Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) Leaked in Renders, Video Ahead of September 12 Launch 271z57

While the tech world is Face ID technology.

The renders and video, iPhone X.

Apart from hinting at Face ID, the renders and the video made using computer-aided design inputs show that there isn't any notch on the frontal area. This is unlike the iPhone X and all the major Android devices that have so far debuted with a facial recognition feature.

Coming towards the video, it shows that the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Antenna lines are also visible from the side view of the iPad. This suggests that Apple may continue to use metal over a glass . Similarly, the Smart Connector on the new iPad Pro is suggested to be relocated to the rear. The existing iPad Pro models notably have the three-pin interface at the left side. The rear-side placement of the Smart Connector will probably help s easily work with Face ID while using an external keyboard cover. This might also help the company reduce the thickness of the side bezels to some extent.

 

The iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) is rumoured to come with the A12 or A12X chipset at the September 12 event. A 10.5-inch iPad Pro variant is also speculated to debut at the forthcoming Apple event. The smaller variant that isn't likely to have any major differences against the 12.9-inch variant.
