Tencent Digital (Compile: Guti) Apple launched its largest ever iPad product in September last year, which is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This tablet is equipped with an Apple Pencil stylus, a powerful processor, and The iPad has changed dramatically.
Subsequently, Apple introduced the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which can basically be seen as the successor to the iPad Air 2, and has a higher configuration and more attractive performance.
And now, when it comes time to release a new iPad, and in addition to the 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch versions, it seems possible to launch a new iPad Pro, and here we can take a look at so far about the iPad Pro What are the latest news from 2?
release time
The iPad is usually updated once a year, but considering the 9.7-inch iPad Pro released in the first half of this year, it does not seem like the best time for Apple to launch a new iPad Pro.
There is no news of the release date of the iPad Pro 2, although Apple will soon launch the iPhone 7 at the press conference on September 7, but it seems that it will be possible to launch a new generation of iPad Pro by the beginning of next year.
design
At the same time, there is not much news about the iPad Pro 2, but it was previously revealed a spy shot that is said to be a new generation of iPad Pro. This photo comes from Apple's suppliers in China. From the contents of the photo screen, the device The model number is MH1Z2CD/F.
This model does not belong to any existing device, so it is likely to be the iPad Pro 2. From the photos, the design style is not much different from the previous iPad Pro.
Therefore, even if the new iPad Pro 2 is launched, there should not be much surprise in the design. At most, Apple will make the body lighter and thinner, especially for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. After all, The tablet weighs up to 713 grams.
At present, Apple has basically confirmed that Apple will cancel the 3.5mm headphone design on the iPhone 7, and this change will make the body become thinner. If this is the case, it is very likely that this change will continue in the future iPad Pro 2.
In addition, Apple may also join the iPad Pro 2 features such as dust and water, after all, there are rumors that it will appear on the iPhone 7. Although iPad Pro is more likely to be used indoors, it is also a great pleasure for outdoor users to add such features.
screen
Some analysts have said that the iPad Pro 2 will be increased to three different sizes. In addition to 12.9 inches and 9.7 inches, there will be a new 10.5-inch version.
Although the report did not mention other more details, Apple used True Tone technology for the first time on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. This technology allows the tablet to change the color temperature according to the ambient light level, so no matter what the environment Both can show the best results.
In general, Apple rarely changes the resolution of the screen easily, and since the iPad 3 in 2012, there has been little change. The resolution of the current 9.7-inch device is 1536×20048 pixels, so the 9.7-inch iPad Pro 2 is also likely to maintain this resolution.
Similarly, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 will also be equipped with the 2048 x 2732 pixels of the first generation product, and if the 10.5-inch iPad Pro 2 really exists, it is most likely to be between the two iPad Pro.
In addition, we hope that there will be more improvements in display technology on the iPad Pro 2, such as True Tone, but these are more based on software adjustments than hardware changes.
For example, Apple can add 3D Touch technology that has been used on the iPhone 6s to the iPad Pro 2, and the use of this technology can also allow the iPad Pro 2 to have more possibilities. Of course, larger changes may appear on the iPad Pro 3, such as the introduction of a curved AMOLED screen in 2018.
Camera and battery life
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is equipped with a 12-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, so we hope that the iPad Pro 2 should at least maintain this level. Although Apple will never count on pixels, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is a lot better than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
In addition, there are rumors that Apple will use dual cameras and larger sensors on the iPhone 7 Plus. If this new feature is used on the iPad Pro 2, we will not be surprised.
There is currently no news about the new iPad Pro's battery capacity, and the specific size of the capacity should depend on the different screen sizes. However, we hope that Apple will use Fan-Out fan-out technology, which will further reduce the thickness of the screen, leaving more room for the battery.
However, even if this is not necessarily to ensure that iPad Pro 2 will have significant progress in battery life, after all, battery technology has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of mobile devices.
System and performance
iPad Pro 2 is basically preloaded with iOS 10 that Apple will officially release next month, while iOS 10 will significantly improve Siri, improve live streaming, have a new look and a more convenient control center.
In addition, the iPad Pro 2 on the processor may be equipped with a slightly higher A10X chip than the A10. Of course, whether Apple will adopt different positioning methods with different sizes, and distinguish between high-end and low-end, is still uncertain.
Although it is difficult to specifically measure how powerful the A10X processor is, at least it will be a lot better than the current 2.26GHz dual-core A9X. Since the iPhone 7 will use a six-core A10 processor, the A10X should be even more powerful.
In addition, we will see greater operating memory on the iPad Pro 2, especially for the 9.7-inch version. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is already equipped with 4GB of RAM, while the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is only 2GB, so there is a high possibility of a new generation of products.
Other features
Smart Connector This configuration allows the user to scroll through the keyboard and other accessories, and the iPad Pro 2 clearly has to support Apple Pencil and a new generation of smart keyboards.
Of course, some of the new features that appear on the iPhone 7 may also appear on the iPad Pro 2, such as the pressure-sensitive touch Home button.
Competitor
For the iPad Pro 2, especially the large-size version, Microsoft's Surface Pro is undoubtedly the strongest competitor. If it is launched in 2017, then the iPad Pro 2's opponent is the Surface Pro 5.
Both tablets are equipped with an external keyboard and stylus, but one is iOS system is a Windows system, and how to choose, you have to see what the user provides different experience.
In the Android camp, there seems to be no product that can compete directly with the iPad Pro 2. Although Google has Pixel C, but now, there is a certain gap between the iPad Pro.
After watching the rumor summary on iPad Pro 2, let's look at what new features we hope to see on the iPad Pro 2.
1, greater battery capacity
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro's battery capacity is a superb 10307mAh, and although the performance has been excellent enough, we hope to go even further on the iPad Pro 2. After all, more powerful processors and large screens have a heavy burden on the battery.
We also hope that Apple will be able to better optimize on the hardware and systems, and bring longer life to the iPad Pro 2.
2, free Apple Pencil
Apple Pencil is good, but you have to pay extra for it. Therefore, we hope that in the future iPad Pro 2, open the package and you can see Apple Pencil lying quietly inside, for us to provide free of charge. After all, Apple Pencil is still a very useful accessory for professionals.
3, more storage space
Although the iPad Pro 2 already has up to 256GB of space, it is not necessarily enough for professionals, so it would be nice if you could provide a higher-capacity version. If you really have a 512GB version, we can install games, software, music, and save files at any reasonable price.
4, better front camera
Front-facing cameras are sometimes more important to tablet computers than main-cameras. After all, we use it to make video calls. We hope the iPad Pro 2 will have at least a 5 megapixel front camera, just like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, instead of the previously shabby 1.2 million pixels.
5, thinner body
iPad Pro is very heavy, especially the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, so if you can now have a way to make the body lighter and more portable, then for Apple, it will be a different scene.
