonomics is

Of course, Apple is guiding us to a wireless future, but AirPods and other wireless headsets are already working with the iPad, so the only reason to drop the headphone jack that I can see is if the tablets are too thin to house

Again, I may be wrong, but I am skeptical about it.

Different orientation for Smart Connector

I'm sorry, Mac Otakara, but your provider really loses me. The theory is that the Smart Connector that is currently on the left edge of the iPad Pro will move down near the Lightning connector.

The reflection is that because it's a tablet with Face ID, unlocking with the iPad in landscape orientation is impossible. Thus the Smart Connector, used for example to connect to the excellent Smart Keyboard, will only work in portrait orientation and will connect to the base of the iPad Pro.

Maybe it's a lack of imagination on my part I do not see how it will work. The Smart Keyboard will have to be about the same size as the way it is now usable – under these rumors, it will already be 4mm closer and more than it will be a bargain breaker, I would say.

you can disconnect the keyboard from the iPad Pro where it fits perfectly as a cover and connect it to the base to type but, first, it is clumsy and not at all Apple. Secondly, it is likely that the vertical tablet will become unstable.

There was also a rumor that Face ID was working in a landscape position, which seems to be a more likely solution. Or Apple did something I did not think of.

As a business, Apple is hard to predict, but it's also very easy to profile. And part of this profile is that he thinks everything through incredible details. This makes Smart Connector's new position unlikely to say the least, in my opinion.

So, what is the probability of this rumor?

bezels, Face ID – all very likely, I would say. But the diamond cut edges and the removal of the headphone jack are less, although still possible. The movement of the Smart Connector baffles me. The new tablets arrive this fall, I imagine, so it does not stay long to wait and I will update this post while other rumors surfaced.
