New iPad Pro, the long-awaited update of the MacBook Air lineup and other loud announcements.
This year, Apple again gathers journalists for the second autumn presentation . The event will be held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York under the slogan “Something More About Creativity.”
Such a transparent hint and more than 350 different design options for invitations, no doubt, suggests that the company will show the new iPad Pro with advanced features for creativity. However, a huge number of leaks also points to other long-awaited announcements.
According to insiders, the new iPad Pro will get a full front panel screen, following the fashion for a frameless design. The tablet will have two versions: the older one – by 12.9 inches and the younger one – by 11 inches, the diagonal of which will increase due to the narrowed frames.
In addition to the new A12X Bionic processor, the Home button will disappear in both versions, but Face ID and Anomoji support will appear. Unlike the iPhone, in iPad 2018, unlocking will work in any orientation.
Most likely, the tablet will lose its 3.5-inch audio jack, and the proprietary Lightning will be replaced by a universal USB-C. It will allow you to connect additional accessories, among which will be external displays with a resolution of up to 4K.
For the new iPad Pro will also introduce Apple Pencil 2 with improved features for drawing and magnetic mount. Unlike the previous generation, the stylus will be completely wireless, including the initial setup procedure. Apple Pencil will equip the W1 chip in AirPods, so that it can be easily connected to several devices.
