As expected, yesterday in the keynote of the WWDC 2018 the official presentation of iOS 12 and after a few hours with the first beta of iOS 12, Not only do we have new details of all the changes and improvements that it is going to bring us, but we have also found information about the news that we can expect from the next apple devices, more specifically, from the iPad Pro 2018.
A first "official" data of the iPad Pro 2018
Of all the predictions and bets that have been made regarding the iPad Pro 2018, probably the one that seemed safest at this point was the incorporation of the Face ID, something that analysts have been predicting practically since the presentation of the iPhone X and that seemed to make a lot of sense thinking that, logically, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), you would like to homogenize gestures and functions in your operating system (in fact, it would reach the "pro" first, but it is expected that it will eventually reach all models).
It does not surprise us too much, therefore, that this is the first feature that we can consider confirmed, this time thanks to the first beta of iOS 12. Of course, you have to take it with some precautions, because it's not really an official announcement and it could always end up being canceled or postponed, but it seems pretty unlikely.
As often happens, as soon as developers get a chance to fiddle with a new version of iOS You end up finding a reference to some feature that does not exist in the current iPad or iPhone and that, therefore, we must assume that we should expect from the next models, and in this case, as you can see in the images, it is the support of the facial recognition for the tablet.
Will or will there not be a notch?
The question that remains unanswered is whether or not there will be notch also in the iPad, and here it is interesting to note that the clock has changed its location on the home screen, so that we no longer have it at the top in the center, but at the top left. This does not mean, of course, that it can be taken for granted, because it could be a mere matter of homogenization in terms of design, but at least it leaves the door open.
The idea of a notch on the iPad may seem strange, but we have already shown you on other occasions concepts iPad Pro 2018 designers are releasing and quite a few of them have integrated the notch in ways that actually seem quite viable (we've seen one that has even dared two).
And we must not forget that lines of code were already found in one of the latest versions of iOS that made reference to a “modern ipad", Which evokes the name of"modern iPhone"Which initially had the iPhone X. Of course, the similarity can be based on many other issues (perhaps simply the Face ID), but there is no doubt that the notch is one of the most distinctive features of the second.
What do you think about it? Would you like to see an iPad with notch?
