Apple's updated iPad Pros, set to premiere Oct. 30, will include Apple-designed graphics hardware – a first in any iPad, a report claimed on Friday.
An alleged leak of what the 2018 iPad Pros will look like.
As rumored, the company is also planning to replace the MacBook Air with a new 13-inch laptop featuring slimmer bezels, Bloomberg sources said. The computer is said to be separate from a 12-inch MacBook, which should get a speed boost.
The report otherwise reiterated many expectations about Apple's fall lineup. The iPad Pro, for instance, should see dramatically reduced bezels, with squared-off sides closer to the SE iPhone look. It will also probably gain a TrueDepth camera for Face ID and Animoji, and switch from Lightning to USB-C.
Its processor should be a variant of the A12 Bionic in the XS and XR iPhone, presumably an "A12X." Also rumored is an updated Apple Pencil, though the Bloomberg sources did not specify what changes are being made.
Mac mini for professionals, and refreshed iMacs and iMac Pros. Bloomberg noted that some Mac products might not be shown off on Tuesday.
Apple has been moving to design more and more of its chips in-house. The process began with A-series processors in 2010, but in the case of MacBook Pros, which handles tasks like the system management controller, Touch ID, and disk encryption.
